Band history
Scream was founded in 1982 by brothers Peter and Franz Stahl (vocals and guitar), bassist Skeeter Thompson and drummer Kent Stax in Virginia . Shortly thereafter, the band played with several producers, including Ian MacKaye , their first album Still Screaming , which was released in 1983 by Dischord Records, making it the first full studio album by a single band on the label.
For their second album This Side Up , the band took on Robert Lee Davidson as a second guitarist as an additional member. The third album Banging the Drum , released in 1987, was recorded in this formation . After the publication of this work, drummer Stax left the group, he was replaced by Dave Grohl .
