Count Me Out, Crucial Response Records, Desperate Measures, Faded Grey, Go Time, Striking Distance, Time Flies, True Blue
What a week! I had car issues earlier in this week that nearly led me to wrecking my car, so there was a lot of nonsense about getting it fixed, paying for that, etc. I was really glad this show was right across town (literally down the street from the high school we all attended and that I would later work at for years). The big draw was True Blue, but Count Me Out and Time Flies had become two of the bigger bands in hardcore during this time. I don’t remember much about Desperate Measures. Isn’t someone from that…

Iron Age The Way Is Narrow EP Painkiller Records Iron Age, featuring former members of Far From Breaking and Desperate Measures, continue to put out excellent metallic hardcore similar to Leeway, The Icemen, and early Metallica. Side A is a new song that evolves further from their debut LP, getting heavier and more urgent like Leeway. Side B is a fantastic cover of Flower Travellin Band’s song Satori Part One. That was a nice surprise and very well done.

Iron Age Butcher’s Bill 7″ Lockin Out Records Three new ones that I believe are going to be on their next record. These continue in the same vein as their excellent LP Constant Struggle. The Icemen, early Metallica, and Burn are definite reference points here. I just hope the metal influences don’t overwhelm them. Members of this band were in Far From Breaking and Desperate Measures, but this is far from that sound.

Anthony did this one for Fuck Rock Fanzine. I didn’t even know this interview existed until he sent it to me a few months ago. Actually, I don’t think I’ve even heard Damage II before. I know I saw the first Damage once and they had a bunch of songs with Simpsons themed names which was pretty cool. Thanks again for taking time out to do the interview. How are things going with Damage II? Are the upcoming west coast dates coming together? Damage II is going real well, things are moving a little slow, but we’re still getting somewhere.…
