##   <center><b>Fear</b>  - <i>We Destroy The Family</i></center>

## Fear were a band who were very true
<div class="pull-right">https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grapthar/Eo8M2fTeDLhYJsZVtMcBhycfv6BeMQXonAWug4Jw5RvSYQdcdN3gz9zgtU9tVyBfDeP.jpg<center><b>Fear performing live (<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediaspin.com%2Ffear.html&psig=AOvVaw1tjZ2CVBnU4z_lgr128EBN&ust=1626586019821000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAsQjRxqFwoTCNCt6Kav6fECFQAAAAAdAAAAABAd">Image Source</a>)</b></center></div><div class="text-justify">to their name, at least for me when I first heard them, as I was actually kind of scared.  They were fast, aggressive, and offensive.  I couldn't pin down their politics, as they seemed to hate everyone equally, and that was strange compared the other punk bands I liked at the time.  However, this grew into a fascination, and I become a massive fan as I grew to really understand what they were doing in the late '70s and early '80s.  <b>Fear</b> were one of the preeminent of the LA punk acts in the burgeoning scene of the late '70s (they formed in 1977), and are considered to be a major part of the LA Hardcore Punk sound, alongside bands like <b>Black Flag</b> and <b>Adolescents</b> (a little later on).  The classic line-up consisted of Lee Ving (guitar, vocals), Philo Cramer (guitar), Derf Scratch (bass, also great name), and Spit Stix (drums), though they've had quite a few members over the years, including Flea, before his time in the <b>Chili Peppers</b>.</div>


## This song is from the band's 
<div class="text-justify">first full length, <i>The Record</i>, released in 1982, which consisted of a lot of songs they had been honing over the previous 5 years resulting in a really solid bunch of extreme, hardcore punk tunes.  I love Philo Cramers guitar leads generally, they are wild and noisey and bendy, and, for this song specifically, I love the dissonant guitar part, which outlines the super weird, out-there rhythm of the entire track.  The lyrics are kind of scary at first glance, though Ving always did these things in a tongue in cheek way, and was probably laughing as he wrote them.</div>
