Here's something I've been wanting to do for a long time; a complete (to my knowledge) 411 post (The "Thoughts That Feed the Fire" 7inch was one of my earliest posts here). Sometimes when you're excited to do something, less is more... so here we go:
Four One One was a Southern California melodic/post-hardcore band from the early 90's. Featuring a host of musicians from many varied bands (Farside, Triggerman, Rocket From the Crypt, Speak, & No For An Answer to name a few); the band meshed together mid-tempos of another kind with lyrical content that forced the listener to take notice; and agree or disagree; form an opinion of some kind.
Big drums, a very well blended guitar/bass attack, and those signature Dan O vocals, but being sung/spoken in a way that really shows what he's capable of as a frontman.
Since hearing "Under Fire" on KSPC some 15 years ago & having a friend dub me the "This Isn't Me" album on tape, I've been hooked. Easily one of my favorite hardcore/punk bands. As I prepared to post the lp & re-post a better rip of the 7inch i literally stumbled upon the Suburban Voice comp after looking for years & then the Sign Language & Purgatory comps which I hadn't even known existed. Download and enjoy.

"Thoughts That Feed the Fire" 7inch
"This Isn't Me" LP
"Flesh (live)" from Suburban Voice Comp. 7inch

Excellent work! I love this band and it's great to have all this stuff together like this. Now all i need is the WFMU set! Been looking for that one forever.
xdowntimex - thanks so much for that. I had NO clue it existed. Will update the download accordingly.
Stormy, I will keep an eye for that as well. I'm also curious as to a live set that the "Flesh" (from the Suburban Voice comp) recording is pulled from. Of course it could very well be lost to time; but I would bet the set is out there in someone's closet.
Thank you for this! Thanks especially for including the layouts...definitely a nice touch.
muchos Gracias.
