Reading Steven Blush's book "American Hardcore: A Tribal History" was one of the inspirations for taking on this project. Although Columbus doesn't get its own section in the book, and the midwest overall is underserved, the city provided a number of contributions to the 80s hardcore scene, including Human Sufferage. Though hard to find, I was able to track down a copy of their second release, the 1984 album Thank You, Mother Dear that was released via New Age. It's a nice slab of youthful hardcore that sounded fresh and energetic to this day.
