wishingwell records. ww 3 / 14 tracks / 1986

1st pressing has a poster, yellow logo on front sleeve and full-size band photo on back sleeve; 2nd press: green logo on front cover, four small photos on back. The two front sleeves have different drawings of the same photo. Records are the same. 500 made on green vinyl, unknown number on red vinyl and pink vinyl (only 10?). 100 made on marbled vinyl (show giveaway).

The debut LP by these ex-Unity people is a West Coast straight edge classic, fast & honest hardcore, influenced by first generation sXe bands like Minor Threat or the XClaim bands rather than the early Revelation bands. Lots of energy and power, very good. [8]  

Eine der ersten West-Coast-SE-Bands mit ihrer ersten LP, die auch auf Anhieb zum Klassiker geworden ist. Schneller, ehrlicher SE-HC, der sich eher an den frühen Vorbildern wie Minor Threat oder den X-Claim-Bands wie DYS orientiert. Insgesamt sehr gut, die Musik ist zwar nicht immer frei von Stereotypen, aber Energie und Schwung der Band machen das locker wett. Sehr gut.

Tracks: use your head / my own mind / straight and alert / build to break / scream to say / once i cry / sometimes // screaming for change / no thanks / a choice / big man, small mind / don’t quit / in time / silenced
