Die Kreuzen – October File (Clear/Red/Black LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Milwaukee's Die Kreuzen were ahead of nearly every curve that mattered. By the time *October File* arrived in 1988, they had already outgrown the hardcore scene that claimed them, pushing toward something heavier, slower, and more psychedelic than their peers were willing to follow. Touch and Go gave them the room to do it, and they didn't waste it.
Formed in 1981 by two Rockford, Illinois, and two Brookfield, Wisconsin, natives in the midpoint of Milwaukee, Die Kreuzen (pronounced dee kroyt-zen) chose their name specifically to avoid stereotyping because ""no one knows what it means. 'Die Kreuzen' roughly translates out of German meaning 'to intersect' or 'to hybridize,' which is exactly what they did on their five LP's for Touch and Go. Their self titled debut is considered one of the most seminal hardcore records of the early 80's. As far as October File is concerned, remember that flannel shirt movement in the 90's? This is what those guys were listening to.
