Sudden Death Overtime

Cranked this up on my turntable and the 12-inch pressing captures that raw 1988 Boston hardcore energy perfectly, with Jack Kelly's vocals cutting through clean on every track. The sleeve art fits the hockey theme so well it makes me want to watch the film again before spinning side B.

The jacket has a nice glossy finish that really makes the cover art pop, and the vinyl itself plays dead quiet with zero surface noise. Jack Kelly's vocals come through clear and punchy, just like they should for this era of hardcore.

This pressing captures the raw energy of that 1988 Boston hardcore scene perfectly, the vinyl is dead quiet between tracks. Jack’s vocals cut through with that unmistakable intensity I remember from old demo tapes. It’s become my go-to record for when I need a quick, aggressive listen.
