Token Entry
Jaybird & The Weight Of The World
TOKEN ENTRY's second full-length, Jaybird, originally released in 1988 on Roadrunner Records imprint label Hawker Records, took their signature sound of punk-rock influenced hardcore to the next level. Blending the backbone and groove of bands like the BAD BRAINS with the positive force of bands like 7 SECONDS, Jaybird hits hard with standout tracks such as the album's opener "The Fire," the title track "Jaybird," and the band's own theme song, "Token Entry." Following up the critical acclaim of Jaybird, TOKEN ENTRY pushed the hardcore/punk envelope even further with their finale, 1990's The Weight Of The World. Their 3rd LP showcased the band stretching their musical wings, incorporating rock, metal, and even funk influences into their songs.
