D/L


ASSHOLE PARADE



Fifteen songs in twelve-and-a-half minutes! Kickass, no bullshit, hardcore thrash! "Say Goodbye" collects the two lost AP recording sessions done in the late 90's. Half of the songs feature Drew DeMaio (STRIKEFORCE DIABLO, FLOOR) on second guitar, and half feature Matt Sweeting (TRUE NORTH, STRIKEFORCE DIABLO). All songs have the AP staples: blasting drum beats, thrashing guitars, and scathing lyrics. AP pick up where their legendary split LP with PALATKA leaves off, delivering hardcore that blends the anger of CITIZEN'S ARREST with the speed of early Slam-A-Ham bands like NO COMMENT and CROSSED OUT.
