Man, it’s hard enough trying to remember the who, what and where of any basement recording. Mix that confusion in with young kids in their first bands with lineups that would change monthly and you’ve got a recipe for incorrect facts.
Nonetheless, Jeff Vaders sent me this awesome recording of one of the first incarnations of Fracture playing on New Years Eve in his parents basement. While the recordings themselves might not be of the highest caliber, the sentiment certainly is.
The very first band I ever played in was called The Tazmanians (amazing recordings and photos to come!). We had just finished 8th grade and were listening to the Sex Pistols and The Clash pretty much non-stop. However, we had a pretty small group of friends and we weren’t aware of any other kids playing punk music. That is, until a friend of ours, Jeff Vaders introduced us to his band called VILE. They practiced in Jeff’s garage and I still remember walking down from TJ’s house to meet the rest of the guys in the band. It was Jeff singing, Jeb Bell on bass, Dan Goldberg playing guitar and Jeb’s brother Rob playing drums. They were a year younger than us but it was pretty awesome to have another band playing punk music. VILE would only last a short spell and would evolve into a band called Up In Arms. At some point, Up In Arms broke up (by this time Rob had left the band and Fernando was playing drums instead) and Jeb and Jeff started a band called Fracture.
The original line-up of Fracture was Jeff Vaders sharing singing duties with Chris O’Neill, Jeremy Rocket playing guitar, Jeb Bell playing bass and Rob Bell playing drums. While this line-up would not last long either (in fact, Jeff ended up leaving and a fella named Tim Schwartz took up the reigns of the “co-singer” for a spell) Fracture would go on to have quite a good run from 1991 until 1995 putting out some really awesome records.

Jeff remembers it was an odd night filled with awesome High School drama, but listening in 19 years later, it sounds like it was a pretty fun night for a bunch of High School kids.
Don’t forget… if we’re talking original line ups: fracture started as (compound) fracture the day Paul broke that kids leg playing soccer in Gym and he was on Sax and it was a ska band. Probably practiced less than 4 times that way… I think we had a cover of bad town by op ivy and probably a busters song.
