My favorite records to collect is the obscure shit that no one remembers or cares about. Oh, some mediocre hardcore band from the 90's? Fuck yes. Pump this shit straight into my veins.While I would assume that the band ONE were kind of forgotten to time and dust, they did hit a few markers with their Remain 12 inch that were kind of a big deal for that time...Watermark Records and one of the Jordan brothers were involved, plus Jay Demko from Lincoln and Junction on guitar... so maybe there were a few people that might remember them. When I picked up that Remain record a few years ago, I saw the China Blue 7 inch listed for the band on Discogs. I didn't even know that this existed. Plus there was a blue vinyl pressing and only one had ever been sold through there? Oh hell yes. I put it on my wantlist and once one became available I grabbed it.Look, the Remain record from ONE is good and I have a lot of fun with it, but it isn't going to blow minds. This 7 inch is a bit more raw, and not quite as good or catchy, but being the 90's fiend that I am, I still really enjoy it.
