Fragment - Allegory 7"

Fragment was a short-lived mid-to-late 90s band from South Carolina and played metallic new school hardcore with throaty vocals, reminiscent of bands like Andromeda, Fortydaysrain and such. Unfortunately there's little information on them to be found with the 7" and I can't find a reference to them online either. Which is a damn shame cuz this band was pretty good. This 7" was released on a SC label called Deedlit Records, which also does not bring up any info online. I believe Fragment's drummer was also drumming for Codeseven at some point tho? Oh, and this is not the Fragment from MA who were around at roughly the same time. AJ did an excellent post on them a while ago over at Path To Misery. Anyways, if anybody has any information on Fragment from SC, such as what else they did, what the band-members did before/after Fragment, etc, please leave a comment!

Youth For Justice compilation CD

My Faultline post from a month ago received a comment about a compilation Faultline were on. As it turns out, it's the Youth For Justice compilation mentioned in my post. So I ripped it and here it is. This compilation was put out in, I think, 1996 by Earth House, a label (or maybe a collective?) ran by John Faultline, singer of Faultline and Mark Lucy. The compilation features a number of bands, as well as almost a dozen spoken words tracks by among others John Faultline and Mark Lucy. The spoken words tracks deal with a variety of subjects such as objectification, feminism/women's rights, racism, the injustice of the political system etc, but truth be told, they're all too short in length to really delve into their respective subjects. The bands on here are Faultline (with 2 tracks from their 'Roots Of The Rape Culture' album), Council Of Five Nations, In Vain, Faceless, Ego Filter, Emberscent, Quadiliacha (the only band on here I cannot get into) and Element 33. Overall, it's a pretty cool & interesting compilation with a huge variety in styles, ranging from 90s 'new school' hardcore to emo to punkrock. Beside Faultline, In Vain and Element 33 are the standout bands for me. Enjoy.
