[edit] Soulstorm

An early 90's Milwaukee Hardcore scene fixture with straight-edge leanings & appeal. Their predominant influences seemed to vary from west coast, youth crew style ala Insted, to the classic chunky NYC HC sound. However, their sound occasionally dabbled into endearingly sloppy, amateur, funky territory as indicated in "Street Creep Freak." Soulstorm became famous in the Milwaukee Hardcore scene for their prominent "Hit Squad" association and their "Hit Squad Creep Time", shout outs/breakdowns at their live shows, which would always rev up their core fanbase & the early 90's Milwaukee hardcore/straight-edge faction known as "The Hit Squad (1989-1993)."

Jaime Farley has gone on to currently make a living blowing glass art in the Milwaukee area.

Former guitarist Tim Riesig & his brother/former drummer Bill Riesig still currently reside in the Milwaukee area as well.

[edit] Line-up:

  • Vocals: Jaime Farley
  • Bass: Tony Paletti (1989-1991)

  • When I first saw/met these guys, James Taylor was playing trumpet for them as well. Tim and his brother and Tony Paletti were also founding members of Codebreaker (who were basically still a hardcore band when they started!) --> http://www.pcmdusa.com/CodeOld
