Recidivist last existed properly in 1999 with a brief reunion for a charity gig in 2004(3)? haha, I'm not sure. I've put this music up here as an online record so if anyone is curious as to what myself and some others did before then they can have a squizz.

Hailing from Fife and Edinburgh in Scotland Recidivist went into the studio on 3 occasions, DIYed it each time. I've only put the songs from the later two as the quality of the guitar sound is very ropey on the 1st demo but in the unlikely event of them being requested I can supply them.

The more obvious influences from the time were the 90's metalcore (which was new at the time) bands like Damnation AD, Integrity, Earth Crisis etc and on older recordings more traditional hardcore could be heard.

CDs or CD quality files are available if anyone asks nicely too.
