Lava

Lava were a five-piece hardcore/emo band from Baltimore, Maryland that were around in 1992. They put out a 4-song 7" on Gravity Records, becoming the 2nd release ever put out by the label (following Heroin's 7"). Sonically, it bears some comparisons to their label contemporaries, such as Heroin and Antioch Arrow. Don't get me wrong, this is a solid EP in and of itself, those comparisons are just a good jumping off point to get an idea of what you're in for. Notably, this band is one of guitarist Tonie Joy's many projects (others include Moss Icon, Universal Order Of Armageddon, and The Great Unraveling). This is a cool historical document and a great 7". There also appears to be a demo cassette that was released on Vermin Scum, but I can't find any trace of it having made its way on to the internet. If anyone's got any info on that, please do send it over! Enjoy.
