The other Purity Control 7" released in 2012, after the band became more of a hardcore band and less of a powerviolence band. This is my less favourite amongst the two 7"s. Limited to 550 copies: 400 on black, and 150 on white. Obviously I got the one on white.

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).

 Cool comp featuring more or less the entirety of the Toronto and Montreal hardcore scenes at the time. The comp was released at a transitional period in TOHC and half the bands on the comp had broken up by the time it was released. Still, great stuff. I believe this was limited to 500 copies.
