Ruined Lives

by Transistor Transistor

supported by

Brendan Ford A classic from a time where there were so many great hardcore records coming out of the northeast. Great production on this record too, unlike so many hardcore albums from the era. Favorite track: Brass Bones.

rahnos Damn, Ruined Lives is such a good Hardcore album. Glad to have discovered it.

Darknight Hardcore punk rock which snarls and bites at the audience just to get a reaction, great production from Mr Kurt Ballou gives it the extra crunch,get it now so you can blow up your amp and destroy your neighbour's lives. Favorite track: Pillar of Salt.

Michael F. A classic in the realm of what I term the Ebullition Records sound; that cross of staccato, rifftastic off-kilter song structures and insane presentation. The precursor to the likes of Every Time I Die. Before emo/hardcore was a dirty word used to describe haircuts and disenfranchised rich kids. Classic. Favorite track: Morning Sickness.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 10 fans who also own “Ruined Lives”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

ONLY LOVE
by The Armed

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren
