Earth Crisis / Snapcase / Strife - The California Takeover [12", LP, Picture Disc]


A classic hardcore live compilation, this picture disc by EARTH CRISIS, SNAPCASE and STRIFE. All live recordings on THE CALIFORNIA TAKEOVER are from an evening at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles on April 12th, 1996. I'm not listening to hardcore a lot these days anymore, but both Earth Crisis (for their militant and radical attitude) and Snapcase (for their catchiness and awesome guitar riffs) have always been favourite bands of mine in the genre. Both bands were really good live bands as well; seen them a couple of times. Strife has never been a personal favourite but they're certainly not bad either. The picture disc comes in a pvc sleeve with an insert, as can be seen on the picture above, and this is how the front and back respectively look like:
