Five Minute Major - When It Ends CD

Over a year ago I posted the 5 Minute Major demo, and recently someone requested their 'When It Ends' CD. So here it is. The CD has some new material on it which was recorded in 2000, but also the 1998 demo recordings and 2 songs taken from a set they did for the Crucial Chaos radio show in 1999. It was released on Inner Rage Records in 2000, a small label from Paris, France which was run by Jean-Marc Dalbin, who used to front a band called Drowning during their early years. He also released records for bands such as Overcast, Starkweather and Fury Of Five. Anyways, 5MM is great burly & rough NYHC that really shouldn't appeal to scrawny people like myself, but what can ya do?! Check out my other 5MM post for more info. Enjoy!

Overthrow - React CD

Here's another request, Overthrow's 'React' CD. Overthrow were a hardcore band from Long Island, they started in 1996 and continued till 1999 or 2000. In that time they did the 'No Authority' demo, a 7", several splits and this full-length CD. Released in 1999 on Triple Crown Records, this is a really solid piece of NYHC mixed with some melodic influences. One thing about having a large collection is that a lot of stuff just doesn't get played, ever. It's been at least 5 years, if not more, that I last listened to this album. And for some reason I remembered it not being all that great, maybe also because I love One 4 One and so I don't play Overthrow's side of their split 7" all that much. Anyways, an anonymous person requested this CD on that post, so I revisited it. Hearing it again, I don't know why I didn't bother with this for so long. It's simply great. Anyways, check em out.
