DAG NASTY — “Can I Say” LP
OK, so this album’s a little old, but I cannot stress how good it is. Whatever ignorant jerks announce, all-knowingly, “hardcore has not talent” should be forced to listen to this band. With ex-MINOR THREAT Brian Baker and DAG NASTY being a DC band, I expected a lot, and received it. And much more. Very diversified, hard-hitting music, which great, depressing personal lyrics which, unfortunately, I can relate to all too easily. Ten great tracks come together to make “Can I Say” a must for any hardcore fan. A visually beautiful album also. (DISCHORD RECORDS) [MICKEY]
