Heroin was a short-lived but influential hardcore punk/emo band, originating in San Diego in 1991.
History
Heroin is an early example of the screamo subgenre of hardcore punk. Heroin only released a handful of vinyl EPs and singles, primarily on San Diego record label Gravity Records; the songs on these were later compiled on the Heroin CD in 1997.
Emo subculture and history website Fourfa describes Heroin's self-titled LP as "A wall of furious, chaotic noise, vocal-chord-shredding screaming, lyrics of ultimate disillusionment and pain, and just the right amount of melody to pull things together without interrupting the flow of angst."
Members of Heroin went on to perform with Antioch Arrow, Rice, Clikitat Ikatowi, Second Story Window, Holy Molar, and Spacehorse.
