Solution? from Rochester, NY sounded kind of like early D.R.I., C.O.C., Cryptic Slaughter, with some DC influence as well.
LINE-UP:
*John Schoen - vocals (Powerline, Zoo Music, Shop Class Squares, Pengo)
*Jim Rappleye - guitar
*Lon Hackett - bass (MungBeanDemon, Sulaco)
*Andy Verstraete - drums (Noxious, New World Now, Big Hair, MungBeanDemon, etc)
Vocalist John Schoen was also the DJ of “Metal Mayhem” radio show on WBER-FM Rochester from 1987 ‘til about 1989. He played a lot of thrash, crossover, hardcore punk and demo’s. It was a GREAT radio show on once a week and he turned me on to a lot of great bands like Hirax, Accused, Cryptic Slaughter, Wehrmacht, Anvil Bitch, and so many more. I also jammed with Andy (drummer) a little after this demo when he contemplated leaving the band. We jammed Sacrifice cover-tunes in his attic. For some reason it never worked out and I went on to join a band called Raid.

**There is a track 16 - it is my friend “Evil Eye” reading the track-listing for an eventual airplay on 'Sonic Insanity' radio show in the summer of ’89. It was on the tape I dubbed this from (2nd generation copy). Ripped at 320kbps on 1/19/2017.
