Stabbed in the Back
I’ll say this for this record, it’s short. The length would qualify as an ep but it’s not, because their songs are rapid fire little punk explosions.
My connection to this genre dissolved decades ago and, you know what? It doesn’t really hold up. Not for me, at least.
It always surprised me just how angry the straight edge bands were. They were so indignant about the “positivity” in their lives. But they all sounded like they wanted to rip your mother’s eyeballs from their sockets and force your dad to…well, you get the idea. Clean living!
It’s solid hardcore, played really well, calling to mind Suicidal Tendencies or an amped up Black Flag. Better than the latter, not as impactive as the former.
