Face Value

Description   Just about every great Cleveland hardcore band from 1988 onward revolved around Tony Erba or Dwid. Prior to stints in H-100’s and 9 Shocks Terror (and Smog Veil acts Stepsister and Amps2Eleven), Tony Erba delivered the goods with Face Value. The band played a defining role in the hardcore scene of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, turning out furious tunes at breakneck tempos and whipping crowds nationwide into a fine froth before calling it quits in 1993. This career spanning retrospective containing 31 songs plus an insane Region 0 DVD of various live performances, photos and whatnot proves once again that you can’t go wrong with Cleveland. Artwork by crazed BMX bandit Ryan Humphrey. 'Cleveland's finest needs no introduction in DIY hardcore, from the first generation Clevo-core of FACE VALUE to his place in the rise of chaotic, volatile hardcore in the 90's. When the Kids were sitting cross-legged on VFW Hall floors, Erba & Co. were throwing hammers at them with bands like H100s and 9 SHOCKS TERROR. Erba saved my life, showed me a lot of really sick snuff, and once staple gunned a hat to my head.' –Chris Colohan, High Anxiety NOTE: THIS ITEM SHIPS ON NOVEMBER 17, 2009.   Details   SKU: SV82 Artist: Face Value Format: CD/DVD Price: $ 17.99   Add to Cart
