LONGEST WINTER

I think you'd be hard pressed finding any genuine Australian hardcore kid who wouldn't be extremely fond of Melbourne's Mindsnare and their second album, "Hanged. Choked. Wrists Slit." An active unit for 20 years now, the bands have always utilised a fairly metallic sound, gradually taking on a heavier approach over the years. I've said it on here once or twice, but I've always been baffled as to why these guys haven't made a larger impact abroad. Originally pressed by Drug Bust Records in something like 2001, this is a reissue of the album pressed in the last few weeks by Midnight Funeral Records. Differing artwork, but you get a nice thick slab and a gatefold sleeve. Good stuff.
