Follow n' Believe: A Food Not Bombs Compilation / The Quadraphonic Sounds Of The Miecia CD (1996)

    The Follow n' Believe compilation was a Food Not Bombs benefit CD released in 1996. It included 11 different yet equally amazing emo/screamo/hardcore bands like Elements Of Need, Reversal Of Man, Grade, Constatine Sankathi and Bev.Clone to name a few. 

    

    In the grand scheme of 90s D.I.Y. hardcore; compilations are easily forgotten, even though they usually contained unique tracks by excellent and influential bands. In most cases these compilations were fundraisers for different charities, political organizations and righteous causes such as Food Not Bombs. I'm doing our first ever dedicated compilation post for this CD as it is one of the more unique and less remembered compilations of the time. 

    This compilation also is a bit of a curiosity because it contains a FULL ALBUM of material by a one and done band called The Miecia; situated right after the other 10 bands songs. This album is titled "The Quadraphonic Sounds Of The Miecia" and contains 11 songs of wacky, Hose.Got.Cable esque technical punk-ramblings mixed with shrieked vocals and spoken word breaks reminiscent of bands like Native Nod and Moss Icon. 

    I wish I could tell you more about The Miecia but the truth is the only remaining context for the band is the 1 page insert included with this CD. Anyways, everything on this CD is complete D.I.Y. punk gold and you should really give it a listen!
