Jailcell Recipes: Artifacts For An Empty Tank World (Vinyl LP)
Tax included.
It’s perhaps the last untold chapter in the story of the rapidly-detonating, late 80’s UK Hardcore scene. Often overlooked in favour of their contemporaries, this re-mastered/re-modeled retrospective collection of songs finally puts the record straight, giving them the recognition they deserve. It showcases the band’s importance within that scene and throws light on their unique standpoint and their growth over a 4 year period.
This release is not intended as a discography, rather a selected ‘strongest hand’ from between the years 1988 to 1992. It features the definitive line up of Robbie Reid (vocals), Jamie Owen (guitar), Dave Arnold (bass) and Ian Barwick (drums).
It's a game of two halves, the faster, straight ahead hardcore styling’s make up side one (practically the entire first album recorded in 1988) whilst the more melodic, mid-tempo material completes the set on the flipside - Robbie's unmistakable vocals being the constant throughout that makes it all work, he provided the band with a unique identity. Side two closes with previously unreleased studio tracks from 1992. Virtually unheard until now, we believe these final three tracks to be amongst their best.
Largely down to a relentless run of gigs back in their heyday, Jailcell Recipes gained a strong reputation for being an exciting and energetic ‘live’ hardcore band, playing with Bad Brains, All, Gorilla Biscuits and including tours with Youth Of Today (1989), Green Day (1991) Naked Raygun (1988). It’s the 35th Anniversary of the release of their first album Energy In An Empty Tank World and after all these years, we finally have the recorded output to match the ‘live’ performance.
