THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE VIOLATIONS BUREAU

 

Grant gifted me this capsule of (mostly) Milwaukee 1990s DIY hardcore near the end of 2021, and I got a little giddy just holding it...and that was before I realized that the ANIMAL FARM doesn't appear to be released anywhere else. That was before I heard the 'where is the god?!' chorus in HINGE's "Psalm." That was before I heard the anguished metallic screamo of REHASH or the experimental mindfuckery of EAR for the first time. Rest assured that the smile on my face and the wonder in me eyes (ears) only grew as I listened, hearing GORDY (two tracks from their demo), MORAL DISGUST and one cut from Ohio's NIMRODS thrown in the mix just to keep you on your toes. Yeah, after all that I was walking on fucking clouds.
