H-Street - "Self-Titled" 7inch

H-Street were a hardcore band from Austria in the 90's/early 00's. They played a fast and slightly revival type of hardcore- owing a lot to older bands at a time when heavy and chugging riffs still dominated. As the cover would indicate, they were a straight edge band, but their appeal was much wider than that.

With songs about friendships, racism, , and perseverance, they tread some familiar ground at times, but the music and lyrics definitely make for a combination that does not feel rehashed or generic. Add in a cover of a local band (Open Season), some melody to the fast beats, and its a nice 5 song EP that still holds up some 10-12 years later.

Enjoy!

  1. Thanks for the upload!!
    Just two little correction, to your writing.
    1. The cover of the 7" pattern a skateboard wheel, and three cube with the Xs, its a logo of the H-Street skateboard brand.Of course also a hint fort the sXe. The "99A" writing int the wheel also means the relase date(1999) and also a mark for the hardnes the wheel (99A its very hard :) ) In my opinion it's a very stylish cover for an skateboarding maniac sXe hardcore band.
    2. Open Season wasn't a local band. They came from Italy and exists from 1989-1991.
    Once again: Thanks for the upload!! Peace! (Sorry for poor english, I vriting from Hungary :) )
