I’ve always wished my brother and I switched so I’d be the
80’s kid and he’d be the 90’s. I wish I could have been the teenager in the 90’s
so I could be a part of that whole ear of music. Going to see bands that would
one day be legends, buying records for a couple of dollars instead of a couple
of hundreds of dollars. That’s where I wanted to be. But instead I was teen in
the 00’s, which at first sounds crappy, until I remember how awesome early 00’s
hardcore was. The decline of labels like Victory, Equal Vision didn’t matter as
much when I had labels like Bridge 9 and Youngblood. So many bands come out of
the late 90’s/early 00’s that now I look back, I’m happy to have got a chance
to discover.
One of those bands is Desperate
Measures. Pretty short lived, Desperate
Measures were a solid band through and through, and they always had solid
lyrics with solid music. I knew they had a full length out but the EP was so
much cheaper, I had to get it. It may not have been love at first listen, but
it grew on me. Shortly after I found enough money to actually get Ever Enough Time and once I did, I knew
I found a gem.
Like a lot of great albums, Ever Enough Time started off with a banger, and ended with a
banger. Not one second was a letdown. Short, Fast, Sweet and full with heartfelt
lyrics, the album had a lot of pressed into ten short songs. Not sure if this
is still in press, I’m positive you could find this somewhere at a local record
store on obviously on the internet, but I figured I’d put this up so you could
fall in love and then, track down every version of the vinyl you could get your
hands. Sucks I never got to see them live, but videos give a good idea on how
awesome they were.
