Yes, at last the long time quest for Verbal Assault is complete. Needless to state again the density of classic zer that we have here. The early basic hardcore stuff (Learn) sounds a lot like early Uniform Choice, or Minor Threat. Good, good, good, but I've always been much more excited by the later, more mature releases: Trial, On etc. are simply fantastic records. They deliver this succulent haunting that comes with the slower paces and the more rocking metallic riffing that is not unlike Bad Brains' Quickness or Underdog. Infused with this cosmic Fugazi influence, they reach the Himalayan-height class of gigazer brilliance. Also, I need to underline that FOR ONCE this amazing music is not wasted by childish lyrics, unlike 99% of hardcore bands who can only regurgitate binary hippie slogans, the so-called "political lyrics" (basically: the rich are assholes and corporations suck - oh but I need a new smartphone). The 80s will always win!
NB: the 1st CD contains Trial, Tiny Giants, On and Exit. The other CD contains the Masses demo and Learn, obviously, not some reunion rerecordings, unfortunately.

  2. Thank you for posting music that engages critical thought processes. The longer punk remains in self-retarded-storage poseur posture, calling the mixed economy model capitalism instead of socialism, the greater the army of useless eaters grows. It's nice to study a band's craft which bears evidence of valid philosophical pursuit over years. Despite the excuses aging punk bands seek shelter in, their deceit and endless conceit eats them alive. Even Forrest Gump knew that stupid is as stupid does. The silence of punk on Obama is damning.

    2. It means my allocated bandwidth on OpenDrive has been exceeded due to massive downloads. Wait until it resets (see countdown on the right).
