There are some bands that I have known of for thirty years or more and know absolutely nothing about. Back in the early 90s I used to buy records that were on the same record label as other records that I liked. So I bought a Stronghold 7" simply because it was on Doghouse Records. And even though I haven't listened to it for a long time, I semi recently found out that it existed on gold vinyl so felt compelled to buy it.
To me this is some pretty typical early 90s 7". Chugging heavy hardcore, sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Think ballpark Slugfest, but with a less powerful vocal. I always liked this when i was young and thought it was cool when I would find records like this that it felt like nobody in the world had ever heard of.
I have owned a red vinyl copy of this forever, but had no idea yellow existed. But judging from discogs, it feels like the red is rarer.
I'm not sure how many people would still care about this record in 2025. Not many I would guess. And sure, part of my love for this one is kinda based on nostalgia, but that said, I genuinely think this is a good record and a great example of low budget, rural early 90s hardcore.

Interesting. Like you, I bought this back in the early 90's simply because it was on Doghouse and I really liked Majority Of One... but this record failed to move me, and it has been sitting in a box for over 30 years with a number of other 7 inches that I never was interested in at the time.
