Description
Gird your loins for X ONE WAY X and YOUTH OF STRENGTH a 31 track split album of ferocious straight edge inspired hardcore with tongue firmly in cheek! Hailing from New Jersey, X ONE WAY X is the side project of Bill Henderson (THURSDAY, THE PROCEEDURE, BETWEEN THE WARS) – a true phenomenon of MySpace, after “Generic Hardcore SongÃ¢â‚¬ï† found its way onto the site the band have received in excess of 60,000 plays which led to their debut album on Underground Communique in 2005. Their side of the split album entitled “Start Whenever” (a nod to GORILLA BISCUITS) features 10 brand new tracks. On the flipside are self proclaimed legendary Boston (UK, not USA) straight edge hardcore band YOUTH OF STRENGTH who allegedly inspired the whole straight edge scene with demo tapes in the mid 80s that were the main influence on YOUTH OF TODAY and CHAIN OF STRENGTH. After their 20 year old demo “Shouting For A Better Tomorrow” was released on 7″ in late 2005, the bands
notoriety spread throughout the hardcore scene, the band have subsequently reformed and re-recorded some of their old material with brand new songs as displayed on the 21 tracks of their side of the album, entitled (YOUTH OF TODAY fans turn away now!) “WE’RE NOT IN THIS TO BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ALONE”… inspirational band or just a bunch of thirty-somethings messing around with too much time on their hands? You decide! In addition to the 31 tracks on the LP, there is also a bonus CD included featuring an extra 28 tracks that’s an eye watering 59 tracks in total
