RIP Eric

back in the 80s there was not a lot of love between metalheads and punk rockers. This was one tape you could put on that everybody would agree on.

Remember seeing at Dirty Neily in Palatine

I still have this on cassette.

I knew Jim Botts that played drums for them in I think about 89 or 90 in Algonquin Illinois. I worked with him too.

Got this 7 from you dudes, at a show in Grand Rapids Mi...early 90's, year ? or an Icepick show a year or so later, I think. The musicianship was, and is, incredible.

I'm the 1,000 like. I saw them in 86 or 87 cbgbs w underdog and I think half life. Great stuff love it

One of greatest hardcore punk records of late 80’s flawless makes me feel like a teenager again

I thought this was Uniform Choice at first..autoplay

They opened for DRI on a tour for which I had a band I managed that I got to open the bill. I think it was 1986 for DRI's "Crossover" tour, and it was B'ham or Huntsville, AL.

I want to say i saw them with the cromags in 1983 Baltimore Buy not sure

The band I roadied for played w/ Life Sentence, The Herb Tarlicks & Poison Idea @ Gilman St. Project in 1988... great show. I became a Life Sentence fan that day.

Thanks for your music! You were one of my favorite band. Even if my life has slowed down, your music is following me!

Saw life at zodiac club probably 1991

Minor threat influence 4 Sure

Whole album rules but man that first song Problems!

Never seen them live in Germany. Heared this amazing Sound first time in the late 80ies. It's still fresh and pure Dynamic!

I remember seeing them with Broken Bones at a show in Milwaukee circa 1986 was amazing show

Sick as fuck

Still got this on cassette with Attitude Adjustment :)

Classic, Joe was a friend in high school 😂

When was this recorded?

HARDCORE

Eric B Rockman, awesome guitar! Tom excellent drumming!

Oi seen them 86 in Naptown with lost cause

really wished this were a 7" with just Problems, Punks for Profit, In the Streets and Take a Stand ...ALL KILLER/NO FILLER

Éric brecht (drummer) brother from Kurt (DRI) was fabulous with the drummer and all the band very great (old school).

R.I.P. Eric B. My Chitown Homie. It's Election Day here in Ca and I was looking for that song. This entire LP will have to do.

It's kinda out of control how insanely good this is and it literally never gets old.

From 1990 when I first found this on cassette, it has been one of my all-time favorite punk albums, remaining so even after an ex girlfriend got hold of it two years later (along with a couple others) and proceeded to destroy it. It's proven damned near impossible to replace years later. So glad I can find it on TH-cam!

Solid intro. This is perfect example of hardcore sound!

Wow haven't heard this in 25 plus years.....

By and large Chicago punk isn’t all that great but these guys and Naked Raygun are exceptional. Life Sentence is extremely underrated.

Apparently i've seen these guys, i found a stub to a gig. I dont really remember, so many gigs back in the day. great times.

they remind me a lot to genetic control from canada.

LOVED this album! Hi Eric, wherever you are!!

Greatest punk band from Riverside, California nobody has ever heard of...

Saw them in chicago in 89

This entire album is the epitome of Punk Rock. And living in Chicagoland, I was lucky enough to see them play quite a few times. They would let my buddy, Mike Goode, get on stage and sing PUNKS FOR PROFIT a couple times. Man, I miss those days 😔 Anyways, the reason why I started to comment was to see if anyone out there has the lyrics to IN THE STREETS??? If so, could you post them in a reply to this comment, please? I don't believe the original albums or cassettes came with the lyrics because if they did, I'd know every single word to this very day, as often as I played this album. It was kinda weird the way I even bought their cassette in the first place back in 1987. I was on vacation with my family down in Florida back in the days when southern Florida was one huge party during Spring Break. And that's where we were and that's when it was. Spring Break of 1987. I was only 14 years old but I was able to sneak off and party with some of the high school and college kids. During one of the days while we were there, I went into a record shop that was in this strip mall. It was one of those corporate record shops you'd find in the malls like Camelot Records or Musicland or some other such crappy music store. Well, back then even all the corporate record stores had some decent Punk and Metal albums. I LOVED looking at all those cassettes and LPS back then: 7 Seconds, GBH, Septic Death, The Exploited, Circle Jerks, Slayer, Celtics Frost, Anthrax, etc. Well, this place had........ NOTHING!!! And I'm not exaggerating one bit. I mean, they didn't even have a Metallica album!?!? I was never a fan of Metallica but what kind of record store didn't even stock Metallica back in 1987?!?!?! But then I saw this bright red cassette spine blaring out from all the others and when I picked it up, I was so surprised to see that it was LIFE SENTENCE!!! I had heard of them being from Chicago but I never heard any of their tunes or saw them in concert or knew much about them, other than they were from Chicago. So, of course I bought it along with a PINK FLOYD "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" cassette. Crazy combo, right? Well, I played the LIFE SENTENCE first and I wasn't all that impressed. It was alright but I was expecting much more out of it. Later on I popped in the Pink Floyd and I instantly realized that the batteries in my headphones were low, as I was already familiar with DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. So, it suddenly dawned on me that I was listening to the LIFE SENTENCE cassette with low batteries!?!?!? Ha!!! So, I popped in some fresh new batteries and then tried the LIFE SENTENCE cassette again and HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blew me away from beginning to end. Ha!!! And this album has certainly aged very well, as it still blows me away all these years later.

These guys ripped it up. Such a perfect hardcore album. Thank you for sharing.

I still have this on tape natas used to skate to this

Anyone there in 80’s in Chicago?

Wish you could take off the eighties drum sheen. would love to hear dry drums on this

Gnarly

Riverside punk. Fuck yes.

15 minutes is not an "album". It's an EP.
