LIFE SENTENCE 'Life Sentence' LP

The first Official re-issue of the classic Hardcore-Punk debut LP from Life Sentence. Remastered from the original master tapes with 6 additional bonus tracks. 80's Chicago Thrash at it's finest.

Legendary Chicago hardcore punks Life Sentence began their self-titled debut in 1985 with vocalist/bassist Joe Lasurdo, drummer Tom O'Connor, guitarist/vocalist Eric Brockman and vocalist Ray Morris. Morris quit before the record was finished and the band became a trio with Losurdo taking over the lead vocals duties with occasional help from Brockman. Above O'Connor's pounding rolls, Losurdo's melodic bass lines and Brockmna's scathing lead licks, Losurdo and Brockman spit furious lines about police harassment, the futility of war, unemployment, and other burning issues, as well as punk's commercialisation, raw raging and excellently executed, this is first-rate US Midwest harcore, influential in its day and still blistering.
