Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a significant evolutionary step for the Venice Beach skate-punk outfit, 'Join the Army' fully embraces metallic guitar riffs and complex solos, cementing the foundations of crossover thrash. The album effectively bridges their chaotic hardcore origins with the technical precision of thrash metal, driven by Mike Muir's distinctively frantic vocal delivery.
