Red Cross – 1981-1982 No Message (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Richmond's Red Cross existed at the precise moment when hardcore was finding its footing outside of California and the D.C. corridor, making documents like this genuinely rare primary sources for understanding how the sound spread and mutated through the South. Beach Impediment has spent years excavating this specific corner of American punk history, and this release fits squarely into that mission of recovering what might otherwise be lost entirely.
For starters, don't let the name fool you, this is Richmond, VA - not L.A. Coinciding with the beginning of the 1980s, the spread of punk's mutation into the harsher exertion known as hardcore punk began to spill across the continental United States. At long last, after 40+ years in obscurity, Beach Impediment is proud to present this long lost posthumous release of sorts, remastered from the original reel and accompanied by a 16 page booklet featuring extensive liner notes by surviving members Frank Gresham and Scott Price along with archival imagery related to the band and their brief but impactful existence in a sleepy southern town.
