Pitchfork

About the artist

Pitchfork was a post-hardcore band, formed in 1986 in San Diego, California by Rick Froberg (vocals), John Reis (guitar), Don Ankrom (bass) and Joey Piro (drums). The bands that influenced the guys included Mission of Burma, Honor Role, Sonic Youth, Squirrelbait and more. Compared to Froberg and Reis' later band Drive Like Jehu, Pitchfork's music was much more melodic, as well as less complex; though Froberg (then known as Rick Farr) can easily be recognized by his highly-metaphoric lyrics and screaming but melodic vocals
