I have currently been stuffing myself up with alot mid nineties hardcore records. Still regretting the years where I had this crazy idea to sell my entire cd collection years back. Nowadays I'm putting everything in the works to recover my cd collection again, without neglecting the vinyl side too. Thankfully I stumbled this weekend on a cheap copy of Gin Mill's "patron". Released in 1994 on the now defunct Wreck-Age Records / Exit Records hardcore label. Definitely one of my favorite record labels back then firing some of the best Long Island Hardcore scene records such as Milhouse, Motive, Sons Of Abraham, Indecision, Die 116, Bad Trip and so many more. Too bad they broke up.
Gin Mill's "patron" is a nearly forgotten mid nineties hardcore record. Six songs of progressive raw hardcore. More like raw mid nineties noisecore with influences from Black Flag to jazz and nervous breakdowns and frilling post hardcore touch. "3lt" is definitely my favorite Gin Mill song here, but I decided to post the song "worth" here, because it's the song that ultimately grabs you by the throat by some laid back post hardcore riffings exploding into a swirl of guitar noise and feedback, saxophones, fucked up agression and confusion. Chaos takes over and it's definitely a song worth checking out inbetween all the others. Actually this is an excellent record for people down with Die 116, Deadguy, early Amrep noiserock pretty experimental and wicked by times. There's not alot of information to find on Gin Mill. Definitely an overlooked noisecore band.
