Is the sum greater than (or ever equal to) the parts? In this case, Fake Names is the sum and the parts are Refused, Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Embrace, One Last Wish, Soulside, Girls Against Boys and Fugazi. It’s a tall order to be sure and the supergroup pulls from some varied influences, some more expected than others. How close do they get to their lineage. We discuss (without surprisingly little debate).
RIP Bob Nalbandian
