I've been digging into late '80s Rev releases, and so far, Side by Side, Supertouch, and Judge are the bands I've liked enough to listen further.

The first BAD TRIP 7" is in the GB vein but after that they went in a more 'rock' direction

OK here goes:
GB - Start Today is definitely ONE of the gold standards for melodic HC. Walter Schreifels is just a good songwriter - straight up. Your comparison to Dag / 7 Seconds is spot on
Underdog - Listen to drew, another great band. Scream mixed with Bad Brains or something? I actually am in the minority that prefers the LP to the demos, but it's all great.
Youth of Today - Honestly, their last album "We're Not In This Alone", if you can find an original mix....is just super fast, raw and pissed. The version on Spotify/Apple/iTunes/etc. is a remix and sounds a bit too clean.
I'll think of some more.

I don't. Ha. Not a terrible album. But nowhere near as great as GB. Although I have no idea why, as it was the same main dudes. But in any case, GB saved their legacy to 100% awesome by changing the name of the band for the Civ thing. Or, 99.9%, as I didn't like that one new song they put up online a few years ago.

Also there is a Start Today recording with Walter singing the whole record which sounds even more like 7 Seconds with Walter's vocals.

I *still* make fun of that era, when all those bands were doing that pathetic half assed, honky hip hop swagger. Remember that aside on the Warzone album? 'He out getting the warzone women, yo. WORD!'
