Coughing Fit - Getting Natural EP (2010)

Would have been a shame to not include Coughing Fit just because of my inability to find a digital copy that wasn't just one long track*, but that's how you should listen to this 17 song EP clocking it at just over 10 minutes anyway, really. Raging, raging, raaaging straight edge fastcore which is still a highlight in Albany history. Started out with a demo as xReptarx and following it up with a 7" shortly thereafter, they ended up changing their name and the sound only got more dialed in. A few lineup changes here and there, but otherwise a pretty similar core group throughout this band's existence.
They put out a single sided tour LP in like, I dunno, maybe 2011 limited to 130 copies on Loud Punk Records. This EP really did it for me the most, but the LP is a great follow up for sure. After the band's split several of them went on to start Ajax after fleeing the sinking ship of Albany to greener pastures in NYC. The video above is from an eviction show they did at their old place in Albany which is still spoken of in high regard. Forever will regret not just calling into work to get a glimpse of that madness in person.
