From Akron, OH. I unjustly bashed this EP in an earlier review, but it is one of those records that have aged pretty well. Fast trashy hardcore with a garagey production; noisy, a bit amateurish and nothing too special (especially if you compare it to the real classics that came out in the early/mid 1980s), but there is a raw, violent anger and a passion that seems to have vanished with the hardcore bands of the early 80s.
