The long awaited debut LP from NYC’s FLOWER “Hardly A Dream” is finally set to arrive.

FLOWER’s tedious approach to writing/creating/drawing their debut LP was carefully thought out and the result is a monumental anarcho punk /crust record.

“Hardly A Dream” Takes us on a bleak journey through the dark side of society. As soon as you drop the needle a dark atmosphere is immediately created with a slow intro featuring arpeggio guitar work that builds into pummeling d-beat crust. The albums vocals then leave you with a feeling of being crushed by the ever-present weight of living through our modern world of late stage capitalism that was built on the falsehoods of the so called American dream, religious hypocrisy’s, nationalism, and the greed of humankind.
FLOWER take many cues from predecessors and are most often (and rightfully so) compared to NAUSEA but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats. The artwork has a very RUDIMENTARY PENI feel and the record comes with an amazing 24.5 X 34.75 CRASS style poster jacket. All art work was meticulously hand drawn and overseen by the guitarist Willow in true DIY style and spirit. Willow was also cool enough to draw up a special shirt for the record release featuring an alternative PROFANE EXISTENCE backprint!

Hooray for stereotypes and ignoring 35 years or so of Floridian punk rock! First and foremost, why does it matter that the vocals are done by a “womyn” as you so eloquently put it? As if it’s some sort of spectacle or an absolute shock that the vocals are just as good as if a man did them. Pathetic.
Perhaps do some research before writing an article next time. Bands that I will just go ahead and assume existed before you did: Roach Motel, Hated Youth, Sector 4, Headless Marines, U-Boats, Lethal Yellow, Gay Cowboys in Bondage, No Fraud, F, Pagan Faith, the list goes on and on. Florida has always had a decent hardcore punk scene. And Florida is filled with youth who are way far left of center. Not just bigoted right wing blue hairs.
