Integrity
I've been on a real Integrity kick today and have been listening to them all day. Seeing as we seem to have a real varied selection of listening
tastes around here, I thought I'd ask what other people think of them. I don't love everything they've ever done but they have some really amazing
shit. Especially their old stuff.

This is too weird, it is the same here man. To Die For, Seasons in the Size of Days and Humanity is the Devil have been spinning regularly for the
past few weeks. To Die For the sound quality is superb, one of the good things about deathwishinc.
I've had a few chances to see them too. Unfortunately something always came up.

That really surprises me. I actually expected you to come on here and say they suck because (insert reason here).

hahahahahaha!
That time you guys played with them at The Chameleon (you may recall, I was wearing ice spikes in the pit, leaving bloody skinheads in my wake),
Rennie was in the back (which is really the front, i guess) going off about having to drive all the way to Lancaster to play with a bunch of lousy
bands. "fuck integrity, they fucking suck" ...right in front of Dwid. ...of course!

I'm sorry Discipline, I was trying to be funny but as usually happens I failed again. Not a fan. Had some unpleasant encounters with them over the
years but at this point it's irrelevant.
Duane, for such a nice family man and all around good guy, there was something horribly wrong, or oh so right, about you in those days. I guess it's
our inability to hide our disgust for all things sucky that has kept us in teh toilet for 15 years.

Integ was best when Frank 3 Gun and the Melnick bros were in the band. I saw them in 96 at the original Peabodys when Dwid and Human Furnace did
Vocal Test together in ski masks like they had just knocked off a gas station.

Im pretty sure Humanity is the Devil came out before Integrity 2000. Maybe last year or the year before they put out an EP on Deathwish called To Die
For that's really good. Integrity 2000 isnt an official "Integrity" release from what I understand. It's sort of a collaboration I believe, and it
includes at least one member of Mushroomhead. That shit is terrible.

Gah! Integ 2000 was TERRIBLE. Don't touch that shit with a beekeeper suit on.
Otherwise, Integrity is fucking great. I was so pleased with To Die For. That record kicks ass. Just needed to be longer. Humanity is the
Devil is by far my favorite though. I still listen to that record and it's almost 10 years later.

Its funny, I replied to a blurb about Integrity in the AF thread, then I see this thread.
Anyway, old Integrity rules. I remember getting the 'In Contrast of Sin' 7" when it came out and I was totally blown away. To this day its still my
favorite record of theirs.
Those Who Fear Tomorrow is awesome. Systems is OK. Humanity is the Devil is great, everything after that sucks.

I used to be a big Integrity fan back in those early days, which is weird considering I hate metal and metal posing as Hard Core even more. I still
have all my old Integrity stuff from the In Contrast Of Sin 7 inch on up until Humanity Is The Devil. After that I lost interest and when Psywarfare
or whatever came out I pretty much was disgusted. I did pick up To Die For and some of that was pretty good, but I wasn't too terribly surprised when
the final tour ended the way it did.

^^^^^^ I second this. I saw INTEGRITY PLAY back in 90 and pretty much every show they had in cleveland until 96 at the NEUROSIS EYEHATEGOD INTEGRITY
WARZONE show at PEABODY'S in 96. I have never even heard anything on cd since HUMANITY. That one with the silver cover just sucked. I sold that the
moment I bought it. I saw them play at their SUPPOSED reunion at the new PEABODY'S in I think 99 and it was ok but half the band wasn't even the
reunion band.

The first INTEGRITY show was at the BABYLON A GOGO w/ INSTED and DWID had blue hair. They were rad though. Great shows.
TODD. Tell us about the shit you guys had to deal with. I got a couple stories too but probably not as good as your's being from another state and
all. I have heard some funny shit about them and other bands in other cities and Dwid.
Please dude. I could go for some funny stories.

It's nothing real Maury Povich or anything, but we've always had a real low tolerance for bands that don't treat other bands well and convince
themselves, and a few others, that they're much bigger than they really are. To be honest, I've probably listened to about 3 Integ songs over the
years and the 2 (?) times we played with them I went outside.
If you want some good stories you may want to ask about certain prominent members of the NYHC community and a certain trip to Cleveland.
I got no time for old beefs like that. I have new people to hate and I don't want a backlog.

Ok, Here's a story for you that Rennie just reminded me of: Me and Ren went to see Supertouch and Judge, Integrity, and Turning Point were also on
the bill. So I guess during Integrity's set I fell asleep on a bench in the back and some nice girl woke me up and said "hey, are you ok?" and
apparently I started screaming at her "no I'm not fucking ok, look at this fucking show for god's sake, this is a fucking abomination, etc" at the top
of my lungs. Now I know some of you would invent a time machine to go see this show but from someone that was there...YAWN.

Condensed version: Apparently a bunch of SHARPS attacked the band for letting
Chubby play with them because he's associated with the supposed nazis of One Life Crew. After that they cancelled the rest of the tour and broke up
for good.
