FEAR - Fuel To The Fire 7'' 2019

It almost borders on ignorance, but now, after so many years, the first Fear entry and this two-track goodie was recorded in Brooklyn on June 19, 1992 and pressed on vinyl for the first time by Atom Age Industries/Fear Records in 2019 as a limited multi-color edition. Info: Fear is an important four piece + formed late 1977 by Lee (the band's only constant member) and bassist Derf in Los Angeles and helped define the sound and style of L.A. Hardcore. The band is known for their controversial lyrics, which are, at times, sexist and/or homophobic, though this is usually meant more to be shocking than it is to be taken seriously. Following the release of their first single, Now Your Dead/I Love Livin In The City from 1978, drummer Spit and guitarist Philo joined the band and this constituted the "classic" Fear line-up. Six albums were released until 2012, numerous 7Inches (last 2023) and Compi contributions and that they remain active is just as cool. Fuel To The Fire was recorded by Lee (vocals/guitars), Philo (guitars), Will (bass), Spit Stix (drums) and this 7Inch really kick your ass!
