Buried Alive & Reach The Sky - Split
This is a lesser known release by two very well known bands. Buried Alive's side is heavy as ever and sounds pretty similar to the "Death Of Your Perfect World" stuff. The quality is kinda weak, I apologize but these songs are exclusive to this release and still worth checking out. I didn't even have the Reach the Sky side of this split until today and I didn't really care previously because I've never been too big on this band. Their side is actually really catchy though. Fast-paced, retains the hardcore structure with some lighter vocals. I also believe these songs were on one of their full lengths but I wouldn't know.
Buried Alive
1. Another Day Closer To Death
2. Our Time Is At Hand
Reach The Sky
1. Let Us Be Damned
2. Stars Lead The Way

Vision Of Disorder - Self-titled
Vision of Disorder (or commonly abbreviated as VOD) was a hardcore band from Long Island, New York. This record has extreme groove accented by an awesome vocalist and powerful drumming. This was one of the first 90's hardcore records I listened to and it really got me hooked on that style. You can also hear pieces of the awesome genre of Nu-metal leaking through on this album. Completely alright with me.

Morning Again - Hand Of Hope
Last of my "Lost In The Mediafire Vault" series. This is a record by Florida's Morning Again who were a vegan metalcore/hardcore band of the 90's. This record is less metallic than most of their records (I like those ones more) but still has some great songs. Possibly due to the fact that is their first two seven inches compiled into one album. Members of this band were constantly switching members with influential 90's band Culture. It also contained members of Bird Of Ill Omen and the founder of Eulogy Records. This band is an excellent example of a 90's band that actually had something to say.

Make Do and Mend - Intesity In Ten Cities
Make Do and Mend are a pop punk band from Connecticut. They are pretty much blowing up right now and I just happened to find their demo in my mediafire. It's great in it's own way and sounds nothing like what they're currently doing. I had to continue the tradition of posting this picture with Kathleen in it and I don't know if I could really find artwork for this. I could if I cared enough but I don't and this is better anyways.
For fans of: ...Jawbreaker I guess.

Indecision - Release The Cure
This was in my mediafire with no downloads. What a fucking shame. This isn't really the traditional Indecision in the sense that it's recorded with the second singer but that doesn't not take away from this record whatsoever. This was the first album I heard by them and it definitely stuck with me. If you didn't like the high voice of "Unorthodox" or "Most Precious Blood", you might be able to get into this. They are reuniting this year on multiple occasions so get into this record (along with their other stuff.) and go get fucking stupid.

Dead Wrong & The Banner - Split
Another hit unearthed from my mediafire. This is a split Connecticut's Dead Wrong and The Banner did. These are the most well recorded material put out by Dead Wrong and shows how they progressed from their somewhat generic Clevo-style (Don't get me wrong, I love this band.). The Banner side is really early material from them and it's what actually made me like them. They're hard but overall pretty generic. Pick up the split on vinyl from Trip Machine Labs.
