Friends Family Forever

I remember being thoroughly impressed with Boston's DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR opening a show for FULL BLOWN CHAOS and AGNOSTIC FRONT, as well as thinking that I really must pick up an album. I never did end up with a release from the hardcore savages, so getting a re-issue of the band's first EP is a .....
