Policy of 3 - Anthology LPx2

Available on LPx2

Policy of 3 was one of the great melodic hardcore bands from the mid 1990s (in the late '80s and early '90s they were known as Matter of Fact). Their sound was passionate and compelling with a sound that was cutting edge at a time when the late 1980s Dischord harD.C.ore sound was thriving and mutating. This style of emotive and melodic hardcore was resonating all across the world; It was all about passion, anger, intensity and authenticity... the intensity of aggression was easily matched by the intensity of passion. This was long before emo was considered a genera, and long before emo became entangled with frivolous and mainstream indie rock. Policy of 3 helped to define this '90s sound/genera and this release is an amazing testament to one of the great passionate hardcore bands from that time. This new vinyl release is a split between Ebullition Records and Protagonist Records. 500 made. (Ebullition Records #54.5/Protagonist Records #113)

Available on CDx2 (currently sold out)

Policy of 3 was one of the great (emo) hardcore bands of the late '80s and early '90s. Their sound was passionate and compeling with a sound that was cuttinge edge at the time; heavily influenced by the late '80s Dischord hardcore sound. At the time emotive hardcore was something new and exciting. It was all about passion, anger, and was really just another aspect of hardcore... long before emo was turned into frivolous pop punk. This double CD anthology captures all of their studio material (17 tracks) as well as 6 live tracks recorded in Germany in 1995 (a couple of which have never been heard before). Policy of 3 helped to define this sound/genera and this release is an amazing testament to one of the great hardcore bands from that time.

The CD comes in a gatefold jacket that was hand screened on chipboard, and there is a nice insert booklet included with lyrics and info about the band.
