Which band was more wild and rebellious, Pavement or The Nymphs?
Pavement (band) Pavement was an American indie rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989. The group mainly consisted of Stephen Malkmus (vocals and guitar), Scott Kannberg (guitar and vocals), Mark Ibold (bass), Steve West (drums) and Bob Nastanovich (percussion and vocals). Initially conceived as a recording project, the band at first avoided press or live performances, while attracting considerable underground attention with their early releases. Gradually evolving into a more polished band, Pavement recorded five full-length albums and nine EPs over the course of their decade-long career, though they disbanded with some acrimony in 1999 as the members moved on to other projects. In 2010, they undertook a well-received reunion tour.
Youth Defense League Youth Defense League was an Oi!/New York Hardcore (NYHC) band formed in 1986. The band was featured in the Revelation Records compilation album "New York City Hardcore", which featured several NYHC bands, including Sick Of It All and Gorilla Biscuits. The group has been accused of racism and possible neo-Nazi sympathies. The band's usage of nationalistic slogans and struggle for the downtrodden working-class man has garnered much support from fascist groups worldwide despite the band denying such claims, arguing that they merely promoted an inclusive positive attitude towards the US and not fascism.
