Id say Integrity has definitely had more influence on the genre and Cleveland hardcore in general. I just like Ringworm more .
I might have to argue The Hope Conspiracy was a hair better than The Suicide File but that is truly splitting hairs and they are both fantastic.
Also, tangential to hardcore but Mark Palm (Go It Alone, Black Breath, Devotion) is 4/4 with these Supercrush singles. So good. FFO: Teenage Fanclub, Lemonheads, etc
Why didn’t anyone tell me about this band?? Little Acts of Destruction, by Red Hare Ex-members of Swiz and Dag Nasty, released on Dischord, sounds like you’d expect (which is really fkn good)
I'm probably going to include Red Death on this year's release as I didn't get the vinyl for it until March. *shrug* Such a good album tho.
