Hardcore and punk has historically been known to find its inspirations in the worst of situations. Hell, they are even bragged about. There is a reason that the best hardcore existed in the Reagan era, and is even identified as Reagan Era Hardcore. Fast forward to the modern day. A time of depression and isolation. A time where the punks of the world have had to find different ways to tap into the necessities of their creativity. The day of the solo recording project is upon us. Covid Era Punk. What began out of a necessity by many to maintain some semblance of sanity has seemed to encourage the creative types to step out of their comfort zone and push their own personal boundaries. Thanks to these reasons, we now have BAD ANXIETY, solo project of Hampton Martin, King of Hattiesburg, Mississippi DIY Punk. As the dust settles and the world prematurely crawls back to normal, many of the aforementioned projects have continued and morphed into full bands. Cream of the crop, however, just may be BAD ANXIETY!
This debut vinyl output contains 10 tracks originally released on two separate demo tapes by Earth Girl Tapes, ran by Hampton himself. A one-time pressing of 400 copies.
Co-release between Feral Kid Records (US) and Refuse Records (EU).
