Read more: Judge bringin’ it down on purpleI’m so happy to be able to pick this one up finally. For many just a repress by Revelation.

I’m Into Another
Read more: I’m Into AnotherIndeed it happens now and then. I catch myself being too much into another so that I get confused at times as to who I really am. This admiration of or interest in other persons is quite human, I know. But collecting and listening to music can trigger this human asset. Maybe this explains why…

Read more: 25 Ta Life self-titled 7 inchAnother NYHC band from the nineties is 25 Ta Life. Back then they delivered a breed of Hardcore that was popular here in Belgium, but also in France.
