When I'd ordered a copy of the I Rise / Soul Control split through Discogs last year, it turned out that the seller was Kyle Whitlow that used to run Rivalry Records. He was a little late in sending the order out, so he threw in a bunch of Rivalry stuff that he still had laying around. I found most of it useless to me, and wished that he hadn't done me the "favor"... but in amongst all of the copies of the Soul Control album with no sleeves was this 7 inch from The Damage Control.
I really wasn't familiar with this band. I have a copy of the Never Wash Away 7 inch from The Damage Done, but it never really stuck with me and it has been well over 10 years since I've even listened to it. However, after writing up the Frostbite post the other day, and talking about early 2000's hardcore that I missed the first time around, I decided that maybe I should revisit The Damage Done and finally check out this City Of Hope 7 inch that Kyle had sent me.
Initially I was indifferent to receiving this 7 inch, but this record kind of fits my mood right now, and I'm glad to have had this dropped into my hands. Early 2000's hardcore is currently my vibe, and the City Of Hope record fits in nicely alongside the other stuff from that time period that I'm listening to.
