I have to say that the U.K. produced most of my favorite hardcore from the 1990s - Voorhees, Health Hazard, Suffer, Ebola, Kitchener, Stalingrad, Hard to Swallow... the list goes on and will have to include
Urko. Playing blazing, vitriol-filled HC, these guys fit right in with the
Flat Earth scene of the time. Their split 7" with Suffer still packs a tremendous wallop after all these years. Included here are their two Eps; "Thrash It Up" and "Fast3ChordHardcore...", along with two split Eps (with Suffer and Active Minds) and their final release - a split Lp with Minute Manifesto. I believe the split 7" with Chineapple Punx is all I am lacking from their discography. Unfortunately the group dissipated in 2001 after the untimely death of their bass player in a car crash.
