INVERTEBRATES - "Sick To Survive" 12"EP
A couple years back in Richmond, VA, a group known as Invertebrates emerged from the river sludge, dropping an absolutely scorching demo and promo tape in conjunction with the pulverizing of many a gig audience fortunate enough to witness them. Featuring a handful of tunes from those aforementioned tapes that many have surely worn out by now, "Sick To Survive" is ten tracks of perfectly executed, 45-RPM-on-a-12"-style hardcore punk - meaning that while it doesn't overstay it's welcome, you will be left with a few sonic-rage induced lumps as a reminder of the time spent together. Each record comes with a huge, fold-out, newsprint poster designed by singer Max Mattoon.
