While I was obsessing over Disembodied and Harvest, and talking with Marcus about 90's hardcore bands that I didn't pay enough attention to back in the day, he dropped the names of a couple of other bands on me. Things snowballed from there and I bought another 90's 7 inch, and then another. It got me thinking about years past when I would line up a bunch of recent 90's records that I'd recently picked up, and just rip through and post them all up on the blog during the week. I've done a blast of 90's colored vinyl and I did bunch of posts stuck in the 90's, and now I should have enough backlog to do a week of 90's hardcore.
One of the 90's bands that Marcus mentioned to me recently was Union. The name sounded really familiar when he asked me about them, and I was surprised to find that I still owned their In The Shadows CD that I probably picked up from Newbury Comics back in the day. I probably haven't listened to that thing in almost 30 years, but between my obsession in uncovering lost 90's hardcore bands and Marcus pushing me to listen to the first song on the You Fell For It 7 inch, I immediately scrambled to find the songs to check out. Of course Marcus was talking about this record back in 2017, but I failed to pick up what he was laying down... comparisons to the first Snapcase LP and recommending for fans of Cast Iron Hike, and I must have been asleep at the wheel to not check this out right then and there. Seven years later and I'm finally paying attention to what the man said.
Spotify has Union listed as Union_buffalo_hc, which is weird, but at least they have the band's full discography listed, and I've been listening to them a lot. Goddamn. The trifecta of Disembodied, Harvest and Union are gonna carry me through this year.
