Limited Coloured Vinyl Reissue
Futurismo are thrilled to present a reissue of "Give Thanks", the long out-of-press 1984 hardcore classic by Articles Of Faith. Originally released in 1984, the debut LP "Give Thanks" by Chicago hardcore legends Articles Of Faith is proof a hardcore record can be both political and poetic. Fuelled by rage, introspection, and a musical progression that could be seen as a blueprint for what would later become known as post-hardcore, this album ticks every box you want from a record of the era: intense, emotive, scathing, unpredictable, all topped off by the masterful production of Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü/Sugar). A demonstration in raw emotion and political angst, "Give Thanks" harnesses a sound that could have only happened during the Reagan era. Hardcore was of course a musical explosion built upon aggression and discontent, yet "Give Thanks" forcefully fuses this concept of raw power with a multitude of musical influences at a time when some of their contemporaries perhaps seemed to tread water. This record has an authentic Chicago savvy running through it, effortlessly projecting a street level tone whilst simultaneously aiming to show the possibilities of what a hardcore record could be.
