Somebody's Got A Case of the Mondays...... Phyte Records Catalog 1998

So, my apologies for not having a planned Monday post up. The rest of the week is planned, but I had changed my mind about my planned Monday. I'm on a much needed Vacation (the stay at home kind) and of course, that means Monday is the "Honey-Do-List" Day. Being an expectant father only made it that much more of a necessity.

However, after the wife's car got an oil change and learning how to make vegan "hot pockets", I set to clearing some boxes from what will be the nursery. That meant getting to some pictures and old flyers, etc. that I had been meaning to dig out. So, it all works out for the blog in the end.

For your Monday viewing pleasure, Food, an old label Catalog, and my new pick-ups from a trip to Dr. Strange Records

Tuesday, Music, Promise!

Consequence - Self-Titled 7inch

One of the many Used Bin Bargains from Dr. Strange Records in Alta Loma that I've picked up over the years. This was one of the random ones I happened across and it caught my attention. It had enough songs (5) along with lyrics that at least gave it enough potential to put out a buck or two on.

The first time I put it on, it caught & held my attention. A big acoustic guitar intro that gives you that emotional hardcore feel like Mean Season or Strife's "Slipping", before it jumps forward with it's full hardcore force. Overall a very strong little EP of a longer song or two with some shorter songs mixed in.

Just within the last few months as I looked at starting up a new blog and posting this, I learned that this band would disband with members going on to form the initial line-up of Eyelid with an ex-member of Strife, both bands who would put out some great 90's hardcore that helped shape that decades sound. Not too bad of a start for those members with this record. Enjoy, and if you have more specific info. as far as who was in this band and Eyelid, feel free to share in the comments, I was able to find very little of specific info. and don't currently own any physical copies of Eyelid's stuff.
