Vinyl debut by the band that helped to establish a new generation of hardcore (and put Dekalb, IL, on the hardcore map…). Great fast, noisy and somewhat goofy hardcore, imagine a blend of Neos & Infest. I like their LP even better, but this is a mini classic. [8]

Vinyldebut der Band, die das Nest Dekalb in Illinois in der (Hardcore-)Welt berühmt machte und nebenher mithalf, den etwas ermatteten Hardcore der frühen 90er rundzuerneuern. Schneller, krachiger und manchmal auch witziger Hardcore, irgendwo zwischen Infest und Neos. Die LP gefällt mir noch besser, ansonsten ein Mini-Klassiker.
