Cool, rippin hardcore punk from Texas, I was stoked to find this in the review pile Chris sent me. I got the LP back in the late 80's and loved it. That whole LP is included here as are various ep tracks. By the late 80's the scene was already fragmenting into sub-genres and unfortunately Dresden 45 got a little lost in the shuffle, not fitting neatly into any boxes. They're firmly rooted in hardcore but not to the extent to which it's punk roots are lost.

There are a lot more guitar solos here (many quite good) than were normally permitted in hardcore. The vocals are extremely urgent, a full raging tantrum going on here but in a very good way. Intelligent, well thought out lyrics and consistant energy make this a great lost jewel if you're into 80's hardcore.
