UMUR
"True to the Trade E.P." is an EP release by US, California based hardcore/crossover thrash metal act Attitude Adjustment. The EP was released through Rise Above It Records in 1996 and is the follow-up release to the band´s second full-length studio album "Out of Hand" from 1991. "True to the Trade E.P." is a posthumous release, as Attitude Adjustment disbanded in 1991.

The EP was originally released on 7" vinyl (limited to 1.200 copies), featuring 3 live tracks and 2 demo tracks on the A-side and two studio tracks on the B-side. Both the live and the demo tracks feature a raw, noisy, and lo-fi recording quality, while the 2 studio tracks feature a slighly better sounding production (recorded in November 1995 during a short reformation of the band). It´s fast, aggressive, and simple hardcore, and nothing out of the ordinary for the style. Drummer Chris Kontos is the star of the show with his powerful and skillful drumming.

Upon conclusion "True to the Trade E.P." isn´t the most necessary release. Not even for fans of Attitude Adjustment. The recording quality of the live- and the demo tracks are simply of such a low quality that it´s hard to enjoy the music, and the two studio recordings aren´t that interesting either. A 2 star (40%) rating is warranted.
