'''Heroin''' was a short-lived but influential [[hardcore punk]]/[[emo (music)|emo]] band, originating in [[San Diego]] in [[1991]].
==History==
Heroin was a forerunner 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 (US)|Gravity Records]]. A complete discography was later compiled on the ''[[Heroin (album)|Heroin]]'' CD in 1997.
Emo subculture and history website [http://www.fourfa.com Fourfa] describes Heroin's self-titled LP as "A wall of furious, chaotic noise, vocal-chord{{sic}}-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."<ref>[http://www.fourfa.com/topten/hcemo.htm Fourfa's Hardcore Emo Top Ten]</ref>
