Long in the making, Unrest's Grindcore had become almost an urban legend in the Philadelphia metal underground. The guys finally finished it up in 2014, and now it's ready to see the light of day. If the band name doesn’t spell it out for you, the album title surely will. This is nothing but grindcore—stripped down, unpretentious, and loud. At the same time, it’s much more than that. Unrest is comprised of craftsmen from bands both familiar (Woe, Trenchrot and those about to be in Dark Descent’s up-and-coming doom act, Crypt Sermon). The riff and song construction throughout this debut album is right in line from what you’d expect from a group of such capable veterans. They wear their Nasum (and by proxy, Napalm Death) influence on their sleeves, but through sheer mastery of the craft elevate the material well beyond a mere tribute to old masters. Includes a digital download card.

Imperial f.f.r.r. was Unrest’s breakthrough album in 1992. It has withstood the test of time and is now considered an indie-rock classic and one of the best albums of the 1990s. Formed in 1984, at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, the band started releasing homemade cassettes on their own Teenbeat label. Imperial f.f.r.r. is their sixth album and marked the arrival of original Velocity Girl vocalist Bridget Cross joining drummer Phil Krauth and singer/guitarist Mark Robinson. It was recorded by Wharton Tiers (Sonic Youth) at his home studio in Manhattan. After the release of Imperial f.f.r.r., the band released singles on Sub Pop and K and soon thereafter signed to legendary U.K. indie 4AD, releasing their final studio album Perfect Teeth in 1993. This limited edition features the original design and layout of the very first pressing from 1992. All the details have been recreated including the lyric sheet, the blue box around the amplifier on the front, the label art, and even the Ajax and No.6 Records logos. The original didn't have a barcode, so we've created a spiffy new removeable OBI card for that featuring a photograph by Mike Galinsky (The Decline of Mall Civilization) of the band playing at New York's Spiral club in 1991. “8.2 . . . Unrest loomed as large as Pavement in the '90s.” — Pitchfork #5 on the “100 greatest indie rock albums of all time.” — Amazon “A near-perfect album of indie pop.” — All Music Guide...
