Original Montana Hardcore Featuring Jeff Ament and Bruce Fairweather of Green River. Here's Jeff's account: Deranged Diction, Montana’s First Hardcore Band Missoula, Montana, 1981-83. Jon Donahue and I met Bruce Fairweather skateboarding the brick banks at the University of Montana in September of 1981. Within a month, we were rehearsing as Deranged Diction with Bill the drummer, playing songs by Black Flag, 999, the Dead Kennedys, the Ramones and the Clash.
