Im sure there are a ton of title fight posts on the blog sphere about this record. I dont know what it is but this band literally blew the fuck up. I had ignored them for a long time after kingston came out. I dont know what it was but i kinda just wrote them off. Talking to my friend Keith at a Blue Scholars show a month back he explained to me that the band really matured and that i would probably like them now. I always trust his reccomendations so i downloaded Floral Green and yep, i like it. I Knew i was too late to get a copy on color vinyl, so i settled for the regular black press which i purchased from Generation.
Pretty cool, this LP has a heavy dude sleeve that slides up to reveal a gatefold lp with lyrics printed on the inside. One of the more creative packagings i've seen.
Fights at hardcore shows are inevitable, Everyone is already angry, just one thing can set it off, pun intended. One of the bigger fights ive seen was actually at a title fight show out east. This was before anything was out besides Kingston. Title Fight was on and it was a very small bar that did not allow any kind of crowd climbing. Being the connection TF has with LI, everyone was going nuts and of course climbing. I believe one of the security guards grabbed someone in dog pound by the neck and tried to pull him out the side door. This led to a ton of people fighting with the security guards. Someone threw one of those plastic outdoor chairs at the guard and there were definlitly people crowd climbing to get to the fight. Unfortnatley that ended the show and Cold World did not get to play.
