This Is A War

Last year I was stoked on the debut release by Unified Action, a UK band playing old school 1980s styled UK hardcore. The debut 12" EP looked and sounded great. The band mainly came to my attention as it has Lins87 from Tied Down on vocals, and I really liked the 12", so when the same label put up preorders for a 7" up around a year ago, I was on it immediately. Somehow the label flaked for months and then the band managed to find another label to put it out, so I ended up getting mine about 8 months after I initially expected to. But you know what they say - good things come to those who wait.

The record is titled 'This Is A War' and comes on two different colours of vinyl, white and green, both being limited to 120 copies each.

I was also lucky enough to pick up a test press in an inverted cover, which is hand numbered out of 10 copies.

This is a really good follow up to the first 12". Five songs in seven minutes in a black and white cover probably tells you everything you need to know. Fast, no frills old school hardcore from the north east of England.

The label still has copies available to order HERE if this sounds like your thing (which in theory it should do if you're reading this in the first place!). Go get it.
