Union 13 - East Los Presents...



It was in the middle of 2001, when the first time i bought this record in a Audio Cassette format. This is old style Hardcore that perfectly blended with politically aware lyrics crushing through 18 hard and fast tracks. This raw 18-song record is full of youthful anger, which is well articulated and cohesive without sounding calculated or contrived. "East Los Presents.." was the first studio album by these bunch of hispanic latino hardcore kids that released in july 1997 under Epitaph Records. Union 13 mix politics and guitars in a thrashing mess that recalls the original LA punk scene. these guys can pump out the fast tunes faster than you can say "WOW!" Speed is one thing these guys excel at, and composing beats that will pull you in and make you beg for more is the other thing they excel at. Not only do these guys sing songs in English, they also can do speedy tracks in their native language of Spanish. But you won't be able to tell the difference. The words will just flow right by you. The music is what you'll hear, and the words will just be too fast to understand. But don't worry, with 18 tracks to keep you happy, you'll be breaking things and running around for the whole thirty one minutes and forty six seconds this CD is playing. Make yourself ready..
