REINFORCE - Happy Teenagers Do Not Paint Their Rooms Black!

Location: North Carolina
Release: Mendit Records, 2001 (out of print)


Its been a while I wanted to upload this, so to begin this year's posts I chose a posi band, Reinforce.


Heavily inspired by 7 Seconds, they released one demo (back in '96 I believe), 2 EP's and the "Happy Teenagers..." full-lenght in 2001. Even though the LP is more poppy than the previous ones, it remains as my favourite. 15 tracks of catchy hardcore punk produced by Mr. Roger Miret out on Mendit Records that has closed long ago.


On that same very year some of these guys began a new project, The First Step.


REINFORCE WAS:
GUITAR - THE HARD EDGE
VOICE - J-FORCE
BASS - CHUNKS MCNABB
DRUMS - THE WIZARD
