The Profile

Deep Wound was an American hardcore punk band active in the early 1980s, featuring J Mascis and Lou Barlow before Dinosaur Jr, along with Scott Helland and Charlie Nakajima.

Formed in the early 1980s in the Boston-area scene; lineup included J Mascis (drums), Lou Barlow (guitar), Scott Helland (bass), and Charlie Nakajima (vocals). Known for extremely fast, raw hardcore leaning toward thrashcore. Released a self-titled EP in 1983 and recorded a 1982 demo. Mascis later formed Dinosaur Jr; Barlow went on to Dinosaur Jr and Sebadoh.

A positive look at Deep Wound’s blistering early-’80s hardcore: ferocious speed, raw recording, and hints of thrashcore. Highlights include the 1983 EP and a 1982 demo. The review notes J Mascis on drums and Lou Barlow on guitar, alongside Scott Helland and Charlie Nakajima. A noisy, tense, and ruthless document of the Boston-area scene.
