Scream

Dave Grohl's hardcore punk band before Nirvana.

Scream is an American hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C., formed in 1981 in Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia, by singer Pete Stahl, his brother Franz Stahl on guitar, bassist Skeeter Thompson and drummer Kent Stax. After the third album, Banging the Drum, Stax left and was replaced by the 17-year-old Dave Grohl, who lied about his age to tour with the band and recorded their fourth album, No More Censorship. When Scream broke up, Grohl moved to Seattle to play drums for Nirvana. Franz Stahl later joined Grohl's Foo Fighters in 1997 for a two-year stint, replacing Pat Smear, and Pete Stahl worked as a road manager for Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.
