BLACK FLAG — Nervous Breakdown (review)

4/5 ·
Warthur
Hardcore punk - where if it's the length of an EP you can call it an album, and if it's the length of a single you can call it an EP. So much of hardcore was shaped by the good ol' SST label, and whilst detractors of the Rollins era may wish hardcore had different founding fathers, the Black Flag showcased on Nervous Breakdown is a better foundation for the genre than we might otherwise have hoped for. Note how the EP offers a comparatively conventional song on side A (at least in terms of length) before going for a brace of three hardcore micro-songs on side B.
