Do or Die (Super Furry Animals song)
" Do or Die" is the eleventh single by Super Furry Animals.
It was the third and final single to be taken from the" Guerrilla" album and was the band's last release for Creation Records.
The track reached number 20 in the UK Singles Chart after its release on 17 January 2000.
The group had originally wanted to release" Wherever I Lay My Phone( That's My Home)" as the final single from" Guerilla" but Creation instead chose" Do or Die", a decision which the band claimed not to understand.
Although" Do or Die" features" daft lyrics", its name was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's Quit India speech which called for Indians to" Do or Die" to end British Imperial rule in the country.
Critical reaction was largely positive with the song being named' Single of the Week' by the" Melody Maker" and appearing at number 55 in the" NME"'s single of the year list for 2000 despite an earlier claim by the magazine that there was" no need whatsoever" to release the track as a single.
The music video for" Do or Die" was directed by Jake& Jim and features live action footage of the group's heads on brightly coloured cartoon bodies.
Embrace (American band)
Embrace were a short- lived hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C., which lasted from the summer of 1985 to the spring of 1986.
Along with Rites of Spring, and Beefeater, it was one of the mainstay acts of the 1985 Revolution Summer movement, and was one of the first bands to be dubbed in the press as emotional hardcore, though the members had rejected the term since its creation.
The band included lead vocalist Ian MacKaye of the defunct hardcore punk act Minor Threat and three former members of his brother Alec's band, the Faith: guitarist Michael Hampton, drummer Ivor Hanson, and bassist Chris Bald.
Hampton and Hanson had also previously played together in S.O.A.
The band played their first show in July 28, 1985 at Food for Thought, a former restaurant and music venue located on Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle; their ninth and final show was held at the in March 1986.
The only recording released by the quartet was their posthumous 1987 self- titled album," Embrace", being influenced by the Faith EP" Subject to Change".
Following the breakup of Embrace, MacKaye and ex- Minor Threat drummer, Jeff Nelson, tried turning their recent one- off musical experiment in England, dubbed" Egg Hunt", into an actual band, but the project never surpassed the rehearsal stage.
Hampton, for his part, teamed up with former members of Rites of Spring to form the short- lived post -hardcore outfit One Last Wish, while Bald moved on to the band Ignition.
MacKaye eventually directed his energy and creativity toward the forming of Fugazi in 1987, and Ivor Hanson would pair up with Hampton again in 1988 for Manifesto.
During the band's formative years, some fans started referring to them and fellow innovators Rites of Spring as emocore( emotive hardcore) bands, a term MacKaye publicly disagreed with.

Beefeater (band)
Beefeater was an American post- hardcore band from late 1984 until late 1986.
Along with Embrace and Rites of Spring, they were one of the mainstay acts of the 1985 Revolution Summer movement which took place within the Washington, D.C. hardcore punk scene.
They were pioneers of the post -hardcore genre in the mid-1980s with bands like Embrace, Rites of Spring and Gray Matter, among others.
One Last Wish
One Last Wish was a short- lived post- hardcore band from Washington, D.C.
It was formed in May 1986 by members of Rites of Spring, and split up in January 1987.
Amidst the breakup of Rites of Spring in 1986, three of its four members- Picciotto, Janney and Canty- went on to form a new band after picking up Michael Hampton, former guitarist of The Faith and Embrace.
With the name One Last Wish the band began playing shows in August 1986, which were mostly in the D.C. area and included a series of benefit shows.
Their sole recording was done in November 1986 at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA.
It was engineered by Don Zientara and produced by Ian MacKaye.
After the dissolution of the band, both Canty and Picciotto would join MacKaye in the band Fugazi.
One Last Wish broke up shortly after mixing was completed, and as a result the album was not released until 13 years later in November 1999, on MacKaye's Dischord Records label; Dischord had decided against the release in light of their growing reputation as a label of defunct bands.
Prior to the release of this record, titled" 1986", only one song," Burning in the Undertow", had been released, having been on the Dischord benefit sampler" State of the Union"( April 1989).
After the band's breakup, Picciotto, Janney and Canty would reunite with Michael Fellows of Rites of Spring, taking on the new name Happy Go Licky.
Hampton would go on to form the band Manifesto.
Rites of Spring
Rites of Spring was an American post- hardcore band from Washington, D.C., in the mid-1980s, known for their energetic live performances.
Along with Embrace, and Beefeater, they were one of the mainstay acts of the 1985 Revolution Summer movement which took place within the Washington, D.C. hardcore punk scene.
Musically, Rites of Spring increased the frenetic violence and visceral passion of hardcore while simultaneously experimenting with its compositional rules.
Lyrically, they also shifted hardcore into intensely personal realms and, in doing so, are often considered the first emo band but Rites of Spring itself rejected any association between themselves and emo genres.
The band only performed around 15 shows in the DC area.
Vocalist/ guitarist Guy Picciotto and drummer Brendan Canty went on to play in Fugazi with producer and former Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye in the late 1980s, while bassist Mike Fellows formed Mighty Flashlight and has had a solo career.
Treble (musical group)
