about
Verbal Discretion was a hardcore punk band from Dublin, Ireland They were formed in the summer of 2001 by guitarist Sean Riddick and then Drummer Joey Prendergast, following a few lineup changes, the band settled with Sean on Guitar, Ben Lawlor on Bass and Andy Walsh on Drums, It was with this lineup that they recorded their first demo, a gutsy low-fi punk record containing influences from Green Day and the Offspring. Following another drummer change Sean McGarry replaced Andy and the band set about recording their new material which had a far more hardcore sound due to the development of the local DIY scene and their exposure to such bands as Kidd Blunt and Soldiers Take Half. This record was never completed and they eventually resorted to releasing the demo tracks themselves as a second demo tape. Sean McGarry then left the band leaving Sean and Ben searching for a drummer to record some newer material that was intended to be released under the name of A State Of Panic. The last Verbal Discretion Recording, 8 Seconds Gone, was produced for the Basta Youth Collective's Compilation. Following a few false starts and the success of Sean's Side projects (Acoustic R & Vicious Dig), the band finally split up at the end of 2006 (i think!).
