Purity Control - Adjusting

Year: 2012
Label: Self-Released

Tracks:

1. Dear Life
2. Insect Politics
3. Swallowing

4. Light Pollution
5. Mock Suicide
6. Gag Order







Here's the one of two 7"s Purity Control released in 2012, shortly before they broke up. Purity Control started off around 2009 as the lone powerviolence band in Toronto's USHC-ridden scene. Their first demo is still one of my favourite powerviolence demos ever, and their second demo is equally impressive. Following the first two demos, the band changed the lineup pretty significantly, and became more of a hardcore band as opposed to doing more straight forward powerviolence. The band's two 7"s reflect this later sound and were disappointing to those who were into the band's earlier sound more. This is still a solid 7" though, and is limited to 313 copies, with another test press version limited to 45 and sold at the record release show (pictured on the right).
