A Short History:
Severin hailed from Washington, DC. They played shows from 1990-1993 releasing four singles; three on Superbad/Dischord, one on Sub-Pop, and released one full-length, Acid To Ashes, on Dischord Records. Characterized by crisp, weaving and dueling guitar melodies puncuated by frenetic rhythms, Severin broke eardrums and genres with urgent pop hooks and dischordant structures. After several regional and national tours Severin called it quits in late 1993.
Alec Bourgeois fronted The Capitol City Dusters from 1995-2003. He still lives in Washington, DC with his family and is currently playing in DIAMINE, who will release their debut album in late 2024.
Mark Haggery continues to play with his childhood pals in Gray Matter when they gather, usually to celebrate drummer Dante Ferrando's Black Cat anniversaries. He lives in New Jersey with his partner, Kristin, and is rumored to be in a killer surf band!
Eugene Bogan lives in Ontario, Canada and has two daughetrs in college.
Alex Daniels is a journalist who lives with his family just outside Washington, DC.
