Raleigh, North Carolina's newest punk sensations, Shards (former/current members of Logic Problem, Crossed Eyes, Whatever Brains, and Street Sharks) rip through six tracks of dark, richly melodic punk on this 6-song demo cassette. Bucking the current trend of always playing as fast as possible, Shards reach back to punk's pre-hardcore days, recalling straightforward yet evocative records like the Misfits' Static Age and TSOL's early EPs, but with a snarling vocalist that brings to mind Darby Crash at his nastiest.
