The record

Title: Negative Approach – Tied Down
Year/Genre: 1983, Hardcore Punk
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Negative Approach formed in early-1980s Detroit, part of a Midwest hardcore network trading shows and flyers with bands from D.C., Boston, and the West Coast.

  2. Released on Touch and Go Records, Tied Down was the band’s only full-length from their original run before they split in the mid-’80s.

  3. Its ultra-condensed songs and confrontational attitude became a key blueprint for later hardcore, influencing everything from ’90s powerviolence to modern DIY punk.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
