Here we we have a 3 song 7" which saw the light of day at the end of the so called "youth crew era" in the USA in 1990.There were some connections to bands like Chain of Strength and Circle Storm memberwise and also in the musical style.
Okay the first song is pretty mellow and melodic (in the vain of the first Shades Apart LP perhaps - I have to listen to this again) but song 2 and 3 pick up the pace and have more of a traditional hardcore structure/approach.
On the later released stuff the band got more melodic and less fast so I sticked to this 7".
It's like Ian Mackaye (in his Embrace days) took some practice sessions with the guys from Inside Out and End to End.A lot of emotions shine through in the vocal department but the speed (not your "all over the top/let's play as fast as we can/fuck it all up" type of fast,more your average upper hardcore tempo) and power are gladly not deglected.
There's also a cd version from Revelation/Ambassador Records floating around which i lately bought.From that i took the 3 song because they sounded better compared to my vinyl rips....buha!Said cd contains 8 songs,5 studio cuts and 3 live songs.
If you ask for my advice (...) the 7" version is way better because beside being on vinyl the other stuff by Statue is more midtempo post rock/quicksandish/emo/indie stuff.
As a small but important remark it seems strange to me to name ones 7" "Something to say" and then include no lyric sheet...At least my copy doesn't have one.Does yours?
