Mad at the World Records

Following hot on the heels of 7"s on Livewire Records and High Anxiety 416/ No Idea Records, Cheap Tragedies waste no time in dropping an absolute rager of an LP. Comprised of some well-seasoned clevo vets, including a maniacal Tony Erba delivering his best vocal performance ever, they tear through 12 tracks of amped up, hardcore punk rock n roll on their debut Volume 1: Souvenirs and Evidence the way only Cleveland miscreants can. Recorded by Bill Korecky at Mars Studio (Face Value, Integrity, 9 Shocks Terror, Terror, etc), the sound is incendiary and justifies their reputation as "hardcore arena rock destroyers"

Battletorn crank the brutality up higher with their apocalyptic thrash. Filtering some early 80s hardcore fury through thrash metal unruliness via Marshall stacks. They blast through 16 shattering songs that recall late 80s UK acts (think Heresy and the like) as it does some Negative FX/ early D.R.I. style hardcore mania. The 16 track Terminal Dawn sold out of its 500 copy gatefold pressing in a few scant months, and is pressed here on CD, along with a re-mastered version of their 6 song 2006 Burn Fast 7". To continue with their bash and crash over-before-you-know-it theme, 500 copies of the CD were manufactured to make up this pressing, to coincide with the Battletorn March 08 Japanese tour!
