Under-appreciated hardcore bands, Exhibit A.
----
REIVERS were a blip in the Bay Area....I feel like I only saw them a few times and I know none of their recordings (that I have heard) capture their live intensity. Kate as a vocalist was pure power with no qualifiers, and hearing her trade off with Will on this recording gives me chills. The replication is blown to fukk (long-term visitors will note that this can be an endearing quality - power is power and the physical manifestation is real) and these four songs are basically a reminder that tolerance for intolerance is overrated. Sympathetic Shock is a killer record....this tape is pretty damn good too.
