Antioch Arrow - Gems Of Masochism

This is a band that should really need no introduction to any emofreak with truly discerning tastes but my typing fingers are itchy so they will get one anyway. Antioch Arrow were hands down the best band to emerge from the early-90s San Diego fuckcore scene. San Diego spawned far too many fantastic bands to recount during this time period - Angel Hair, Clikitat Ikatowi, and Heroin just to name a few of the most critically lauded. It must have been a truly progressive and creatively nurturing scene indeed. I was stuck on the other side of the country during this period but would slake my high art Gravity Records tastes with yummy little nuggets like this, which were often obtained by going out to some sketchy dude in a women's blouse's car after a punk show and buying records from a box in the trunk. Now you can slake your thirsts without taking the same risks I did. Night-night! Keep ya butthole tight!
