History
Heroin is an early example of the screamo subgenre of hardcore punk. Heroin only released a handful of vinyl EPs and singles, primarily on San Diego record label Gravity Records; the songs on these were later compiled on the Heroin CD in 1997. Emo subculture and history website Fourfa describes Heroin's self-titled LP as "A wall of furious, chaotic noise, vocal-chord-shredding screaming, lyrics of ultimate disillusionment and pain, and just the right amount of melody to pull things together without interrupting the flow of angst."[1] Members of Heroin went on to perform with Antioch Arrow, Rice, Clikitat Ikatowi, Second Story Window, Holy Molar, and Spacehorse.
