Biography

There are at least four bands with the name Diatribe:

1) Diatribe is a San Diego California hardcore punk band formed in late ‘84,one of the first political bands in the states, their style is similar to that of Discharge, Crucifix, Broken Bones, Iconoclast, English Dogs…etc they recorded The Aftermath EP (tape) in ‘85 which was also bootlegged in ‘92 on Revoltation records as a 7”EP and has since then been released in ‘07 by Get Revenge Records as a 7’’ EP.The band is working on new material and has shows set up for 2010.

This San Diego band became one of the first political punk bands in the U.S.A. They quickly started creating mayhem around town.They played they’re first show opening for D.O.A. and Abrasive Wheels. The band soon found themselves playing shows and sharing the stage with great bands like Conflict,Subhumans,Iconoclast,SNFU,Broken Bones,Battalion of Saints. The six song Demo tape “AfterMath”was recorded DIY for only 25 bucks.The Demo got rave reviews and the band soon had a strong following.A tour of the states was soon to follow.

This 7” EP on Get Revenge Records contains the six-song “Aftermath” demo, Diatribe’s only widely circulated recording. One track from it, “I’m Your Leader,” appeared on the Mortarhate 2xLP compilation “We Won’t Be Your Fucking Poor.” The demo was bootlegged circa 1991 on vinyl 7” by Revoltation Records in the UK, with one additional song called “The Day I Was Born,” obviously from a different recording session. Oddly, the order of the tracks on the Revoltation bootleg is not the same as on the original cassette.

    The hardcore band is really great, but I really want to check out the post-punk Diatribe...

    Now that I also have all singles / EPs of them (the industrial rock one), I can say it was worth ordering them. But I wish the song "Meathook" would be longer, not just 1:27 minutes. But problem solved, I just play this song like 3 times in a row. And also damn lucky, I found the songs "Needle Park" and "Cockeyed Motherfucker" uploaded on youtube.

    I understand why you say this, and indeed, in the context of punk the discourse could definitely be called juvenile, but perhaps you should explore the tenets of anarchism and libertarian socialism before you dismiss them as juvenile.

    The REAL Diatribe is the San Diego anarcho/D-Beat punk band that's existed since the early 80's. "imitations"...pfft. The "cold wave" band can take their lame shiny pants and walk into traffic.

    The real Diatribe is the coldwave band that appeared on Re-Constriction Records. These other bands are poor imitations.

    US anarcho-punk is high-grade raw assault.

    I wish they would make separate pages for the different bands. It's so lame to open the radio thinking its for the band you want and you get songs for the other one.

    I see, that one picture isn't official anymore. well thanks for that! I think i'm totally falling in love with a few songs from their self-titled album (I mean the Industrial Diatribe), these are "Land's End", "Sick The Dogs" and "Four Fifty One". druggy and addicting as US-Coldwave has to be (with a few exceptions).

    Last.fm has enough space to accommodate all kinds of bands called "Diatribe". Still, the industrial rock one was first, hats off to them :-)
