"Total Abuse are from Austin, Texas. Since their first show in November 2006, TA have been recording and playing a heavy onslaught of feedback drenched hardcore soundscapes, taking hints from the Dead C, Black Flag (Chavo and Rollins era), Void and Harry Pussy. Total Abuse's roster includes Rusty Kelley on vocals (who also makes harsh noise under the name Breathing Problem), Matt Lyons on drums, Ryan Foster on guitar, Dustin Pilkington on bass and, as of August 2008, they added former Snobs guitarist Duncan Knappen as second guitar. Members now live in New York, Oakland and Austin and get together as much as possible to record and destroy ears live."

Title:	Prison Sweat
Label:	POST PRESENT MEDIUM
Format:	LP
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	PPM 049LP

"On their third LP Prison Sweat Total Abuse blast and sometimes almost sludge through seven tracks of great hardcore punk (with two tracks reaching over the seven minute mark). Opening with an opus of blistering, seething, crunching noise then bursting into tracks that are as catchy and nauseous as their influences, this is Total Abuse at their best and most ferociously open. TA posses an honesty and anger missing from a lot of their contemporaries allowing them to dwell deep in your brain for a long while after you listen. First pressing is a limited run of 500 and the record includes a writing collaboration between Total Abuse and Chicago based writer/musician Peter Sotos, whose writings and ethos has influenced the TA project from its inception."
