Universally recognized as the first straight-edge \nband, SSD’s (Society System Decontrol) 1982 debut The Kids Will Have \nTheir Say is considered a landmark release for hardcore music. However, \nmany fans consider their 1983 sophomore effort Get It Away to be the \nband’s most crucial release. Most notable is the addition of guitarist \nFrancois Levesque who joined the classic lineup of the “Boston Crew”: \nGuitarist Al Barile, vocalist David “Springa” Spring, bassist Jaime \nSciarappa and drummer Chris Foley. Another dramatic shift for Get It \nAway was the improved recording quality of this recording. While The \nKids Will Have Their Say was recorded during multiple session on 8-track\n recorders, Get It Away was recorded on 24-tracks at Downtown Studios in\n Boston and produced by Mike Bastarche and Lou Giordano (the latter of \nwhom would go on to work with everyone from Hüsker Dü to the Goo Goo \nDolls). “It was much more organized as far as the sessions went and we \nwere more prepared,” Foley explains. The result is a seven-song \ncollection, including a cover of the Buzzcocks’ “No Reply,” that finally\n captured the veracity of the band’s legendary live performances. “When I\n listen back, it sounds like the vinyl can barely hold all the sound,” \nhe adds. That said, Get It Away isn’t an easy release to describe—and \nthe fact that hardcore didn’t exist yet allowed the band to approach \naggressive music in a way that didn’t sound like anyone else. From the \ndistortion-drenched groove of the opener “Glue” to the blistering chaos \nof “Under The Influence” and the avant-tinged experimentation of \n“Xclaim,” Get It Away effortlessly captures a moment of Boston at a time\n before the scene was codified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Get It Away is the result of five people and a confluence\n of circumstances that had to come together in a very specific way in \norder to create this sonic document. “I think sometimes the arc of a \nband intersects with the arc of public taste and you have a moment,” \nFoley says. “Whether it’s the cover art by Pushead (Metallica, Septic \nDeath) or the pictures of us playing at CBGB on the back or maybe it’s \njust how unique we sounded in 1983. I think for some people it captured a\n moment in time.” Sciarappa adds, “When we were kids doing this stuff, I\n don’t remember thinking about future relevance. I’ve got to admit it’s \npretty cool nowadays to hear how much the album meant to them and many \nhave it in their top five hardcore albums of all-time, which is a nice \ncompliment.” Following the 2023 reissue of The Kids Will Have Their Say,\n Trust Records is set to re-release Get It Away on vinyl July 19 and \nacross digital platforms for the first time ever. It features remastered\n audio of these songs by Dan Johnson at Audio Archiving Studios and \nimmaculate deluxe packaging – the Trust Records touch. The album has \nbeen out of print for almost three decades and is massively in demand \namongst the band’s rabid fan base – this is the first officially \nsanctioned repress of the album since its initial pressing back in 1983.\n Whether Get It Away is already one of your favorite albums or you’re \nhearing it for the very first time, this is the definitive version of \none of hardcore’s most important releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Lord Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56595558203718,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2300\/6790\/files\/5308-SSD-Get-It-Away-LP.jpg?v=1778920421","url":"https:\/\/selfmadegod-store.com\/products\/ssd-get-it-away-lp-black-clear-blue-w-flexi","provider":"Selfmadegod Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
