hostage records. hr 008 / 3 tracks / 1998
650 made. First 350 on black vinyl (approx. 20 have bullet hole cover with multicolor printing), next 300 on green vinyl. + lyric sheet.
Rough and fast hardcore punk that is a little more on the hardcore side than most Hostage releases; but all is well, the band never forgets about its LA beach punk roots, and there are melodies, too. The label claims “CH3 meets China White”, and that’s not too far from the truth. Good record, although not as memorable as other 7”s from this label. [7]
Schneller und rauher Hardcore-Punk, etwas hardcoriger als die üblichen Hostage-Releases. Trotzdem vergisst die Band ihre melodischen LA-Beach-Punk-Wurzeln nicht. Das Label nennt das „CH3 meets China White“, und das kommt ungefähr hin. Ordentliche EP, wenn auch sicher nicht die beste Hostage-Single.
