Wisdom in Chains - Split - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Wisdom - I Shall Die Here [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/01/2014

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 archive from the iconic singer/songwriter. The songs on Hitchhiker were recorded in a single night with the intent of being released as an album. In his memoir Special Deluxe, Young described the session, It was a complete piece, although I was pretty stony on it, and you can hear it in my performances... I laid down all the songs in a row, pausing only for weed, beer, or coke. Briggs was in the control room, mixing live on his favorite console. Many of the songs surfaced on Young albums American Stars 'n Bars, Decade, Comes a Time, Rust Never Sleeps, Hawks & Doves, and Le Noise, albeit in different forms. Hitchhiker also contains a pair of never-before-released songs Hawaii and Give Me Strength, which Young has occasionally performed live.

The ruling kings of Pennsylvania hardcore return from battle in a small town called Tobyhanna, victoriously carrying with them their 7th studio album. Stories of hard earned lessons, and stories loss are sung in their anthems and tales, backed by a fresh infectious approach in their vision of hardcore. InchNothing In Nature Respect's WeaknessInch marks a continued evolution for Wisdom in Chains as tired clichés about the genre are left to burn like heretics. Staying true to their unwritten oath, the band maintains a hard-line mix with their oi / punk hooks and choruses, unleashing explosive energy in succession on all 13 tracks, that continue to bring new sounds to the roots of traditional hardcore.
