STRAIN – Driven/Second Coming 7″

The second 7″ by STRAIN, first they put out in Europe, after their debut on Overkill Records.

I’m traditionally a fan of 8-song Hardcore EPs, but this is single with almost 10 minutes of sound, and great at this. “Driven” is such a hit and still works after all those years.

Incredible but true that they toured Europe for the first time on two 7″s! Live they were such a steamroller every time. Good memories.
