Better Never — ...ever 7"

I don't really know too much about this 7". Chris got a couple of them sent to him as some sort of a promotion, and passed them out to some others of us. Basically, it's some fast, fun, oldschool hardcore. I don't say 'oldschool' too often, but this definitely is. It has an older vibe from most bands today, but its not pure 80's style either. This rip is kind of bass heavy, but still sounds pretty good. Check it out.

Better Never — ...ever

Track Listing:
  1. Human Shield
  2. Lone Wolf
  3. Check
  4. Last Dream
From what I've been able to find, this was more of a project than a band. It was started by two dudes in their 30s, both from Flint, Michigan, who met up in DC in 2006. Long story short, they called more dudes and laid down these tracks, without ever even practicing. I'm not entirely sure who was involved or to what extent, but it includes (former) members of Negative Approach, Dag Nasty, Swiz, Gallows, Frodus, and Battery, to name a few. Seriously, it seems like everyone on here, even just doing backup vocals, has been around the block. The cover was even done by some famous cartoonist. As far as I can tell, though, all they did was record this 7", and never even played a show.
