Sleeping Body / Voice of Reason / Suiciety "1992."

About this item

In 1992, three Texas hardcore bands exploded onto the Dallas/Ft. Worth punk scene. Sharing a love of politically charged underground music and a desire to change the world, Sleeping Body, Voice of Reason, and Suiciety quickly became friends, and in a united front, launched a sonic barrage of socially conscious, emotionally driven, Texas hardcore music to challenge the status quo. The three bands released numerous 7” records and toured throughout the US, playing NYC's ABC No Rio, 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, and just about every punk club, basement, and house party in between. Their chaotic and rabble-rousing live performances quickly became legendary. And then, as quickly as they came onto the scene, these three bands disappeared. This 3xLP set combines the classic and long out-of-print 7"s each band left in their wake, along with demos, live recordings, and unreleased studio material that have been unavailable until now. This retrospective release captures a small bit of the bands' energy in the form of collected tracks, photos, and flyer images in a triple gatefold sleeve. Having shared stages and ideals with more long-lasting bands such as Rorschach, DropDead, Born Against, Heroin, Downcast, Universal Order of Armageddon, and Econochrist, these three bands, bonded by a sense of friendship and a DIY attitude, created an indelible mark on hardcore that reflects the optimism and angst of that explosive year: 1992.
