This would have been the record release show for The Process Of... which was a pretty good Turmoil record, but I didn't like it quite as much as Anchor. Actually, those are the only two Turmoil records I ever listen to. I didn't care much for From Bleeding Hands and I stopped paying attention after The Process Of... I honestly don't remember anything about this show. You read my thoughts on The Judas Factor in one of last week's posts and I thought Another Victim were pretty boring. Stalag 13 was a rad DIY venue in west Philadelphia that had a pretty good run and hosted some great shows in the late 90s/early 2000s. It was a pretty much gutted house so the show room was almost the size of the entire first floor. I think the old kitchen was still walled off and there was a backyard you could hang out in. I never went upstairs, but I remember it being accessible at one time. It had a good sized stage and a decent enough PA. The neighborhood was probably about the same as where the Loft was in Baltimore, so if you were used to going to shows in west Baltimore, it didn't seem like that big of a deal, but I remember constantly hearing complaints from out-of-towners about how sketchy the neighborhood was. Whatever, there was a pretty good pizza place a few blocks away and parking was almost never a problem.

I clearly remember this show, it was an afternoon show on a Sunday; I brought my dad with me and he complained that someone kicked him in the nuts while they were dancing (lol) good times good times. I just missed The Judas Factor which sucked but Another Victim amd Turmoil were amazing. Who was the kid who ran the Stalag Tony....Corrupted? I say Corrupted because he also ran Corrupted Image before it became Relapse.
Anyways great memories; I remember The Loft too, I saw Los Crudos and Phobia there a few times,
Thanks for the comment. Great story. I don't know if Tony Pointless (Rambo) ran Stalag 13 or not but I know he was majorly involved. Robby Redcheeks booked a lot of the shows I saw there. I definitely remember stopping by the CI store before it became the Relapse store whenever I was in Philly.
yes yes, Tony Pointless; he was first Straight Edge Crusty that I ever met; didn't like me much because word got around about something I said at an Atom and His Package show in Delaware. Corrupted Image was a way cooler place than Relapse. And by the way I strongly disagree with you about From Bleeding Hands, I was listening to it JUST after reading this post and I can't imagine not loving this album; it's some of the most intense 90's metalcore. It reminded me a lot like Sum of All Fears' "From This Day Forward" CD.
BTW Pulling Teeth is my favorite Baltimore band right now for sure ....could you ask Dom if he has any copies of Day of Mourning's "Reborn as the Enemy" that he doesn't mind parting ways with?
Maybe I'll have to revisit From Bleeding Hands. It's been a while. Thanks for the kind words. Hit Dom up at dom@a389records.com. I doubt he does, but you never know.
would you guys be interested in playing a show in Delaware?
Hit up Dom about that too. His schedule is limited now that he's a dad but hopefully after the record comes out we'll be playing out a bit more.
