H2O - H2O

H2O's self-titled debut album, originally released in 1996 on Blackout! Records — one of the defining records of New York hardcore and a landmark of melodic hardcore punk. Produced by Don Fury at Don Fury Studio in New York City, the album balances anthemic hooks with classic NYHC intensity, featuring fan favorites "Family Tree," "Spirit of '84," and "5 Yr. Plan." Lead vocalist Toby Morse's positive message and the band's musical chemistry made H2O an instant classic. This 2026 reissue marks the album's return to vinyl. Due September 18, 2026.
