daegor Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) We have/had threads for TnA, but those are pretty dead now, so how about the next best thing? Most of us were introduced to Mr Yacyshyn through Baptists or Sumac, but he's been in a billion other bands (possibly literally). New music (that I'm interested in) has been slow since the turn of the new year, and I usually take times like this to dive into a musician that I maybe know from X band and see what else they've done. I'll do my best to keep this OP up to date with whatever people post. Note that his Discogs page is no where near complete. The most complete source of his credits seems to be his Facebook page via him posting about projects he's worked on. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this or am missing anything. Anyway, here it goes: Baptists Drums on all recorded works to date Vinyl released for everything except their digital only Nirvana cover (https://baptists.bandcamp.com/track/tourettes) Sumac Drums on all recorded works to date Vinyl released for everything Hard Feelings Drums on Welwyn Street Digital only: https://hardfeelings.bandcamp.com/album/welwyn-street Inhaler Drums on S/T Digital only: https://inhalervideotapes.bandcamp.com/ The Armed Drums on Untitled Available on vinyl here: http://shop.norestuntilruin.com/product/the-armed-untitled-lp-pre-order Erosion Guitars on all recorded works to date 'Kill Us All' was released on cassette (out of print) (https://erosion.bandcamp.com/) A Textbook Tragedy Drums on all recorded works to date CD/digital only except for a 7" split: http://www.discogs.com/A-Textbook-Tragedy-Arusha-Accord-A-Textbook-Tragedy-The-Arusha-Accord/release/3053419 Rotting Hills Nick is one of four (yes, four) drummers in this band: https://rottinghills.bandcamp.com/ The Blood River Band Country-ish band Nick plays drums in: https://thebloodriverband.bandcamp.com/ Edited June 10, 2016 by daegor AllFuzzedOut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Nick is one of greatest drummers and nicest "dude in band that I like" that I have ever met. I can't wait for more Baptists and Sumac #2. I need to listen to his other bands. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Obligatory video (this is what Grohl was referring to/put him on the map): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 (I wish we could imbed Bandcamp!) https://inhalervideotapes.bandcamp.com/track/fresh-cut-cedar Listened to this album today on the way to work, it rips! On to The Armed next I think... Also, does anyone know what band/musician this was for? https://www.facebook.com/nickyacyshyndrums/photos/a.541252962656726.1073741827.532118536903502/798822263566460/?type=3 'Gordon Smith' is a little on the common side to search for, haha Pretty sure it's The Blood River Band, see OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylekrische Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It's drum skill on a level I've never seen before and likely never will again. So technically proficient and innovative yet with so much style and personality. Truly an insane feat to accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm pretty sure the list of bands is complete now? If anyone knows anything I'm missing, or guest spots he's been on, etc, let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 So The Armed LP is wicked, definitely some of Nick's strongest drumming. Sonically they're like really fast hardcore? but weird? Next up, Rotting Hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Rotting Hills is some good, crushing, Doom. Pretty different from everything else so far. They scored this live a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was corrected by the band, the only Hard Feelings release Nick plays on is the Welwyn Street EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grid_stopper Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 i feel really lucky to live in the same city as him. great dude, great-er drummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Listened to Welwyn St, much more laid back than the rest, fun punky hard rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I was first introduced to him with A Textbook Tragedy (RIP, these guys ruled) and then in Baptists. I'll have to check out all his other stuff. Thanks. I think this is my favourite TXBK song. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 I was first introduced to him with A Textbook Tragedy (RIP, these guys ruled) and then in Baptists. I'll have to check out all his other stuff. Thanks. I think this is my favourite TXBK song. Working my way to A Textbook Tragedy now, finished the first album. Very cool stuff, pretty raw (sounds like your favourite local metal band), but super jazzy. Think The Dillinger Escape Plan but a little less chaotic and a little more jazz. Given the jazz elements, Nick is in full form: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Back on the horse, checking out Erosion and The Blood River Band next (even though I'm sure the latter is not my cup of tea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
