There Goes The Neighborhood

So I have been on a huge Chronic Sick kick lately. If you don't know who that is, they are/were a hardcore/punk band from New Jersey. They released 2 eps on Mutha records in the early 80's and they are both scorchers. Amazing musicianship, amazingly catchy songs, hooks galore, these records have it all. Not every song is a winner, but even the bad ones are better than a lot of stuff that came out at that time. Some people are put off by the use of swastikas and the lyrical content (subjects range from racism and rape to having VD), but relax, it is all in jest. You can easily find copies of these 2 records online for download and I would highly recommend that you do. They also reissued their Cutest Band In Hardcore ep recently, and I believe there is another record or 2 out there, otherwise, the originals can fetch up to $1,500 on ebay.
