toxic shock. txlp-13 / 1988

+ lyric sheet and label catalog. Produced by Paul Mahern (Zero Boys).

Complex, jazzy hardcore in the tradition of bands like Nomeansno or Victims Family. Th'Inbred weren't just bandwagon jumpers - they might have been largely forgotten, even by hardcore historians, but they were co-pioneers of that sound. Hectic, sophisticated hardcore, powerful and expertly played. Un-catchy, challenging music, maybe, but definitely no unlistenable art crap. [7]

Komplexer Jazz-Hardcore im Stil von Nomeansno oder Victims Family. Die Inbred waren aber keine Trittbrettfahrer, sondern haben diesen Stil mitentwickelt - auch wenn sich heute kaum noch jemand an sie erinnert. Hektischer, ausgefeilte Musik, exzellent gespielt und trotz aller Kunstfertigkeit noch mit der Energie des Hardcore. Schwierig, anspruchsvoll, aber definitiv kein nerviger Art-Schrott.

Tracks: exercise #4 - plain speaking / in the woods / toys are us / baby lets play exile / piss test / eleven four / exercise #6 (dave) / caption action / too much hardcore for breakfast / big brothers li'l brother / the elite / ten years after / walk this way (to the crack)
