Biography

New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States

A Wilhelm Scream is a / band from New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm scream, a famous stock sound effect which mainly is used in films. The band previously went by the names Smackin’ Isaiah, Koen and Adam’s Crack, though the former was the only name to be used in any major release. The reason for the name changes “from Koen to Smackin’ Isaiah to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing/maturing as a band.”

Early years (1992 - 2000)

In 1993, drummer Trevor Reilly, guitarist John Carvalho and bassist Jonathan Teves formed the band Adam’s Crack and recorded a Nirvana-inspired demo cassette. In 1994 Reilly and Carvalho started a side band with Nuno Pereira on vocals, and others. The side band played one show before disbanding. Members from the two bands would merge into one, taking the name Koen. The lineup of Koen consisted of Pereira (vocals), Reilly (drums), Teves (bass), Carvalho (rhythm guitar) and friend Mat Demelo (lead guitar and trumpet). Under the name Koen, the band released one cassette titled “The Big Fall…”, this time with their sound evolving more into and . In 1997, the band changed its name again, this time to Smackin’ Isaiah, and released a cassette titled “Give Girls More Beer…”. Mat Demelo left the band shortly after.

    If the new album has the same overall mood as boat builders has, i'd be fine with it.

    ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! West Ukraine hardcore scene exists more than eight years.During this time, we did over a hundred concerts and several festivals. In Ivano-Frankivsk, Uzhgorod, Lviv regularly, every month, you can visit some hardcore punk show.For these years this cities was visited by many bands from Europe and USA,and always the organization was on a high level, the musicians were happy,and many of them come back to Western Ukraine again. But now we have a problem.Last year some guy from Lviv ,ALEXANDR "SASHA" UNKNOWN ,start to organize a hardcore gigs.The first show was good,but then he began to trick bands.He does not give them money and food, and his organization on a very poor level .He's just a crook and idiot,and we ask you NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM. His contacts Олександр Unknown 0935348857 koncertlviv@gmail.com Emitted Generation booking WE HOPE THIS INCIDENTS DOES NOT REFLECT ON THE GOOD NAME OF OUR WEST CREW!!!!

    It really feels like this album is never going to come out. It would be a real shame, because the new songs i've heard are so good.
