MAXIMUM PENALTY
COULD YOU LOVE ME

In 1986, at the height of the hardcore movement in New York City, the underground scene gave birth to one the most original hybrids of hardcore. Back then lead vocalist Jim Williams had already established himself in the hardcore community as a drummer with such early bands as SARCASM and NAUSEA. Jim was passionate about bringing together an unlikely group of musicians to challenge the existing musical boundaries with something new and very exciting. And the many connections he had developed while working the door at CBGB made him uniquely suited for the challenge of assembling a diverse group, MAXIMUM PENALTY. “Could You Love Me” originally appeared on 1997’s Super Life and is now available as a single for a Valentine-themed release.
