Siege were a second generation Boston hardcore band that improved on the speed of early GANG GREEN and JERRY’s KIDS. And although they released only a cassette and some comp tracks the songs were so good that many bands would make tributes to them and they would become legendary. I started out by showing Robert my copy of the “Drop Dead” ep which Robert was explaining was a bootleg. We pick up with that conversation.
