The next installment in my 'catching up on 7" posts' series, and this is a compilation from the early 00s that I am convinced that there is zero interest in these days.
'Anger Management Session 1' was released by Martyr Records back in 2003. Back then I had been a little out of touch with hardcore for a couple of years due to life, and when I came back I was discovering all manner of new bands and labels. It felt like I had been gone for ten years as the landscape had changed a lot, so compilations were a really useful way to help me catch up. This comp contains 6 'B-list' bands from the era, namely Kill Your Idols, Holding On, Close Call, My Luck, Diehard Youth, and What Feeds The Fire.
The early 00s was also the era that spawned an increase in the numbers of different versions of each record, but this record was released on 'only' three different colours of vinyl. This copy completes the trilogy for me of red vinyl (110), blue vinyl (330) and green (not sure, but the most common colour).
I really love hardcore from this era, and for some reason I associate it with cold, dark winter nights, so this one seems perfect to get reaquainted with at this time of year. The strange thing is that the best song on here is by Diehard Youth, but I never got around to picking up any of their other records. And somehow even now they don't seem easy or cheap to acquire. So if anyone wants to sell me some Diehard Youth 7"s that would be appreciated.
