"Angry and urgent hardcore from Richmond, Virginia, US." - Last.fm

I don't know much about them, but this stuff seriously rips!  Fast and pissed off hardcore.. reminds me of Government Warning, Career Suicide, etc.  I don't have the demo, Euro tour cassette, or the split with Strung Up, but this is basically everything they did as the other stuff was, for the most part, just different recordings of these songs.

Government Warning

"Government Warning were a punk band from Richmond, V.A. They had a fast, aggressive hardcore punk sound, like a combination of Adolescents, and F.Us.

In their time as a band they released two 12” records, “No Moderation” and “Paranoid Mess”. Aside from those full-lengths, they also released three 7”s titled “No Way Out”, “Arrested” and “Executed” as well as appearing on No Way Records “No Bullshit” compilation. 

In February 2011, Government Warning embarked on their final east coast tour with Night Birds." Taken from Last.fm profile.

Government Warning is one of my favorite bands, and I can't suggest them to people enough.  If you're a fan of hardcore punk rock, and you've yet to hear this band just download and listen.  You'll be happy.  I promise.
