sorry state. #2 / 11 tracks / 2006

First press on black and limited clear (200 made); second press on black and limited blue vinyl.

An unreleased Koro 12”, recorded shortly after the 7” but never released due to the usual lack of money. If you forget about the 7” for a moment, this is fast and noisy old school hardcore, cool stuff which is definitely worth spending your bucks on. Sure, the sound quality isn't perfect, and there are a few dropouts here and there, but hey, this is punk rock. If you factor in the 7”, though, things look dramatically different; these recordings just don't have the frantic, over-the-top energy of the 700 Club EP (and they're a bit slower, too). Well, still worth getting. [7]

Ein unveröffentlichtes Koro-Demo, kurz nach ihrer 7” aufgenommen. Wenn man die 7” mal eben vergisst, ist das schneller, krachiger “old school”-Hardcore, tolle Musik und in jedem Fall den Kauf wert (die leichten Soundprobleme sind nicht so gravierend). Im Vergleich zur 7” ist das allerdings nur ein müder Abklatsch; die rasende, überdrehte Energie der EP ist ihnen irgendwo verlorengegangen. Naja, trotz allem eine gute Platte.

Tracks: government / james hood / koro / acid casualty / hello mom and dad! / 700 club / selfless / mommy wants to know / society girl / 1st church / feelin' pretty minimal
