So many kids in the 90s (usually kids who weren't in bands) used to make fun of European hardcore bands...I never really understood why. So many killer bands came out of Europe, especially the H-8000 area in the mid to late 90s. Germany's Spawn put a slew of great releases including "Redone", their lone full length on Crucial Response Records in 1995. A little different than what CR had released previously but they were rolling with the punches and going with what kids were into at the time. Good chunky hardcore that reflected the time. I know they did a split with Despair but honestly, they sounded quiet a bit like them. Vocally, the dude sounds like Ian MacKaye to me..but that's just what I hear. The one negative was that the damn CD came in one of those awful cardboard sleeves that labels loved to release back then. Seriously glad that trend went out the window...
Anyway, this shirt was printed up by the label for the release of the record. To be quite honest, I don't remember where I picked this up but Ebay would be a safe bet. Great color combination featuring the colorway from the record cover...not sure if this was printed on any other colors but it works so well on navy.
In case you missed it a few years back, I've just re-upped "Redone" and included scans of the layout and lyrics sheet. You can find that by clicking here: Spawn - Redone

Well the New Age release was only 6 songs but I think it was released as a 12 inch...so you're guess is as good as mine as to whether it was considered an LP or not.
