None Left Standing - Laura EP

"9/24/80: LAURA. Cindy Lamb hugged and kissed her five month old daughter, Laura, strapped her in their pickup truck and took off from their Unionville home for a trip to the supermarket. That hug was the last thing Laura felt. A drunk driver with three previous convictions rammed the Lamb's pickup head-on and Laura was paralyzed from the neck down. "Now she doesn't feel any hugs. She doesn't feel any kisses. She doesn't feel anything." Said a bitter and tearful Mrs. Lamb.
4/7/94: This record is fully dedicated to the memory of Laura Lamb who eventually died due to complications when she was 7 years old. Laura was a fighter. During the time I knew her when I was younger, I was so astonished that despite her tragedy, she was a confident, normal and quite happy child. I am still inspired by her now. She persevered through so much more I can ever imagine. I will never forget you. Tim (singer and bass player in None Left Standing)."

Cuatro emotivos temas de este grupo de EEUU dedicados a la memoria de Laura, como explica el texto del interior del disco. Aunque su mejor canción quizá sea la aparecida en el recopilatorio XXX de Ebullition (Station I.D.), este siete pulgadas es un bonito ejemplo de su música, sus dudas y sus sentimientos. Breathe life es la canción que más he escuchado de este vinilo. El mismo sello que editó esto sacó una selección de su discografía (Stingray Candy 100) en CD. Un grupo que siempre me ha caído bien.

Sacado por Rhetoric Records en 1993.
