In the summer of 1982, an already burgeoning scene in Richmond, VA, saw the arrival of some new blood in the form of Graven Image. Having shared the stage with a veritable who's wh o of punk at the time (Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Necros, C.O.C., Void, The FU's, etc.) throughout the Mid Atlantic, the band's explosive live performance, fronted by the powerful and charismatic Dwayne Curd, was evidence that they could hold their own when billed with the aforementioned titans of the genre. "The Studio Sessions: '82-'83" features the entirety of Graven Image's recorded studio output - first from the "Your Skull Is My Bowl" session circa fall of 1982 that became the extremely rare and sought after split tape with fellow local juvenile upstarts Honor Role - and lastly from the "Kicked Out Of The Scene" EP session that was recorded in 1983 and released the following year, plus some previously unreleased tracks from each of the studio outings that yielded these 22 tracks of USHC fury. LP includes a 12" x 12" booklet. Track Listing: 1. Child Abuse2. Fascist State3. Uncomfortable Environment4. My World5. Double Life6. Trigger Happy7. Birth Control8. Vote For Me9. America10.
