STRAIGHT AHEAD – Self-Titled [Vinyl 12"]

Revelation Records proudly presents the first official reissue of New York hardcore legends Straight Ahead. Featuring members of Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front, Youth Of Today, and Rest In Pieces, the band played a crucial role in shaping the NYHC sound of the mid-1980s.

Straight Ahead’s earliest recordings appeared in 1986 on the iconic “End The Warzone” 7" compilation alongside Attitude Adjustment, Larm, and Pillsbury Hardcore. In 1987, the band released the “Breakaway” EP, produced by Chuck Valle (Murphy’s Law, Ludichrist), offering a slightly more refined but equally intense sound.

This expanded 20-track collection has been fully remastered and includes five previously unreleased studio and live recordings. The release captures the raw energy, unity, and urgency that defined classic New York hardcore.

Straight Ahead deliver fast, direct, and uncompromising hardcore rooted in youth crew energy, making this reissue an essential piece of hardcore history.
