Our Take

Ah, Maximum Penalty... the demo that catapulted this New York hardcore band into the stratosphere in '89. Now reissued on blue vinyl, it's time to revisit this raw and gritty masterpiece.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported back to the smoky basements and sweaty mosh pits of a bygone era. The ferocious energy and biting lyrics hit you like a punch in the face, reminding you why you fell in love with hardcore in the first place.

Tracks like "Nothing For Me" and "Innocent Bystander" showcase the band's signature blend of aggression and melody, with blistering guitar riffs and thunderous drumming propelling each song forward with unrelenting force.

But it's not all about the chaos and aggression. The haunting ballad "Lost My Way" shows a softer, more introspective side to the band, proving that they have depth and versatility beyond just sheer brutality.

Overall, Maximum Penalty's Demo '89 is a must-have for any hardcore punk aficionado. It's a time capsule of a bygone era, when music was raw, unapologetic, and meant to be played at maximum volume. So grab your copy, crank up the volume, and let Maximum Penalty remind you why you fell in love with punk rock in the first place.

About the artist

Maximum Penalty

MAXIMUM PENALTY are a band that have been tearing up the hardcore scene since the late 80s, and they show no signs of slowing down. Hailing from New York City, these guys bring a unique blend of aggressive riffs, breakneck tempo changes, and socially conscious lyrics that will have you moshing one minute and contemplating the state of the world the next. Their latest album, "Life Goes On," is a true powerhouse of an album, with tracks like "Cause for Alarm" and "No One Wins" hitting you like a sledgehammer to the gut. The band's no-nonsense approach to songwriting is refreshing in a world where so many artists are more focused on image than substance. I had the pleasure of catching MAXIMUM PENALTY live last year, and let me tell you, they do not disappoint. The energy they bring to the stage is infectious, and their tight musicianship is nothing short of impressive. I found myself headbanging along with the rest of the crowd, swept up in the raw power of their performance. If you're a fan of old school hardcore with a modern twist, MAXIMUM PENALTY are definitely a band you need to check out. They may not be a household name, but they are without a doubt one of the most underrated acts in the scene right now. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
