ALBUM RELEASE DATE: 1988
VARIANT: Red Vinyl LP
The seventh release from the soon-to-be essential Revelation Records serves as a thrilling primer of the young, enthusiastic bands who were flooding CBGBs matinees every weekend in late-Eighties New York. While youth crew bands like Youth of Today and Gorilla Biscuits are well-represented, the comp also includes heavier bands like Sick of It All and Breakdown, crusty acts like Nausea, and even the early post-hardcore of Supertouch. If you weren’t there stage-diving in 1988, The Way It Is will make you feel like you were.
