This is the first recording by Richmond's Honor Role. It was originally from a split tape with Graven Image, but has since been remastered into its present condition. It sounds sweet, kind of somewhere between
The Landlords and Bad Brains with both raucous 80s speed and irony.
Shin Kick even covered I'm A Nerd like every show we ever played ever. This is important, check it out.

Honor Role were a surprisingly influential band from Richmond in the 1980s. They started off as pretty straight-forward hardcore of the day, but over the years turned into one of the first post-hardcore bands and hung out with Fugazi a lot. Their sound has changed hardcore in many ways, both their frantic early efforts, and their artier later work.
