I watched American Hardcore for the first time and just thought "they were black?" That's really fucking crazy. Sitting in Eric Stempel or whoever's room, listening to the album in 1987 after getting them to stop with the Dag Nasty or the Circle Jerks, how would you know that? And hell if I knew that they were real musicians and just idolized by the rest of the hardcore scene.
This is nice hardcore, everything it should be: melodic, sincere, fast and driving. With the whole band getting to shout a word now and again.
Don't fear the dirty title of the song; the lyrics are unintelligible like much good hardcore.
The original release doesn't appear to be widely available. Here's my favorite of the second generationals:
RATING: 78.
