WARZONE - LOWER EAST SIDE CREW

This is the first ever Revelation Records release and it was also my first ever Revelation (REV) release to put into my collection. Small back-story - Rev was started by Jordan Cooper and Ray Cappo in 1987 in New York. They went on to release the who’s who of the hardcore scene at the time. Over a period of 3 years they had put out over 23 releases, including the first ever Sick of It All release, Judge – Bringing it down LP, Gorilla Biscuits – Start today lp and many more. As this was the first ever release done by Rev, not everything came out perfect. They had to get help from Kevin Seconds who ran Positive Force records and Kane from BYO records. The recording was sent to Kane at BYO records, who also worked in a pressing plant. Kane then mastered the recording and then pressed the record, he certainly pressed the record, but I’m not sure how much work went into mastering the recording!

HAVE HEART - WHAT COUNTS

What Counts as a whole is an absolutely relentless attack on trend-hoppers, greed, and false friends. Their messages are relayed with conviction and sincerity, as portrayed in vocalist Patrick Flynn’s gravelly voice. Although the vocals are relatively unique, Have Heart throw some interesting melodies and time changes into the mix, slightly reminiscent of Youth of Today.

MISFITS - THE LAST SHOW EVER

this was the original misfits LAST SHOW ever, at the greystone in detroit. Download my videos for the earliest misfits video, misfits live 1978 ft. Jerry and Glenn

TERROR - KEEPERS OF THE FAITH

There's no room for interpretation here. This isn't the sound of a hardcore band bending over backwards to appeal to a new audience. These aren't a bunch of guys trying to put in a little something for everyone. There are no games being played and there are no gimmicks being sold. This is Terror doing what they do best; you either get it or you don't.

CHAMPION - PROMISE KEPT

When someone says Straight Edge Hardcore, the glory days of bands like Minor Threat, and Gorilla Biscuits pop in to my head. However that statement is usually followed by someone talking about the newst metallic "Beat you face in if you don't believe what we do" hardcore band. So when one of my friends was rambling on about this band called Champion, and saying they reminded him of Youth of Today, Judge, and other punk influenced hardcore bands, I decided you check them out. After listening to one of their songs on Bridge Nine's website(The label that released "Promises Kept")I decided to pick this album up.

MADBALL - EMPIRE



These guys have been around for a while, and for good reason. Madball play a mix of punk and hardcore that is simple, yet invigorating. Their latest release, Empire, spans sixteen tracks of energy, anger, and inspiration. Madball may not be changing the scene, but that’s partly because they helped build it to begin with. They’ve kept to their style, so if you were ever a fan, Empire won’t disappoint. Among the memorable moments is the anthem-like “Danger Zone”, the rise up “All Or Nothing”, and the engaging title track. Roger Miret makes an appearance with “Shatterproof”, which also becomes an easy favorite. There are other fast songs, of course. “R.A.H.C.” is a quick track about hardcore, “Tough Guy” is a crazy attack of curse words, and “Glory Years” is a solid combination of elements. There may be a lack of variety with this album, but that’s because Madball have chosen to stick with their tried and true formula. If you don’t mind this, then chances are you’ll enjoy Empire for what it is: hardcore. These guys know the genre, and this is album is no exception.
