Re: Focal Point
Awesome album indeed. No idea what they did afterwards. Maybe they're still on their knees thanking their god to allow them to do such an awesome record.
Re: Focal Point
before they put that out they put out a 7" on life sentence records (one of my favorite labels in the 90s) after focal point im pretty sure one of there guitarsts became the singer of training for utopia i didnt care much for them so i didnt really follow them but hope this helps a little

Yeah, one of them went onto Training For Utopia and currently sings for the even worse band known as Demon Hunter.

I Saw them play in Seattle in the late '90s with I think One King Down and Brothers Keeper.
Re: Focal Point
ha just so happened to have it uploaded if anyone needs it.. it's definitely one of those releases that define a moment in time. sadly i never got to see them live.. the closest they ever got to me that show was canceled.

Re: Focal Point
meh.
i always thought their 7" was great, but their cd was pretty mediocre, at best. and the only 2 good songs were from the 7", anyway...

Re: Focal Point
Of course I would not. Even after all these years not listening to them, I still remember that 'Neglected' was pretty solid record.

Re: Focal Point
Saw them in Nor Cal in the mid 90's with Unconquered and Last Standing. Pretty funny show actually; FP started to unplug Last Standing's gear in the middle of their set. A small riot ensued. Most Reno folks left.
My favorite quote from that show:
to FP "...why aren't you guys straight edge?"
FP : "...We are Christian".
Still, "Suffering of the Masses" is amazing. First time I can recall bass drops in a hardcore record.

There was a Focal Point -demo on sale at eBay sometime ago. Anyone got that? I guess it came before the full-length.

Yeah Kimmo I did see that demo, I wish I picked it up because I have almost everything Focal point ever did (including their merch too), except for that demo. I also have a newspaper article/interview that the singer Robbie gave me. I'm going to scan it on here soon.

I have a friend that owns the demo. He recently moved, but when he unpacks everything, he's going to work on converting it for us.
