◇ image via WikipediaGray Matter
Gray Matter is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of The Beatles, Janis Joplin and The Rolling Stones. Those roots explain a lot about how Gray Matter arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dag Nasty, The Teen Idles, Heroin, Government Issue and Minor Threat, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Three, Rain and Ignition, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 18 connections around Gray Matter, reaching back through The Beatles and forward to Three. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
