Lie and Wait / OVERDOSE - Split

Listen: Lie & Wait or Overdose
Location: Texas / Atlanta, USA
Release: Triple B + Team Science Recs, 2007


I really like these 2 bands, a great split that also represents one of the first releases from the now acclaimed Triple-B records. The same label put out later both their full-lengths: "Led Astray" by Lie and Wait and "Under Pressure" by Overdose.

Lie and Wait called it quits a while ago and Overdose kids now play at Foundation sensation. 


For fans of Ringworm, Integrity / Murder Weapon, Buried Alive
