The Proletariat "Soma Holiday" LP

Over 40 years since it's original release, "Soma Holiday" is one of the most unique records to come out of the US HC scene.

In 1983, The Proletariat's debut Soma Holiday was a shocker - while American hardcore punk was becoming more generic, The Proletariat unleashed something strikingly original. The album's opening is a call to arms: the primitive, militaristic bass guitar and drums are sliced with razor-sharp guitar dissidence and vocals full of spit and bite. Avant-garde while remaining tuneful, their debut is considered one of the most brilliant albums to come out the early 80's American hardcore scene. For fans of angular punk like Gang of Four and Pop Group. Highly recommended!
