Artist Spotlight: ACACIA
Acacia were a band from London, Ontario, Canada. They existed in one form or another from 1996-2011. They were a group of guys from the Southern Ontario hardcore scene with one label released record, their first, called UNTUNE THE SKY, on GOODFELLOW RECORDS. Over time their sound slightly changed but was always heavy. I’ve compiled five songs from three of their records for this set. From UNTUNE THE SKY, BAKER STREET, and OUR OWN. They played my old radio show, HARDCORE STILL LIVES!, on CHRW 94.9 in the late 1990’s.

A set of early Italian hardcore inspired by a collection that came out two years ago of the Wrong Boys. So I pulled together a set of bands from the same region and at the same time and used the Furious Years comp name to describe that era.
