That's interesting. I guess the single they're talking about wasn't ever released and Can I Say became the LP with Smalley instead. It would have been cool if they did release a single with Shawn on vocals.
Great video! Dave Smalley's voice was the voice of Dag Nasty for me but I came about it in reverse from ALL. Shawn Brown's voice rules in a different way which led me to Swiz who are fucking incredible. I really liked the way the dust settled with all these bands...except Junkyard, of course.
Dave Smalley was HARDLY the voice of Dag Nasty. This video demonstrate how stronger Dag Nasty were with Shawn on vocals. After listening to Shawn sing "Can I Say," hearing the album version with Dave on vocals sounds lame in comparison. Shawn's voice is heavier and more aggressive, which fits the music perfectly. Smalley sounds like an adolescent struggling to find his range.
emo my arse. they were a hardcore band full stop emotionional hardcore was just a term some guy in a fanzine used to describe the rites of spring album. after that any band that sounded remotely like rites of spring or weren't quite as intense as minor threat were tarred with the same brush. like ian mckaye said "as if hardcore weren't emotional enough already." check it out it's on youtube.
Still, the first emo band. They was the band who made the genre. One of the first, atleast. The emoes we got today is something different than it was at that time. Still they were the first emo band, k?
It was one of the first EMO-bands. I don't mean people who cut themselves and stuff like that, but it is a music type, and that music type is EMO, because the text is about feelings.
EMOs are just retarded people that didn't understand the point. this is hardcore, fast and loud, and talking about other kind of feelings, not the sadness cause the pretty face doesn't care about them
Dude who the fuck would say this is emo? I used to skate to this band back in mid 80's. EMO wasn't even a classification back then for music. WTF? Retards
I would not classify Dag Nasty as Emo, but you've gotta admit the tag, Emo, has changed a bit, even in the last 10 years let alone 20. As mentioned Rites of Spring etc, then in the 90s I think of Braid Jets To Brazil, etc, and now Black Hair, backpacks, tight black pants and complete trendy faggots.
Wow, how you think this is emo is beyond me ..... they arent whining .... crying .... they are aggresive angry and fast .... so i dont see the emo in it .... they also dont have droves of fans who cut themselfs dye their hair jet black and cry ....
Dude it's not Emo in those years there wasn't a style named Emo ... and its Punk dude, just because they're screaming and singing about the bad sides of love doesn't mean it's emo ... morons
shawn brown is still living in MD. he works at Tattoo Paradise and is still an amazing guy. Sorry this is kinda late..but just thought you'd want to know :)
I agree , i didnt really like can i say with Dave Smalley. Sean Brown wrote the lyrics to all those songs, and the shit they wrote after he left blows.
I believe Minor Threat would have sounded like this if they had continued in going towards the more melodic direction....As for Dys and Dag Nasty sucking I have to disagree. Yeah it was different and I will say that after the first Dys record they became horrendous.
Nice Dag Nasty video. Brian definitely ran that band. Here's a link to one of my Rites of Spring videos, "Spring." I have 10 or so Rites of Spring videos posted.
