Koro - EP 7" (Sorry State)
A cornerstone of early American hardcore, KORO’s 1983 EP remains one of the most explosive 7"s ever committed to wax. Originally self-released in a tiny pressing out of Knoxville, its legend only grew over the decades, becoming a holy-grail punk record and a touchstone for generations of hardcore bands. Across eight sub-minute tracks, KORO deliver pure velocity: slashing guitars, unhinged vocals, and a sense of urgency that still feels startlingly alive. Essential USHC — raw, fast, and absolutely timeless. Original pressings now fetch well over a thousand dollars on the collector’s market. Sorry State’s 2023 reissue faithfully recreates the look and feel of the original, right down to the offset-printed sleeve on legal-size paper.
