Pain was an American rock band from Mobile and Tuscaloosa, Alabama that was active between 1994 and 1999. ==History== The main songwriters, Dan Lord and Mark "Pose" Milewicz, grew up in Mobile and graduated from Mcgill Toolen High school in midtown Mobile. Though they did not produced any chart-topping hits, the band enjoyed a semi-mainstream following after touring relentlessly. Pain received a mini-revival when Cartoon Network aired a short two-minute music video set to their song "Jabberjaw (Running Underwater)", featuring the cartoon character of the same name along with "updated" versions of the rest of the show's characters.〔(YouTube.com, "Jabberjaw (Running Underwater)" music video featured on Cartoon Network ) - Retrieved January 6, 2011〕 Pain also received minor mainstream attention through the NBC sitcom ''NewsRadio''. In a number of episodes station engineer Joe Garelli (played by Joe Rogan) can be seen wearing a T-shirt bearing the Pain logo. Pain's sound featured fast-paced lyrics, energetic punk rock rhythms and frequent use of horn instruments. Their lyrical content was often humorous, touching lightly upon such subjects as Dungeons and Dragons as well as Greek and Arthurian legends, often creating entire plots and stories about fictional characters. Despite similarities in instrumentation and sensibility to third wave ska, Pain has expressed resentment towards being labeled as ska, stating a dislike for the genre.〔(Pain official website, archived news for February 2 1997 ) - Retrieved March 6, 2008〕 Pain recorded a version of "The Time Warp" for a ska tribute to ''The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' which was never released. The song is now available on the Pain DVD entitled ''In A Band: The Pain Years 1994-2000''. Although the band has not toured or released an album since 2000, the band's official status is "on hiatus". Considering that Milewicz is currently the dean of University of North Carolina at Pembroke’s Esther G. Maynor Honors College,〔(The University of North Carolina at Pembroke Official Newswire, July 27, 2012 ) - Retrieved October 21, 2013〕 Lord is the Director of Religious Education and Evangelization at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist (Charleston, South Carolina),〔(The Post and Courier, January 20, 2013 ) - retrieved October 21, 2013〕 and the majority of the rest of the band remains in or around Tuscaloosa, any new material seems extremely unlikely. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pain (U.S. band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
