Neon Christ!
For the first US band on this site, you get a real winner. If you were to pick a year and a place for excellent US hardcore, '83 in Atlanta, Georgia probably wouldn't come to mind. but here we find ourselves...Atlanta's Neon Christ put out a handful of songs during their original 3 year length of existence and I'll be damned if they aren't some of the best hardcore songs ever written. Wicked fast and urgent songwriting gets occasionally sidetracked by weird breaks, and hazy moments of introspection...but WAIT!!! the match of furious hardcore and melodic experimentation makes their stuff unique as hell and gives a timeless feel. I always listen to this 7" all the way through, it just works as a complete thing to my ears. This is the first record, the Parental Suppression 7" and you simply need to know it.
