Decay

Back in the House

Suburban Home

‘88-style hardcore from Japan?!? Now that’s rich. And so is Decay, said Japanese hardcore band. Emblazoning the slogan “No Rules, No Bullshit, No Violence” across its insert sheet, Decay lets the kids know where it’s coming from… and may I remind you that that’s Japan? Methinks Decay saw Sick of it All play not too long ago (definitely not ‘88) and thought, “stupid Americans! We can do that shit, too!” And they did. Yeah, and you think Massonna’s weird…
