CHANNEL 3 – FEAR OF LIFE (200 GR)

Channel 3 emerged from the Southern California hardcore punk explosion of the early 1980s. Fear of Life, their freshman debut, became instantly popular within the scene after its release in 1982 on Posh Boy Records. Energetic in its approach to themes of political and personal unrest and dissatisfaction, Fear of Life explores a darker, albeit less ironic and more straight-forward side of idealism than some of its contemporaries, and unleashes this angst over an earnest, hard-driving delivery, creating the terrific synergy of Mike Magrann and Kimm Gardener. One of the more important musical statements of 1982, Drastic is pleased to reissue this hardcore classic. For fans of Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Agent Orange, T.S.O.L.
