Disciplinary Action

Like my last post (Situated Chaos) Disciplinary Action were not actually a Bellmore band – they were all from Oceanside, Long Island. But there are Bellmore connections...

"USA Rules!", the fourth song on Disciplinary Action's self-titled demo, was a Justified Violence song. After Justified Violence broke up Ron Bianco and Pete Casano went on to form Twisted Cross with guitarist Scott Reid (who later formed Disciplinary Action). Twisted Cross would play the Justified Violence song and Scott then played it with Disciplinary Action. Scott would also later go on to form Adrenachrome with Bellmore's very own Mike Walch – which I'll get to at a later date.

The Elite (1987-1990...or '91?)

When Justified Violence broke up, the band split in half. Bobby S and Jim Collette (when he wasn't playing with Agnostic Front) formed The Elite, while Ron Bianco and Pete Casano formed Twisted Cross. Along the way a life was lost...line-ups changed...and a little jail time.

Here's the complete story...


THE ELITE
Dan Miellie - vocals ('87)
Mike Dietz - vocals ('87-'91)
Bobby S - guitar
Ed Calibrito - bass ('87)
Dave Deluca - bass ('87-'89)
Joe Kollar - bass ('89-'91)
Jim Collette - drums

TWISTED CROSS
Ron Bianco - vocals
Scott Reid - guitar
Pete Casano - bass
Mike Dietz - drums

Looking back, there's a few things I would've done differently to Bellmore: The Unscene. One is including The Elite and Dan Miellie story (it's part of the DVD extras). I was at The Elite/Intellectuals show at La Serayña in 1987. It was the first time the older generation (older by about 4 years) played with the younger generation (my peers)...when you're in you're mid-teens, four years is a big difference. If anything, it showed us that we had a long way to go at being good musicians – The Elite were tight.


Here's The Elite's "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" recorded with Dan Miellie on 8/24/87...
