Ep. #23 Mix Tape of early 90's Florida HC bands

February 22, 2015 15:12 - 40 minutes - 55.5 MB

    The Orlando Music History Group on Facebook has been blowing up lately.  So much I thought it might be time to play this cassette.  A lot of the bands on this cassette have been piping in and sharing old stories, posters, and merch. It has been very entertaining to say the least.     This is side A of a mix tape of Florida bands.  Most of whom were from the Orlando area.  It is a good representation of the Hardcore (and some of the Metalcore) community during the early 90's.  The cas...
