San Diego’s Heroin have been one of the pioneers of the ’90’s underground, punk/hardcore community since their inception. The band disbanded after releasing their first seven-inch in 1991. During that small span of time, the band influenced countless post-hardcore and screamo bands of that era and into today. The band have recently released their extensive discography on Southern Lord.
The band share their thoughts:
“Heroin was a product of our time and our youth, so I’m sure we would be unrecognizable if we kept putting out records for 30 years… I think our overall spirit could be relevant today because our lyrics and message were mostly existentialist observations and kind of just poetry,”
According to the press release:
“Southern Lord revealed the band’s long-awaited discography exclusively for Record Store Day last April. The extensive discography contains all of the Heroin’s out-of-print seven-inches and 12-inches, compilation tracks, as well as the session the band recorded at the infamous Inner Ear Studios in Washington, D.C., and never-before-heard unreleased songs. A double LP Gatefold ‘tip on’ jacket is beautifully packaged with a special zine with tons of photos and liner notes by Sonny Kay.”
