Compassionate chugging? Lincoln’s first (best?) 7:

This week Jason and Joshua dissect one of the great mysteries of early 90’s hardcore: Lincoln’s “Union” 7" on Watermark Records. Heavy but not metal, melodic but not emo, this was a singular release by a band that would do a hard 180 within the next year and build their legend upon their later releases. But “Union” is an all-time great record and utterly confounding. We try to unpack what’s happening on this record, as well as talk about 90’s graphic design, Syracuse hardcore fliers and the strange connection that between this and Earth Crisis’ “Firestorm” 7" that came out at exactly the same moment as “Union”.
