I don't know much about 24-7 SPYZ admittedly, I'd never checked them out prior to coming across this tape in a lot I bought off ebay. It wasn't high up on my list of tapes to transfer either, but for some reason I threw it in the deck and went for it. I was surprised at how much I dug this. I'm not one for funk metal or punk generally, but I do have a few soft spots for some of those bands, such as Faith No More, which this band reminds me a lot of. Just pure energy throughout this set too, so it was real easy for me to be stoned and hooked for the whole thing while I cleaned around the house. Glad I decided to give 'em a spin! - DH
MACABRE! I have no info on what city or venue this show took place in, if anyone knows, please let me know! All I know is that this is a soundboard from a show in Illinois. It's pretty decent sounding though, with some songs from their self titled release, their demo, and some songs that would wind up on their LP released the next year. They even do an M.O.D. cover! Not very nice there though guys, haha. If you like Macabre, hopefully you dig this as well. - DH
UPDATE: (3/04/22):
Youtube user gavin. commented with a link to another version of this show, this time a video. It's the same exact set, but listed as taking place in Chicago, though no date. So we have the date from the tape, as well as the state, and thanks to the video we know it takes place in Chicago. All we need is the venue name! Sweet! Thanks for bringing this to my attention gavin. and thanks to Reaper Metal Productions for uploading the video version. - DH
