Offspring, “Offspring” (Nitro, 1995; original release 1989)
Yes, it’s the same band responsible for all those late-‘90s radio duds, but this is their debut, raw, raging and released in a tiny pressing to near-total indifference at the time. Today it sounds great – classic dark, melodic L.A. hardcore in the mold of TSOL/CH3/Agent orange et al., but with a distinctively chaotic, skittering edge that constantly threatens to combust.
