USE TO ABUSE - SCREAM FOR ANOTHER WAY 10"

their SCREAM FOR ANOTHER WAY 10" was the vinyl debut of USE TO ABUSE and sounds way different (I admit I'm tempted to write better instead of different) than anything they did later. I'm not 100% sure but I think the tracks have been recorded while they still had the original 3-piece line up but they changed members before it was released. either way the music here is no shitty PUNK'N'ROLL (even though Harry already had that style 10 years before it became cool) but melodic PUNK/HARDCORE that you most likely will never forget after you heard it cause of the unique voice of vocalist Harry. it was released on COLD SWEAT RECORDS which Mike started just to release this 10". I think he did a print-run of 500 copies which all came on purple vinyl.

USE TO ABUSE - FOREVER DEMO 1995

here we got USE TO ABUSE's demo tape from 1995 which was called FOREVER. way back then they were just the 3-piece as which they originally started: Max (GROWING MOVEMENT, NIPPER, etc.) on drums, Fratz (HULK RÄCKORZ) on bass and Harry (= USE TO ABUSE) on guitar/vocals as he is still today. well, these days he just handles the vocals if I'm not mistaken. I'm not really sure what the current state of the art in case of USE TO ABUSE is as I lost my interest in them when they started to go for a more ROCK'N'ROLL influenced sound.
