“F**kin finally. My tape player doesn’t work. And I ain’t gettin a new one. I’ve missed so much good s**t. My record player works..but these fu**in kids and their tapes..I get it. It’s cheap. It’s easy. And most importantly, they’re doing it themselves. But I need records, man. And here it is. They finally fu**in did it. These dudes’ve played in so many different kick ass bands in the LA area I can’t even count. Putting on their own shows, making their own s**t, playing the f**k out of it every time they get the chance. And now this. They all came together and put a name to it. Stamp this in one in the history books and have a platter of goodness to remember it by. I love this kind of s**t. DIY, punk rock, rowdy motherf**kers. Light yourself on fire type s**t. Broken glass type s**t. Back alley, underground, if you know you know type s**t..as it should be..fu**in finally.”
- Mike Lohrman (The Stitches)

“Local heroes HOT LOAD don’t disappoint with this ripping debut. Fans of RAW POWER, ENGLISH DOGS, POISON IDEA and even old school metal like TANK will probably dig this. but really those are just references, HOT LOAD is doing their own thing and it rules.”
- Jesse Michael (Operation Ivy)

“A raging debut by these hometown antiheroes. True rockers, champions of excess. Sonically, the bastard mutant child of bands like Poison Idea, Motorhead, Battalion of Saints, & Warfare if they’d been abandoned on the streets of Japan. Real “kick someone’s head off/cut your own head off” music. When Jerry A said he’s got a date with the devil... this band is that devil. And they’re meeting you halfway in a fu**in tank!”
- Mexi Mike (Section H8)

This month Going Underground Records turns 24 Years Old. Thank you for all of the support.
