Calm

Just after Mohinder and right before Duster, Calm surfaced in the mid-’90s to feed on the wage-depressed suburban Gen-X malaise. The trio of Clay Parton, Albert Menduno, and Indian Summer’s Marc Bianchi ripped off a six-song EP of chugging riffs, thunderous drums, and muted vocals. Issued in the summer of ’95 on their own Unleaded label, Calm’s untitled 12” was a fresh exhale of post-emo breath. Spiritually borrowing from upperclass indie but working with a no-fi budget, Bart Thurber captured a group of kids coming into their own. Calm is a Polaroid still waiting to develop.
