Tied Down Warwound

This one is a semi new release that came out earlier this year. A split 7" of two current UK hardcore bands, Tied Down and Warwound.

I mainly bought this for the Tied Down side. The band features some older dudes from pretty successful UK bands and play music that brings to mind Boston and New York bands from the 80s. This 7" features three new songs from Tied Down, and fortunately there's no change in style from their debut 7" from last year.

The flipside of this 7" features Warwound, a band that I'd never heard of before. I was surprised to find out that they're a really old band that have recently reformed. Or rather, one of the original members has reformed the band by recruiting 3 new members. Anyway, the songs on here are pretty good, although this side definitely comes a firm second in the 'best cover on the Tied Down / Warwound 7"' contest.

There were 300 copies of this record pressed and that's it. No colour vinyl or any form of limited edition pressing sadly. Just like some of those classic early hardcore records.

Think Warwound have called it a day again!
Saw that Tied Down are going to record their LP in November!
