    What would happen if Joy Electric suddenly became a hardcore band? You'd get this intriguing amalgamation of synthpop coupled with strong outbursts of guitar and hardcore vocal. Still, the next song might be a thoughtful indie rock, turning into grunge, and then onto something else. Too much variety can be the downfall of some bands, but given the talent here, we'll have to wait & see... To order, send $6 to: Brent Finnegan, 361 Louisa St, Broadway VA 22815
