CURSED - "A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE TO CURSED" 8-TRACK (2020).

A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE TO CURSED 8-TRACK

(got mine in the mail today. it's pretty fuckin' tight.)

90: ANTHEM EIGHTY EIGHT.

These guys put a proper twist on their version of hardcore, & when your pedigree comes from bands like ASSÜCK, you know it's gonna be powerful, unique & an instant classic (even if Daryl Kahan wasn't part of the lineup).

So glad these guys didn't go the "rich white-boy youth crew jock-laden prison sex orgy" route!

86: PALE CREATION.

For my money, this was the best band of that whole Meathead Cleveland HC Scene.
Creepy Hardcore w/ a tinge of metal to it. One foot in & one foot out.
And that's fuckin' alright with me.

They weren't trying to be anything they weren't - they were just a fucking kickass (& unique-sounding) band in a dirty pond full of wannabe tuff-guy clones.

85: STRONG INTENTION - "DISGRACE TO THE CORPSE OF HARDCORE 1997-2001" (2002) .
