Citizens Arrest — Discography

Genre: Hardcore Punk
Country: USA, New York City, NY

Citizens Arrest was founded in 1989 by Ted Leo (vocals), Janis Chakars (guitar), Joseph Martin (bass) and Daryl Kahan (drums). They had previously met in a hardcore specialized record business around the New York hardcore CBGB. The band name is the title of a piece of the debut album of the Boston hardcore band Negative FX. After recording a demo album name singer Leo left the band, and Kahan, the parallel drums on Born Against played, took over his job. New citizen-arrest drummer became the fanzine-Master Patrick Winter. First, some of the band’s songs appeared on hardcore samplers and a Grindcore sampler by Slap-a-Ham Records . An EP and an album were produced by Don Fury , as well as a Flexidisc with live recordings of a concert in the CBGB.

The band was part of the Lower East Side club ABC No Rio. The focus on hardcore bands developed there after the CBGB did not book hardcore shows for insurance reasons. Citizens Arrest was one of the first hardcore bands to play regularly at ABC No Rio, and members participated in the organization of the hardcore event series. Thus, Citizens Arrest represented an alternative path of development of the New York Hardcorewhich was characterized more by male stereotypes, while the Citizens Arrest scene in the ABC No Rio drove a policy strictly against sexism and violence. In 1991 the band broke up because of «musical differences». Singer Kahan hinted in an interview that financial reasons might have been behind the breakup: in 1991, Citizens Arrest had been offered to play on one of the lucrative but major label-backed «Superbowl of Hardcore» shows, causing the band to go underground the impression of a debate at the time in the scene on the pros and cons of the artistic independence of major labels refused.

Daryl Kahan was active as a singer at Assuck after the separation of Citizens Arrest . The original singer Ted Leo was a singer of the alternative band Chisel and founded in the late 1990s Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. The other members remained loyal to the music and played partly together in smaller, local hardcore bands, such. Chakars, Martin and Leo at Hell No, which released three albums in the 1990s. In 1994, the German label Lost and Found Records released a Citizens-Arrest compilation album with all the band’s tracks produced in the studio. In 2010, Citizen’s arrest reformed in the last occupation; For three years, the original singer Ted Leo was also the second guitarist. In 2015 Patrick Winter left the band and was replaced by Derik Moore.
