I try listening to it, but it hurts sometimes. I heard of them as a sprout in NYC, but never saw them play. Fortunately, I saw them at the 2008 reunion and it was amazing. They just played 2 days ago at the El n Gee in New London, CT, and they have a the most unresponsive crowd. I felt bad. I think it was partially the mix as well as there is no listenable collection of their music (for the youngsters who were going nuts for Into Another. Coincidentally, Into Another was a band I never really liked, but they sounded amazing). Hopefully, until now. Let's see. But thanks for sharing nonetheless.elflandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474981863466223665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887130645674254933.post-57553281076568268442012-09-23T16:36:14.803-07:002012-09-23T16:36:14.803-07:00His vocals on the 7" are a HUGE reason why Ab...His vocals on the 7" are a HUGE reason why Absolution has been my favourite hardcore band since I first heard them back in 1989.

And personally, I love Burn way more anyway but I always liked the 7"? (And "Dead and Gone") Never knew that people didn't like it?!? Because of the vocals?!? It's that attitude towards "originality" in HC that has lead us to today where there is almost NONE! And it's because of that attitude that there will NEVER be another Burn, Gorilla Biscuits or probably even, another Maximum Penalty! Because as soon as a band starts singing "lighter" or whatever people just say that they are "selling out", "trying to get over" or whatever... Really sucks... I may have been at this Anthrax show- if I was, it was only my 2nd show! Oh and according to the Anthrax book "Everybody's Scene" this is the wrong date! They have these bands listed that day: Affinity, Scram, 6 Feet Under. Absolution played there on May 6th, 1988 with Life's Blood and Krakdown. But some of the dates in the book are wrong too?

I was never too big into that youth crew/skin stuff so when these guys started to play I was like "oh shit". I think it was the bass player that had a freeking huge speaker set-up. Way to big for the club. The singer did this jump from one side of the stage to the other landing on his knees while still singing. Still got my Absolution tshirt from that show. Never had the heart to through it out. I got to agree with previous poster. They were our Bad Brains.
