I don't get the opportunity to upload full-lengths too often, so this is pretty exciting. The story behind this LP is that only 500 were originally pressed, the first 75 hand-stenciled and released at their last show. Because it came out as the band was breaking up, it never really got that much recognition, although it certainly deserves it. To me this has a definite ring of late-90's Youth Crew revival, but takes it well beyond that, maybe sort of in the same direction as Carry On or even In My Eyes. There's a marked measure of restraint involved; listen to the groove they hit about 10 seconds in and you'll see what I mean. Shit's tight. Lyrics swing between the personally redemptive and the DC political, which is pretty cool; I wish more bands had this kind of variability. Sound quality is as good as anything I've got on here, plus there's a Teen Idles cover, which you don't see too often. Really solid jams.
