Product Details

88 FINGERS LOUIE (USA) - Behind Bars (sealed LP copy) (2024) Re-issued by Hopeless Records on RED vinyl - limited to 700 copies - This is the 30th Anniversary Edition. This is the band's proper debut full-length studio album originally released back in 1995.

The first thing I noticed listening to the record is how tight the band is. This is a band with members who know how to play their instruments. The album is full of pauses, pace changes and other interesting dynamics and these guys never miss a beat.
They also sound incredibly thick for a band with only one guitar player. Dan Wleklinski, aka " Mr. Precision, " puts on a great show here. There is a lot more going on than just power chords and octave chords that so many bands of this style from this time period relied on.
The drumming is competent, even if you never here anything especially amazing, and fits in perfectly with the rest of the band. I especially enjoy Joe Principe's bass playing on this record--he was one of the better bass players in '90s Punk and still is today with Rise Against 15 years later.
Denis Buckley does a good job of carrying this record vocally. He always had a unique style and I have always enjoyed listening to him sing. There are well-placed harmonies throughout the record, but he doesn't rely on them and really holds his own as one of the better vocalists in '90s Punk Rock.
The production on this record is great. The new 2019 "Mr. Precision Mix" is perfect and it sounds organic. The guitar and bass sound thick, the drums are booming, and the vocals fit nicely on top.
If you are at all a fan of '90s Punk or Melodic Hardcore, or if you've only checked out Back on the Streets (like most of my punker friends), then listen to this album. It's solid all the way through with no filler and you won't be disappointed.
Besides, this is the first full-length from guys who would eventually bring you Rise Against, and I know a lot of people love Rise Against. -- Hopeless Records – HR2596-1
