Corrupted Morals: Think About It 12"

Here we go again! We're bringing you the demo that started it all. Featuring the full demo tape along with a vinyl exclusive recording of Corrupted Morals live at Spanky's on April 15, 1987. All hail the mad reign!


Our take: Lavasocks Records, who gave us a 12” expansion of Corrupted Morals’ Chet 7” a while back, give us another CM treat, this time a vinyl reissue of the band’s 1986 demo. Wow, what a scorcher! I heard rips of these tracks online years ago, but nothing approaching the fidelity on this 12”, which is clear, crisp, and powerful. This earlier material is more straightforwardly hardcore than the Chet era of the band that I’m more familiar with, but I like it even better. The songs are even faster, but they still have that crossover edge to the riffing and those great snotty vocals that are bathed in California surfer dude accident that hooked me on Chet. Think About It is a relentless barrage of 12 tracks coming one right after the other with no letup, and is bound to tickle the fancy of anyone who loves Attitude Adjustment, Life Sentence, and other super-fast mid-80s US hardcore in this vein. Since all of Think About It fits on one side of a 12”, Lavasocks pads out the b-side with a live set recorded a few months after the demo. The fidelity on this set isn’t as strong, but it’s listenable and it includes all five tracks that later appeared on Chet as well as a bunch of demo-era material. This is an essential pickup for anyone who loves Corrupted Morals and/or anyone whose interest in US hardcore extends deeper and further into the 80s.
