Siege (band)

Siege (band)

Siege was an American hardcore punk band from Weymouth, Massachusetts. They were active in the 1980s Boston hardcore scene from 1983 to 1985, and reunited briefly in the early 1990s.

Siege's form of intense hardcore incorporated fast tempos together with vocalist Mahoney's screeches and growls. Though rather short-lived and little-known during their existence, the band is highly revered by hardcore and punk fans worldwide as being one of the pioneers of the grindcore and powerviolence sub-genres. Subsequent musicians have cited the group as a profound influence, including the famous British grindcore band Napalm Death and the American thrashcore band Dropdead, whose namesake was derived from the title of Siege's demo of the same name.
