Avail:
Satiate, Dixie, 4AM Friday,
Over the James, One Wrench, Front Porch Stories,
Fall of Richmond
Possibly the greatest hardcore punk band of all time, Avail took over the world in the the early 90s with the release of the 7" "Attempt to Regress" which was the first Avail album to feature Tim Barry on vocals. Smart, brash, honest and simple. Avail showed the world that hardcore wasnt as cut and dry as it seemed. To quote my favorite zine of all time, Rumpshaker, "Avail looked more like guys that would fix your busted alternator at some middle of no where service station". Posted above is every Avail studio full length and the Fall of Richmond split (which i included because of the fantastic alternate version of Lombardy St.) I hope that if you have never heard this band that you give these albums a listen. Virginia Hardcore at its finest.
