CHRIS BALD 96 "Uglified" EP
[The Lost Issue (unpublished), early 1990s]
Chris has been a mainstay of the D.C. punk community since the early 1980s, playing in such fabulous bands as FAITH, EMBRACE and IGNITION. I definitely expected a lot from this EP, and was unfortunately disappointed. It is mainly mid-tempo emocore, lacking any real cohesiveness. It flounders. I had the same complaints about IGNITION's first EP, and they eventually progressed to become one of my favorite bands. Perhaps CHRIS BALD 96 will do the same.
