Description

Vinyl records London dig this New Anniversary Vinyl Records LP Vinyl by American Nightmare. American Nightmare039s 34Year One34 collection on 180 gram vinyl for its 25th anniversary. Available again for the first time in decades. Originally released in 2001, the Boston hardcore bands 25th anniversary release of 34Year One34 pays tribute to their formative years. This collection unites their first two 7s, originally released by Bridge 9 Records founder and thenroommate Chris Wrenn, on a 180gram LP, with all tracks recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City. Originally designed by Jake Bannon Converge, this edition has been reimagined by Del Jae Futurismo Records and singer Wesley Eisold, and comes packaged in a gatefold with an insert of handwritten lyrics and collaged images. 34Year One34 doesnt just celebrate a milestone it reaffirms American Nightmares enduring legacy. Their music raised the bar for emotional depth in hardcore, adding a distinctly poetic and existential lyrical approach that set them apart and changed the rules of the scene, paving the way for countless bands that followed. The result was something harder, darker, and more emotionally resonant than anything the scene had yet produced. They pushed hardcore into uncharted territory, borrowing influences from youth crew, street punk, and even the aesthetics of the late90s mod revival and Britpop subcultures. The fusion created a new blueprintfast, traditional hardcore delivered with dire, venomous lyrics that demanded a visceral crowd response. Their impact was immediate, and their influence continues to reverberate. Twentyfive years later, the venom still cuts as deep.
