Every Friday the punk rock geniuses here at Dying Scene unleash some punk rock trivia. Today’s “fun factoid” is about a lesser known collaboration between members of some quite well known bands.
Viva Death started as a collaboration between Face to Face’s Scott Shiflett and Trever Keith. Together, they picked up a few baritone guitars and corralled Scott’s brother Chris (Foo Fighters, No Use For A Name), Josh Freese (The Vandals, NIN, most of your CD collection) and F2F producer Chad Blinman and put out their self-titled debut on Vagrant Records. Their schedule’s aligned again to allow them to put out 2006’s “One Percent Panic” on Blinman’s Functional Equivalent Recordings. Shiflett took the reins himself and played all instruments solo for 2010’s “Curse The Darkness.” The sound is increasingly broad and diverse: post-punk, progressive metal, ambient, spy music, tribal chanting, zombie surf rock. Check out their official page and push your musical boundaries.
