Album Notes & Community Reviews

A defining document of the youth crew hardcore movement, this debut full-length captures the straight-edge energy of the New York underground. The group transitions slightly from their earlier, rawer sound into tighter, more passionately delivered anthems of personal rebellion and positive action. The release firmly cemented the band's status alongside Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today on the Revelation Records roster.
