Tension “Agent Of The People” vinyl LP and Compact Disc, two things need to be told about this record. Firstly the objective part of the record and music, secondly the subjective part or the way I think about it.
The record was released through Uprising Records in the year 1996. The band Tension was from the Hardcore scene in Florida, as were Strongarm, Morning Again and Culture. Tension were a Straight-Edge band and they played a more traditional Hardcore sound, not the metallic kind.
The cover goes well with the orange and black vinyl this vinyl was pressed on. The backside photo shows the band playing with no stage and no obstacle between the band and the audience, all very traditionally Hardcore. Also the intensity of the performance shows on the photo. Look at the singer on his knees and the people from the audience with clenched fists and keeping an eye out.
Personally I think this record sounds great, angry and interesting. Glad I have it, should have discovered it earlier. Sounds really intense.
The label Uprising Records also released other bands like the Vegan Reich discography vinyl 10 inch and the Ceremony Of Fire compilation LP/CD.
