Back in 2009 my dad took me to my very first hardcore show. Pile of Dismemberment was the touring act and they were completely mind altering. My 13 year old self thought bands like Minor Threat and Misfits were as 'hard' as it got, Pile of Dismemberment smashed this misconception with their kickass style. Originating in Vermillion, South Dakota, with a good variant in song structure, and cool alternating male and female vocals, Pile of Dismemberment is a text book example of what Midwest crust punk should sound like. This tape is a live recording, but gives no justice to how fierce their live show is. This band, and this tape changed my whole conception of music. Up the crust punks. 6 songs in 11 minutes;
