I'll be honest, when I bought this I had no idea what I was getting. At the time my knowledge of hardcore from outside the US was limited pretty much to just a few of the bigger bands from Europe. In retrospect this may have been one of the best scores I've ever made considering I got this for 99 cents plus 2 dollars shipping if my memory serves me correctly. All I knew when I placed the bid was that it was a cheap record from a label I'd heard a few people mention before.

Before I even mention who is in this band I want to make one thing 100% clear, the music holds its own regardless of the band's pedigree. The B side is definitely superior, but mostly because its extended intro is more to the point. The vocals might take some getting used to if you're not already a fan of the style. But, my God, the guitar riffs and the bass are over the top good.

Now for the part I would be remiss not to mention. Pill, the drummer and vocalist was the drummer for Lip Cream, G-Zet, Asylum, and High Rise, as well as the vocalist for G-Zet and キャ→ (Kyah→). Bass player Tomonori Iizawa was the bassist for Bastard and Judgement and guitar player for Buzzy大和町バンド (Buzzy Yamatocho Band). And Chelsea (RIP), it'd probably be easier to just list bands he wasn't in.

I must say, it warms my heart a little when I think about relations between the US and Japan over the last several decades. Considering the awful shit that went down between our nations it's a wonder we don't hate each other. Whenever I see a band from Japan playing in America everyone around me is always super excited they made the trip. I imagine the feeling in Japan is very similar when our bands play over there. With broken Japanese and broken English I've had the privilege to communicate with a few dudes touring the country from Japan and have been left with the impression that their respect and excitement about our hardcore is just as great as ours for theirs.

Anyways, enough sentimental talk. This here is a compilation of Japanese and American crusty hardcore. Real great stuff. Kinda the same deal as the next post, Sound Pollution in the states and MCR Company in Japan.
