Record/Vinyl
A WORLD IN TURMOIL, the band's only release, was recorded in November of 1993 at Studio L in Weirton, West Virginia, and engineered by Rick Witkowski, guitarist from prog rock heroes Crack The Sky. Limited to 300 copies on cassette, the demo/EP almost instantly sold out, eventually experiencing a longer life in the hardcore scene thanks to tape trading and word of mouth. To mark its 30th anniversary, A WORLD IN TURMOIL has been remastered by Harvey O’Sullivan (Owl Eyes, The Living End), with an edition of 250 pressed on red vinyl.

about

Slowpoke, a five-piece straight-edge hardcore band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were known for their frenetic live performances throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and Canada in the early to mid-1990s. Angular guitars tethered to an inventive rhythm section were foundational to Slowpoke's style of melodic, breakdown-heavy hardcore, their wall of drop-tuned distortion and percussive low end punctuated by fierce and uncompromising vocals.

Socially conscious but far from dogmatic, Slowpoke never used the stage as a bully pulpit. Instead, a menacing set list was their proof of purpose, and inciting mosh pits in clubs, dive bars, college cafeterias, fire halls, and YMCAs their own form of group catharsis. Active from 1992 to 1995, Slowpoke shared countless stages with scene peers including Abnegation, Anti-Flag, Chokehold, Fadeaway, Grade, Integrity, Slugfest, Split Lip, 25 Ta Life, and others.
