Description
Formed in 1982 in Baldwin, Long Island, The Crumbsuckers were inspired by the initial wave of hardcore punk spearheaded in America by bands such as Los Angeles’ Black Flag, Washington D.C.’s Minor Threat and Detroit’s Negative Approach. But unlike the rest of the teenaged hardcore bands forming throughout the country at the time, The Crumbsuckers were accomplished musicians for their age. Their combination of musical prowess and blindingly fast songs landed them a contract with Combat Records – home to such heavy hitting acts as Exodus, Circle Jerks and Megadeth at the time – and put them at the forefront of the “crossover” movement of the mid-80’s which merged the raw power of hardcore punk with the complexity of heavy metal. Their debut LP from 1986, Life of Dreams, is considered a landmark release in the genre of crossover containing such ferocious classics as “Sit There,” “Bullshit Society” and “Hub Run,” which are all delivered with an added crunch courtesy of producer Norman Dunn, the man responsible for such other crossover classics as Agnostic Front’s Cause for Alarm and the debut release by Brooklyn’s Carnivore. For Beast on My Back, the bands’ second and final record from 1988, they worked with Megadeth producer Randy Burns. The band is in a more polished, thrash metal mode foreshadowing the direction bass player Gary Meskil would take in his impending band, the highly successful and still operating Pro-Pain. Real Gone Music presents both of these groundbreaking releases for the first time on one compact disc with liner notes written by Tony Rettman; author of NYHC – New York Hardcore 1980 – 1990. Remastered at Sony’s own Battery Studios from the original tapes that were long buried in the Sony U.K. vault!

Baldwin is the next town over from Oceanside. For some reason, I don't remember these guys. Probably wind up buying this, anyway.

Lost some hearing and brain cells seeing these guys at L'Amour and CBGB back in the day.
