Before Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust made punk and metal crossover in vogue during 2007-2010 many people overlook the authenticity of their earlier harsher recordings. For the record, I've never liked Municipal Waste however Toxic Holocaust I still hold in high regard. Around the time said bands were starting out, another band out of Boston who played in a similar vein however associated more closely to 80's punk similar to English Dogs released perhaps one of the most underrated 7 inches in the last decade.
Meet Mishap, a group of punks who played fast loud and aggressive metal punk in an entire country where crust punk was the rule and anything else was often swept to the wayside and not even given a second thought. When I picked up this baby, the cover didn't really do it for me, I thought possibly they could of been some obscure crust band or something using rather generic imagery, turning over though I thought I'd give it a shot, the band looked cool (call me shallow) but fuck when I put the needle on this record I thought this was fucking brilliant and why hadn't this band been given any recognition?!Unfortunetly Mishap like so many great bands before them only released one 7" and disappeared after a couple of years. I highly recommend this 7" if you enjoy metal punk crossover this band is for you!
