Blacklisted

This is a well-produced collection of brutal and heavy hardcore from Philadelphia’s unstoppable Blacklisted. The disc contains the previously out-of-print Our Youth Is Wasted recordings together with their hard-to-find demos. For those who already know them, you’ll know what high standards to expect here. If you’re new to the band, this release serves as a perfect introduction. The first track hits your ears like a sonic slap and you’ll be hooked throughout the nine tracks to follow. This is hardcore at its best — original-sounding and full of heart.
