Give Them Rope, the first proper full-length from this wildly influential, trail-blazing hardcore band, blew minds upon its original 1997 release. The record took hardcore’s urgency into an altogether heavier, more angular and discordant direction than any of the bands progenitors before them. This repackaged, remastered edition of the original album comes complete with extensive liner notes from COALESCE guitarist Jes Steineger, as well as a 2nd disc with 2004’s ‘Give Them Rope She Said V2.0 featuring an alternate mix and mastering job of the entire Give Them Rope album’.

Coalesce emerged out of the Midwest in the mid-90s with a confrontational and uncompromising sound. Although they were adopted into the hardcore scene, their blend of discordance and noise set them apart from the very beginning. The strength of their back catalog highlights that their widespread influence is entirely justified and that their singular approach has stood the test of time.
