Back then there was no choice really, not the way we were recording \u2013 two track live at\u00a0<b>Don Fury<\/b>\u2018s\u2026 NYHC style! I feel the sentiment behind the expression still holds true today, maybe even more so. That said, <em>Hardcore Lives<\/em> at least to us, is not just about a cool \u2018catchphrase\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s about that rebellious spirit that doesn\u2019t give in\u2026 in life, music, whatever. It\u2019s about growing, evolving and maintaining your integrity in the process. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>The LP is to be released on June 27th via Cricien\u2019s own\u00a0<b>The Black N Blue Label<\/b>\u00a0for the U.S. and\u00a0<b>Nuclear Blast<\/b> in Europe.
