Bells of – Lawrence McDonald – Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Bells of – Lawrence McDonald – The Band – 1985 was a transitional period for the Washington DC music scene. Founding members of the hardcore movement pulled away from its original trajectory in search of a new musical direction. Rites of Spring, Embrace, and Gray Matter are all well-known and well-documented examples of this time and shift that came to be known as Revolution Summer. But theirs were not the only voices. In the early months of ’85, 17-year-old guitarist Lawrence McDonald set out to form a new band. His ex-band mates from his previous hardcore band Capital Punishment were doing the same– Mike Fellows with Rites of Spring and Colin Sears with Dag Nasty. Lawrence found vocalist Alec MacKaye (Faith), drummer Pete Wilborne (The 400), and bassist Bleu Kopperl and Bells of was born. Inspired by the budding movement of the time, the band moved quickly.
