I was searched the Internet at great depths for even a sharp of factoids about the band Heroin. Albeit, the Internet's under-under belly was mostly smegma and urine scented, but from the folds of flesh I unearthed a link that was posted about a year ago about this band. It's not the information that made me happy, Wikipedia out-linked a "wealth" slightly informative sources and its own fair share of Heroin trivia (note sarcasm) , it was the link to the Gravity Records released Discography that this blogger so willingly shared that made this such a joyous occasion. So with out further adieu, go now and learn of the wonders of Heroin.
(For best results apply directly to the forehead then read as you download.)
Speaking of early San Diego hardcore (one of my favorite subjects.. ^_^) Heroin pretty much laid a good portions of the groundwork for all the current bands that exist in the reborn emo/ screamo scene. Though back then I dont remember many of these bands being described as screamo, it is still a decent enough descriptor for the thrashy guitars, chaotic rhythms and of course, the screamy vocals...Heroin were a pummeling force and deserve recognition being that most of the member have moved on to other bands that stayed ahead of the pack. Bands such as Antioch Arrow and Clikatat Ikatowi both feature members of Heroin and were both forerunners of the second wave of bands that would lead to the more current crop of bands like Orchid.
