Biography
In 1997 the Washington, D.C. art-punk outfit Durian came together and promptly launched into live shows and studio work, issuing their first album, Tomorrow 6:30, on their own label before the year closed. The five-member lineup—vocalist Matt Hermann, guitarists Kevin Adams and Frank Stewart, bassist/vocalist Cameron Brock, plus drummer Jason Merriman, who was later succeeded by Derek Fricano—spent the balance of the decade sharing stages with groups including the Dismemberment Plan, the Wicked Farleys, and Sweep The Leg Johnny while sustaining a regular recording schedule, working with producer J. Robbins on the 1998 seven-inch Goodwill/Dogtrack whose song subsequently surfaced on the 1999 anthology On Law of Inertia and on the band’s 2000 follow-up album Sometimes You Scare Me.
