UPDATE 9-19-2007: Band still dead, but more body parts are about to wash up on this filthy beach. You should probably sit right there on the edge of your seat and keep refreshing the page until then. Seriously.
DHYS was a great band and living proof of "right time, wrong scene". In the "turn of the mellinium" Portland, ME, SoCal, melodic, fast punk with substance had a small niche shadowed by bands that stood for less and fell in line with the (at the time) going Boston punk sound of the time. Do we sound bitter? You bet yer ass! Being a diverse group in love with ALL punk music (styles) we expected the same from the scene. We expected everybody to be willing to work and FIGHT for venues, bands, zines, etc as hard and viciously as we did. Instead it seemed as if most were more concerned with being scenesters than building something of our own. And now, nearly 7 years later, DHYS is nothing more than a memory most vivid in the minds of those involved. Now that the primary members are litterally 1,000s of miles apart, that memory is what keeps them together. If you are some kind of promoter or someone who wants something form DHYS, piss off-we are dead as a band. If you are a fan or an old friend, stop by once in a while & say "hi", or someone who stumbled on this site and likes what you hear, drop a line and we'll get a super-collection CD to you, on my dime!
