Right Brigade

Right Brigade were a kind of hardcore super group from Boston around 1999. Jesse Standhard from Follow Through was on vocals, Clevo from Ten Yard Fight was on bass, and over on guitar was Pat from Fastbreak. You would think that this record was destined for greatness, but by the time their album was released on Revelation, the band was falling apart at the seams. I seem to recall some messageboard chatter at the time about how Jesse left the finishing touches of the album up to the band, and that Pat(?) fucked it all up with the noisy extras he added. I believe that Jesse was so disgusted with the album that he was telling everyone to not buy it. But man, this first 7 inch showed so much promise.
When I received the Straight Ahead record from Brian Murphy, he threw this one in as a free bonus and since I only owned this one on CD, the vinyl was a welcome addition to the collection.
