A wise man once told me that all the good stuff is in the 7 inch section at used record stores, and once again that is proven true on this latest trip to Wanna Hear It Records. It was so fun flipping through those records, and pulling out surprise rarities and a few cheap finds that I decided to take a chance on.
Back when I was getting into hardcore around 1990/91, Nemesis Records was a pretty big deal. Records from Vision, Insted and Against The Wall were all important to me at that time, and the Nemesis label carried a lot of respect. Looking back on their catalog now, I'm like, "wow, they released a bunch of weird shit too"... stuff that I never really associated with Nemesis... but still, when I saw the Once And For All 7 inch at Wanna Hear It, I knew that I needed to buy it. I'd never heard this record before, but figured that in 2025, 35 years after its release, the time had finally come.
This Once And For All 7 inch is full of those early 90's hardcore traps... the slap bass... the attempt to be funky... the influence of hip hop styles... and honestly, I can see where some people would be like "yeah, not for me", but I'm a sucker for this shit, and I love that I can occasionally still discover stuff like this.
