A few weeks back, Municipal Waste came through town, and shockingly I actually got out of the house to see the band play. The plan was to meet my friend Rob in the city where we would grab dinner before the two of went to the show... so I kind of forced myself to commit by making plans with someone. I mean, I like Municipal Waste but I was having a hard time feeling too excited for the show, however as soon as the first band started playing, my mood suddenly changed and it felt really nice to be out seeing bands play live.
The first band to play that night was Corrective Measure. This is a Maine hardcore band that I'd never heard of, and had low expectations for, but as soon as they started playing I was immediately hooked. I don't what it was... maybe it was because I've spent so much time this year listening to stuff like The Cure... but seeing a straight forward hardcore band made me kind of nostalgic for that sound. I loved what I heard, and planned on visiting their merch table at the end of the night to pick up a couple of records. Another Maine punk band, Covered In Bees, played next and were a lot of fun, and then Municipal Waste stole the show and played an amazing set that was so fun and full of energy. It was just a good night for live music and made me realize that I need to do this more often (will I? probably not.)
But at the end of the night I went over to the merch table and was disappointed to see that the Corrective Measure dudes had already packed up and left. The next morning, I checked Discogs and found a seller that had the Refuse Records pressing on red availabe for a good price, so I quickly bought it. As it turned out, the seller was from the next town over from me so I had it in hand the following day.
110 pressed on red.
