This is the reissue of Tucson’s Conflict’s (U.S.) only album Last Hour, originally released in1983. It is considered by many a masterpiece of hardcore punk and a key influence on the straight edge punk movement. Last Hour is also a rarity since a woman, K Nurse, was both the vocalist and main lyricist - something unheard of at the time in the then-new American hardcore punk scene. The killer guitar riffs and noises are courtesy of a 19-year-old musician named Bill Cuevas. This reissue comes with an extraordinary and well-edited booklet that includes pictures, some short essays, and reproductions of flyers from the band’s collection. RIYL: Civil Death, Black Flag, Jodie Foster's Army, Subhumans and Sin 34. FCC WARNING: 1, 3, 8, 11, 12,14 Recommended Tracks: 1 (FCC), 2, 4, 5, 9, 11 (FCC), 12 (FCC) and 13 1.
