Release: 2014
Label: PAINKILLER Records
540 Records and Painkiller present one of the most important and, yep, best New York hardcore recordings on vinyl for the first time EVER with "Running Scared." On this 540 and Painkiller split release you will find the "Runnin' Scared" demo from 1988, recorded in The Loft studios in Bronxville, near the parkway, and previously unreleased versions of "All I Ask" and "Hold Me Back" - the latter basically a new Breakdown song that you can't get anywhere else except for this thing - and their WNYU session from 1989. The demo is as good as any hardcore record ever and the band is as good as any band.
