Killswitch Engage Jesse Leach has recently shared his rendition of ‘Salad Days’ by Minor Threat via Revolver Magazine.
It is taken from Bridge Nine Records’ accompanying covers compilation for the restored version of ‘xXx Fanzine (1983-88) Hardcore & Punk in the Eighties’.
The 12″ compilation features the likes of letlive., The Riverboat Gamblers and more covering songs from that era in hardcore/punk. The collection itself is comprised of articles, reviews and photographs from the Boston based 80’s hardcore/punk zine. It not only restores such articles from that era, but also comes with a “then and now” perspective i.e. re-interviewing the bands who were originally interviewed in the document, including Ian MacKaye, Keith Morris, members of Agnostic Front, Bad Brains and Cro-Mags.
The full tracklisting is as follows:
1. Strife – Who Are You? (Void)
