1991 was a good year..

I've got two for you here today. Since I seem to be stuck on 91 lately, I'll start with 411's LP, This Isn't Me.

Released on Workshed records, this, the band's only LP, was a great piece of melodic hardcore. Featuring Dan O'Mahony (No For An Answer, Speak 714, Carry Nation, John Henry Holiday) on vocals, Mario Rubalcaba (Rocket From The Crypt and skateboarding legend) on drums, and Kevin Murphy (Farside).

In 1984 Black Flag put out an LP titled Family Man. The A side featured some Henry Rollins spoken word, while the B side contained four mainly instrumental tracks except for Armageddon Man. The B side is amazing, featuring a Black Flag line-up coming into it's own, feeling their way into the almost free-jazz style that they showed on The Process Of Wedding Out. The A side on the other hand, showcases some of Hank's more juvenile attempts at beat poetry. They come off as a struggling attempt at intellectualism, something that comes from him quite easily later in his career. The lyrics to the aforementioned song however make up for his lackluster performances on the other side of the record.
