First Four EPs (reissue) vinyl

Featuring past and present members of some of the most important names in hardcore and punk, like Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Burning Brides and Rocket From The Crypt; OFF! is the ultimate supergroup in the modern hardcore scene. While there's been some recent rumblings about a potential new album taking shape behind the scenes, in the meantime, the 'First Four EPs', are set to be reissued on blue vinyl and housed in a gorgeous gatefold sleeve. These literal first four EPs would eventually be compiled in the punkest of fashions to serve as the definitive debut full-length from the band in 2010. With literally not a single of the 16 tracks making it over the 2-minute mark, and a total runtime of less than 18 minutes total, this breakneck barrage of focused chaos from some stalwart veterans is a vital contribution to the hardcore movement, arriving at a precarious time where seasoned artists were learning to integrate with new school graduates. Twelve years on, it's still as immediate and vital as it was over a decade ago.
