J: dea. 008 / 6 tracks / 1999 (?)

BTAT feat. Ray Cappo (ex-Youth of Today/Shelter). 1000 made, hand numbered on the back sleeve. White vinyl (my copy has some black veins), blue vinyl, maybe other colors.

Japanese tour double EP with BTAT (great tough & fast SE hardcore, more in the YOT vein but with some melodic Shelter influence) and two of the support bands, 28 Days from Australia and FOC from Japan who both play good & fast SE core. I really like this, especially for the cool BTAT tracks (that are both taken from the album, though). [7]

Japanische Tour-Doppelsingle gemeinsam mit zwei Support Acts: 28 Days (Australien) und FOC (Japan). Die BTAT-Tracks sind alle gut, hart und schnell - näher an Youth of Today, aber mit einem melodischen Shelter-Einschlag. Die anderen Bands spielen beide knalligen SE-Hardcore, dem man die einschlägigen Vorbilder zwar anhört, der aber trotzdem druck- & kraftvoll ist. Gefällt mir insgesamt sehr gut.

Tracks: Better than a Thousand - demand independence / power within // Face of Change - one day /// Better than a Thousand - // 28 Days - ball of hate
