NI 002: VIOLENT APATHY - 11/29/81 

Along with The Fix, Necros, Negative Approach, and The Meatmen, Kalamazoo, Michigan’s Violent Apathy was one of the pioneering bands for the Michigan Hardcore Punk scene of the early 1980s. A few months after recording their contribution to the highly sought-after Midwest Hardcore compilation Process of Elimination, Violent Apathy went into the studio with Necros bass player and head honcho at Touch & Go Records Corey Rusk in the production seat and 11/29/81 contains six songs from that session. With a head full of frantic earnesty, the crazed caterwauling of Violent Apathy contained on 11/29/81 is more akin to Land Speed Record-era Husker Du than the menacing, boot-stomping sounds any of their peers from the mitten state were kicking out at the time. After lingering in the dark recesses of the internet and crusty tape collections for years, No Idols and Radio Raheem are proud as punch to team up and present this obscure and unheralded piece of Michigan Hardcore history to the underground. 

***The first 100 copies will contain three postcards of classic Violent Apathy flyers in a sealed, rubber-stamped, and numbered envelope***

PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN FOR THIS RELEASE.

THEY WILL SHIP IN OR AROUND 4/29/22.

Thank you to all the members of Violent Apathy for allowing me to release this material as well as Jeremy Dean, Eliot Muka and the Radio Raheem team.
