Philadelphia Riot Grrrl Flyer
An old flyer for Riot Grrrl Philadelphia. I am about 98% sure Jen Baker drew this flyer.

Faith/Void Split
Those who know me well know that I love The Faith. Easily one of my favorite harDCore bands; actually, I think they are the best connection between the first and second waves of hardcore in DC. You’re X’d is one of my favorite Straight Edge songs. Seriously: if you defend them you’re no better.
I’m not a super huge fan of the Void side of this split. There is something in the production that is lacking from their demos, which are some of the most primal, ugly, hardcore ever created.

Battalion of Saints
A long time ago, before you could use the Internets to download almost any rare record instantly, tape trading was the method to hear cool hardcore bands without paying stupid collector prices for that great privilege. When I was 17, a friend made me a tape of a bunch of records, one of which was the Battalion of Saints record. This quickly became one of my favorite records of all time to this day. A serious rager with some burly, fast songs and a few more rocking, not quite melodic though, jams. An absolute essential part of any USHC collection.
At one point, there was a reissue CD with their album also on Taang! Records, but I have no idea if that is still available today.
