***Go To Prison is the debut release from New Orleans hardcore upstarts PEARS. Since its limited release in 2014, Go To Prison has taken the punk scene by the balls and refused to let go. Needless to say, we at Fat Wreck Chords are huge fans and after a few overtures we successfully convinced PEARS to let us rerelease this monumental album. Go To Prison twitches back and forth between genuine old-school hardcore and extremely melodic choruses without ever missing a beat. PEARS throw a little New Orleans voodoo juju on the sometimes tedious and wearied hardcore genre to create a unique and fresh sound that truly belongs to them. These guys are absolute maniacs and it comes across in the unrelenting intensity of their music and live shows. Like most things that emanate from the French Quarter, this shit’s potent. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
