HOOVER & LINCOLN - SPLIT 7" (ART MONK COPNSTRUCTION [AMC 01], 1993) [USA]

Hoover & Lincoln - Split 7"
(Art Monk Construction – [AMC 01], 1993) [USA]




One of the all-time great split 7"s in emo history. Two bands at the top of their game each with one of their best tracks ever. DC's Hoover and Lincoln being from West Virginia. Hard to say, but I think the Lincoln song is my preferred -- it's a coin toss though!
