I Selected Every Song at Sugar Mom's, I Waited, Never to be Played

I saw a video clip on Beavis and Butthead.

I decided to buy the album.

With research. It lead me to Revelation Records. As a scene. More than just a label.

The purchase. An indirect influence on my becoming "straight edge."

The first release to really separate hardcore from punk rock. A whole other world. Subset. Genre.

It isn't even a hardcore record.

Quicksand - Slip. ???

    you know, back in the day, I would go to shows at the Y on Levittown Parkway, and it never failed: you could always hear one of the bands play either "Start Today" from the Gorilla Biscuits, "No Spiritual Surrender" by Inside Out or "Slip" by Quicksand.

    They never thought I was funny for yelling for "Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen.

    You could have yelled for "Right Now."

    I recall seeing these guys a couple of times back in '93/'94. They similarly served as a gateway band for me.
