I love Gray Matter so much more than RoS. I have no idea why people go ape**** for RoS, and they overlook Gray Matter. Gray Matter's "Take It Back" EP is a perfect blueprint for screamo and emo for years to come. Thick, pronounced basslines, strained, almost screaming vocals at times. Plus, RoS never wrote a song half as good as "Head." That song in itself contains so many aspects of hardcore that are still prevalent in screamo its hard to believe that they were a Revolution Summer band. This band was miles above the other mid 80's DC bands.
