Long before his killer harmonies with Jerry Cantrell in Alice in Chains, William DuVall did what many teens do and played in a punk band. And for Record Store Day this year, fans of the AIC co-vocalist will get to hear some of his early work playing in the hardcore punk outfit Neon Christ when their
1984 compilation gets a reissue.
The 14-song set features material written by DuVall during the titular year when he was just 16. Ten of the tracks previously appeared on the Atlanta-based self-titled 7 vinyl EP Neon Christ. The remaining tracks were recorded later that same year.
Neon Christ was actually DuVall s second band after initially playing with Awareness Void of Chaos. He served as the guitarist in the group, with Randy DuTeau handling the vocals. The rest of the band included drummer Jimmy Demer and bassist Danny Lankford. But this was no high school garage band, as Neon Christ actually shared stages with Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks and other acts of note in the punk scene
