Warthur
Is You Bet We've Got Something Personal Against You the first diss track in hardcore punk? Maybe, maybe not, but it's the punchline to a really solid EP here. ("White Minority" on the face of it seems to steer into a decidedly dodgy area, but if you unpack the sarcasm of the lyrics you find that it's the white power anthem that its title might otherwise imply but is, rather, an outright rejection of it and an embrace of the rise of dissenting voices.) With no song extending to two minutes, this is some archetypal hardcore right here, and a foundational EP in the genre's history.
