Another discography CD brought to us by everyone's favorite label, LOST & FOUND! There are tons of cool stuff on their back catalog for sure, 80's and 90's hardcore bands hailing from USA and Europe. For me, Lost & Found marks the transition between the tape trading and the mp3 era, they granted access to rare and essential music for cheap to kids worldwide sometimes through shady ways.
Nowadays anyone can become an expert in a genre of music in matter of days, less than 2 decades ago it was way different, posers were easily detected from miles away. That's why I always feel nostalgic when such labels as Lost & Found, We Bite or Conversion Records are mentioned.
BREAKAWAY was a NorCal positive punk band that started as RABID LASSIE in 1985, with the name change they also shifted their sound slightly, fitting properly in the second wave of U.S. Straight Edge bands, THE '88 SOUND!
They recorded 2 self-titled EPs: first one came out in 1988 on SOUL FORCE RECORDS (#2), the second one in 1993 by TEAMWORK RECORDS (T-1), a label I was obsessed with back in the late 90's. The demo stated on discogs is kinda tricky, it happened right when they switched names, some of these songs were re-recorded for the first EP, that's why the demo tracks don't show up on this CD.
