hostage records. 002 / 3 tracks / 1997
2000 made on red and gold vinyl (1000 each), numbered on labels.
Unity hardcore from Orange County on Hostage Records; a somewhat strange pairing, even more so since the typically moshy straight edge music gets the melodic OC Punk treatment, production-wise, with the singer mixed all the way to the front and the guitars having that Adolescents-style sound. I don't know, this is powerful and fast and all, but something just doesn't fit. [6]
Orange-County-Unity-Hardcore auf Hostage; etwas merkwürdig ist die Mischung schon, vor allem, weil der moshige Straight-Edge-Sound auf eine voluminöse Punkrock-Produktion trifft, die eigentlich besser für melodischen Beachpunk geeignet ist. Hmm, insgesamt hat das Ding schon Power, aber so ganz stimmt die Sache nicht.
