FRACTURE LIVE – 12/31/91

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.

FRACTURE IN CLEVELAND 1995


I had to post this video as well from aouoon’s youtube page. This video is of Fracture playing in Cleveland in 1995. The video begins with their song, No Way DNA, still one of my favorite songs of all time.

I don’t know why exactly, but it is.

Thus you can have low cialis cost a delicious ED treatment with Kamagra medications. The video’s also pretty great because the show was held in a rather large hall. One of those halls with bolted down seats, an orchestra pit and a stage that towered 5 feet up in the air. At the time, the idea of even playing on a stage seemed alien. We were more used to playing in basements and on the floors of VFW halls. So, when Fracture took the stage, feeling a bit out of sorts, they invited the crowd up on the mega-huge stage with them to make it feel a little more, “normal.” Unfortunately, after the first song they were told kids on the stage were a no go and this video captures that moment.

It’s funny to see Jeb contest the decision, Chris quietly accept it and Atom try to rationalize it to the crowd in his special, sarcastic way.

P.S. – Jesse really was a fantastic drummer that was a blast to watch play.
