Chain of Strength - "True Till Death" EP

This is probably my favorite youth crew 7" ever... Great powerful and emotional straight edge hardcore. This record is also great for drunken singalongs about making the right choices in life! This is Chain of Strength's first record release, and it's super raw sounding, which is one of the reasons I really like it.

Appendix EP



Side A
1. Huora
2. Eliittipiiri

Side B
3. Painajainen
4. Tää On Mun Oma Sota

Appendix EP

First EP by Appendix. Some refer to this as the "Huora" EP. Very powerful and thick ripping Finnish hardcore. This band influenced a lot of bands in Scandinavia and all across the world. I used to be obsessed with Scandinavian hardcore when I was younger and this is just as great today! It has that very distinct Finnish hardcore sound.

Damage - "Sins of Our Fathers"

New York band playing ripping fast aggressive hardcore. Completely overlooked and underappreciated, probably because they were very different than most NYHC. I'd almost call it a more foreign hardcore sound. Recorded in 1984.
