Here's a hot slab of raging incendiary RVA HC for ya'll from back in the day - it's got a member of White Cross within it's ranks, so if you know anything about first-genration US HC, you'll know what you're dealing with here as this apple didn't fall far from the tree...

ReplyDeleteDAM LO-RES - I WAS ONLY LISTENING TO THE WHITE CROSS EP YESTERDAY, STOPPED BY TODAY FROM THE HELL CRUST BLOG AND WHAT DO I FIND YOU HAVE BEEN UP TO NEXT?
ReplyDeleteYOU ROCK - CHEERS FOR THIS, NO IDEA IT EXISTED!
Glad you dig it! I always considered White Cross an underrated / unloved band beyond a handful of U.S. regions, and this band got even less respect.
ReplyDeleteThere is a nice discography that came out a while back, look around for it.
Also thanks for always stopping and leaving a comment!
Those are few & far in between these days around here...
Great stuff, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this---I ordered this record in ''85/86? and never got it...I think the band was in the midst of a bad breakup and the record never got repressed...I finally picked up the repress....over twenty years later...thanks again Jason and keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, DangerClose...
ReplyDeleteRVA bands of that era that also kicked ass were Death Piggy and Honor Role.
ReplyDeleteKeep bringing me back to the glory when the world was opened up for me to enjoy, when all that was on the surface being fed to me was shit.
You should hook me up w/ some Death Piggy. Isn't that a Michael from Gwar band?
ReplyDeleteunfortunately sold my 7 inches and LPs during my lowest points. I think Dave was also in Death Piggy. I would love to hear that again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I saw this band in Olympia, WA back in October of '86 (on a bill that included 7Seconds and the Melvins). A friend of mine had this album and I always liked it. Haven't heard it in 25 years, so it'll be nice to re-visit.
