Scream – “DC Special Sha La La”

You probably already know the story. In 1986, Dave Grohl was a 17-year-old punk rocker from Rockville, Maryland, and he joined one of his favorite bands. Long before Nirvana and the Foo Fighters entered the picture, Grohl became the drummer for Scream, a band that was already three albums deep into a pretty great run. Scream were part of the scene around Dischord Records, and their fast, frantic sound included a pronounced reggae influence that they’d presumably picked up from Bad Brains. The band broke up in 1990, and Dave Grohl went on to become a two-time Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer. Now, Scream are back with a new album.
