Restraining Order First Four Years Odds & Sods LP
A ripping collection of demos, compilation tracks, outtakes, and covers that captures RESTRAINING ORDER perfectly. Punishing, hook-heavy hardcore with equal parts youth crew and early Boston rage. Every track is stripped to the essentials of hardcore: sharp riffage, stomping breakdowns, and sing-along choruses without a wasted second. Fans of bands with classic ’80s hardcore DNA like VIOLENT REACTION and CAREER SUICIDE will appreciate this honest offering. This collection catches the West Springfield crew at their rawest and most explosive. Old school hardcore without simply reproducing it.
