about
Pushed Aside was formed during the summer/fall of 1988. Scott Snowden (drums) and Jeff Carlyle (guitar) started jamming together in Scott's house when both of their current bands were beginning to fall apart. They soon hooked up with John Coyle who was playing guitar in Straight Arm and started putting songs together. At this time they had the unofficial name of Linedrive. They added Randy Johnson on bass and John would become the singer. Soon after, John decided he wanted to play for Stand Alone (which was the new name for Straight Arm) on a full time basis. Randy then shifted to singing and Chris Nyhus became the full time bass player. John Coyle would later form and sing in a couple other important hardcore bands, Outspoken and Kill The Messenger. In Feburary of 1989, Pushed Aside went to Spot Studios to record their 5 song demo. All members were late for the early recording time because of the Hard Stance show the night before. The hardcore crowd came to see Hard Stance, but unfortunately The Offspring also played this show and played a set that was well over an hour long that pushed the beginning of Hard Stance's set time back to 1:30AM in the morning. Nobody heard their alarms at 6AM because their ears were still ringing from the powerfully loud performance hours earlier. Although more than 2 hours late, Pushed Aside put together a recording of songs that many consider one of the great hardcore demos of that era. Combining influences of Cro Mags, Bad Brains, Raw Deal
