Discontent (2)
Who Killed Vinyl?

Listening notes

Discontent (2) released "Who Killed Vinyl?" on Hostage Records in 2000, catalogued as HR025. The release is a vinyl format record falling under the punk and rock genres, and its three-track tracklist is split across two sides.

Side A opens with "Fugitive," followed by the title track, "Who Killed Vinyl?" Side B carries a single track, "Good Enough." No durations are documented for any of the three tracks.

The release arrives on a label whose name — Hostage Records — fits comfortably within the independent punk ecosystem that sustained vinyl as a physical format during a period when the music industry was broadly shifting toward other media. The title "Who Killed Vinyl?" is itself a pointed phrase, one that lands with some irony given the format on which it was pressed. Whether that irony was deliberate is not something the available documentation confirms, and this draft makes no claim in that regard.

Catalog number HR025 places this release at a specific point in Hostage Records' output, though the full scope of that catalog is outside the bounds of what can be confirmed here. Fact checkers may wish to verify the label's history and the surrounding releases in that sequence.

What the record is — a three-track punk and rock vinyl release from 2000 — is clear. What it sounds like, how it was received, who played on it, and what it means to collectors are all questions this draft leaves unanswered, as the verified facts do not extend to those areas. A human reviewer should confirm all details before publication.
