I Have Faith

This one has been in my blog backlog for a few months. Honestly, I've been procrastinating on making this post, as I just don't really have anything exciting to say about it.

Faith are one of those classic DC Hardcore bands. For some reason I never really took the time to check out most of those early Dischord bands until the last few years. In fact the first time I really heard Faith was through a couple cover songs...M.O.D. doing Confusion/You're X'd back in '87, and then In My Eyes doing What's Wrong With Me. After hearing In My Eyes cover the band, I figured that maybe it was time to finally check them out.

This LP is another one of the Dischord re-issues, as they package the Subject To Change EP along with the band's '81 demo.

Devoid Of Faith

Most people with any knowledge of Hardcore history, have probably already heard all of the early Dischord catalog. Not me. For some reason, up until recently, my collection went from Minor Threat straight into the Revolution Summer bands like Embrace, Fugazi, and Soul Side. I completely missed the early harD.C.ore years. Over the past year, I've really started digging in to the Dischord early years and finding those classic bands that I've been missing out on. The newest discovery for me is the Faith/Void split LP. Dischord recently reissued this on colored vinyl, so I figured that it was a good time to check it out. Great stuff, and I can see why a band like In My Eyes would cover their song What's Wrong With Me. Classic.
