Mark Thwaite Gemini - Volumes - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Limited red and black colored vinyl LP pressing. 100% Hardcore. 100% Straight Edge. 100% Latino. Colombian hardcore band Raw Brigade are stating exactly who they are with their 2025 album 100%. Always having a mix of English and Spanish vocals in their tracks, when it came time to record 100% it morphed into recording two versions of the record, one in English and one in Spanish. Vocalist Carlos Chavarriaga wrote and produced it with the help of Avery Field and Connors Jones, recording with Jon Markson at The Animal Farm in New Jersey and Santiago Gonzalez at Sepia Studio in Bogotá, and Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The eleven tracks burst with aggression through furious vocals, fast-paced riffs, and plenty of two-step mosh parts. Influence from NYHC bands like Outburst and Warzone seeps through, while lyrics tackle everything from straight edge pride to addressing those who are treated unjust from corrupt systems.

Composer Philip Grange wrote the music on this CD for the combination of flute, clarinet, percussion, piano, violin and cello, the line-up of Peter Maxwell Davies' group the Fires of London, which commissioned Cimmerian Nocturne in 1978 and Variations several years later.
