On August 29th, 2010, a handful of seminal Bostonbased hardcore bands got together for the once-ina- lifetime Gallery East Reunion show. This show featured performances from bands like JERRY’S KIDS, GANG GREEN, the FU’s and one of the most influential hardcore bands to ever come out of Boston: DYS. Featuring tracks recorded from the Gallery East Reunion Show on August 29th, 2010, More Than Fashion highlights songs from DYS’s two prior studio recordings in a celebration of Boston’s hardcore history and the band’s place in it. DYS founding member Dave Smalley went on to sing for DAG NASTY, ALL, and DOWN BY LAW, among others, while co-founder Jonathan Anastas helped launch secondgeneration Boston hardcore band SLAPSHOT. DYS is considered an early prototype for the straight edge “youth crew” bands of the 90s as well as pioneers of the early melding of hardcore and metal into “crossover.” By including songs from both eras in their history, More Than Fashion: Live from the Gallery East Reunion showcases the band’s evolution and passion for all forms of heavy music.
