After the potent dosage of hardcore history I’ve been delivering for this column the past few weeks, I think it’s high time I step back, take a deep breath and head down into the cellar with a case of Wolters to wade through the piles of vinyl that have been accumulating whilst talking to old dudes. Some is stuff from the here and now, and there might be a reissue thrown in here and there for good measure. Nonetheless, I assure you this’ll be the ultimate listening guide for the non-shithead both young and old. Trust me.
