The Fix

Yeah, I’ve written about The Fix before (once, twice, thrice), as have others, so I apologize if this isn’t shedding new light. I’ve gotten a couple of requests for some of Lansing’s finest and I feel obliged to make sure everyone has a chance to hear their two legendary 1981 releases. Plus, Dementlieu has an updated Fix page that has an absolute ton of info on the band. If you don’t think “Vengeance” is one of the great hardcore songs I’m going to come to your house and punch you in the face. OK, not really, but what are you prepared to throw on the slab against it?

Totally intense. Great guitar sounds. Thanks!
can’t go wrong with the fix
holy fuck they rock!!!
thanx alot!
P.S.: Post one about the Dead City Rebels from Ottawa!!
The Fix are great…but where “No Idols”…that one could be their best song.
Another monster post! I love weeks like this, it feels like I walked into a record store and scored huge without having to lay out $200 to some asshole. Thanks!
ive been after the cold days stuff for ages very useful cheers
midwest hardcore, i love it! have you ever heard of a band from michigan called the state? their “no illusions” ep rips so hard, anyone got mp3 copies?
the Fix rules! wow!
the State 7″ was just repressed by Havoc records. i think it went out of print really quick, but distros may still have copies. They’ve played a handful of shows recently.
Havoc is repressing the State EP again soon. Apparently Grand Theft Audio is going to do a CD release of the state EP and some unreleased shit as well. I’ll be first in line, that EP is fucking amazing!
Is it true that it’s PW Long singing for the State way before Mule and Wig? That’s what Flex says.
Hardcore at it’s finest!
The Fix hit all the senses whit a brutal sound, that leaves you begging for more.
