Price Of Silence

POS frontPOS backlabel scan

Price Of Silence was a Hardcore Punk group from South Australia.
This is their self titled 10" that came out on their own label and distribution company Spiral Objective.
I picked this up from Phantom Records in Pitt Street in 1995 when it dropped for the measly price of $9.
What you get is 9 songs of brutal hardcore. Tackling issues about everything from Homophobia to truth in the media, and protecting the planet.
Back in the day POS and anything with a Spiral Objective stamp on it were like seals of approval. You could happily pick any release unheard and know that it was dope.
Spiral Objective were responsible for distributing both Australian and overseas hardcore, anarchist and punk records,books, and zines all over Australia and in the days of preinternet were instrumental in pushing the scene forward.
I've ripped the whole 10" because this is well out of print and i want to share this piece of history with you.
This is going out for all the hardcore kids i knew back in the day. You know who you are.
