Stream Classic New York Hardcore Tracks, Some Previously Unreleased, by Breakdown

Classic NYHC band gets new life.

Just goes to show that no matter how much you think you know, you don't know shit. True hardcore connoisseurs are aware of the legendary Breakdown, a band that infamously brought elements of metal to New York hardcore, released an incredible demo in their early days, and followed up said demo with another rare effort, Runnin' Scared. The latter, produced in The Loft studios in Bronxville in 1988, featured the band performing classic tracks in addition to previously unheard versions of "All I Ask" and "Hold Me Back". Now the Runnin' Scared demo as well as a WNYU session from 1989 is immortalized here as the new Runnin' Scared LP, a collection of tracks streaming for the first time below and out now for order via 540 Records / Painkiller Records. Order yours via 540 Records and Painkiller Records.
