Line Of Fire - "As The World Burns"

This was the first record we ever put out, and way before Goin' Ape Shit Records. We put it out as Deathstaban Records, which we named after our friend and future Line Of Fire member Esteban. There was a CD-R and 7" version of this, the CD version had a cover of "Braineaters" by the Misfits, on the vinyl we took it out and put our own song "Left Behind" which was also on a AZPunk.com comp. I put on both song for the download. We slacked on making the covers for the vinyl so there are a bunch of different versions, first ones are silk screened, later ones are color photocopies, and the last ones are just black ink on colored paper. I'm working on posting a full discography soon, and hopefully before years end we will have a new e.p. out.

There is something so punk about a lo-fi recording and shitty production with the vocals way out on top of everything. LINE OF FIRE reminds me of some of the more obscure Mystic Records bands of the mid-'80s. The lyrics are belted out with an almost JERRY'S KIDZ(New Mexico) delivery and the gruff tone of the DETONATORS. The lyrics are written really straightforward and to-the-point, but still have a strong message and sound totally sincere. I can hear everything in the mix musically so the fact that the recording doesn't have the sonic intensity of some of the heavier bands these days doesn't bother me in the least. I actually find myself liking this more and more as I listen to it. This is limited to 200 copies so it may be hard to track down, but fans of raw American hardcore punk will like it. (Will Kinser)
