Description

Voorhees "What You See Is What You Get" 7" on Crust Records unplayed Test Pressing, limited to 3 copies. Archival copy from the vault.

A killer HC Record.

Voorhees formed from the ashes of various other Durham based hardcore bands (Steadfast, Know Your Enemy, False Face, The MacDonalds). Ian Leck and Sean Readman were the driving force and principal songwriters, and the first lineup was completed by Darrell Hindley, Gary Cousins and David Brown. They played their first gig at the Rowing Club in Durham in September 1991.

Voorhees started gigging regularly including a UK tour with Slapshot, and released the Violent... EP on Armed With Anger Records. Michael Gillham (drums) and Graeme Nicholls (lead guitar) joined the others to form the first stable line-up. Early in 1994, the band's debut LP, "Spilling Blood Without Reason" was recorded and released on AWA Records. A European tour and a John Peel Session[2] was recorded for BBC Radio 1 in early 1995.

Maximumrocknroll magazine's review of the first album; "...I sensed that Voorhees could blow doors off, not just peel the paint. So here you've got it - a 26 track LP harkening back to the days of hardcore bands having something that drove them, the kind of anger and frustration that drives some people out of the room and has others turning it up louder. Wow!"

Other releases recorded by the Voorhees line-up of this period were a split 7" with Stalingrad (AWA Records) and the "What You See Is What You Get" EP on Crust Records. Voorhees made it to the US in April 1996, playing shows with Hatebreed, 25 Ta Life, Charles Bronson, Dropdead, Fit For Abuse and Los Crudos among others, and playing in infamous hardcore dives like ABC No Rio, CBGB's and the Bomb Shelter in Minneapolis.
