"Born Against began on April 29, 1989 at the Pyramid Club in New York City and ended on July 12, 1993 at the Nile Cafe in Richmond, Virginia. In between the band played 218 times in 37 states and 14 countries with a total of 7 drummers and 4 bassists. Besides the tracks on... Rebel Sounds of Shit and Failure, the group also released an LP, a 10", a 7" EP and played live on 3 radio stations." - myspace "You either loved them or you hated them, but by god Born Again$t were sons of hardcore. It's hard to finger the sound because there really was a lot going on, and for the time (early 90's) breaking new ground with a sloppy yet succinct playing style that would be emulated for most of the next decade. Lyrically very political, themes ranging from corporate tyranny, America's stranglehold vision of foreign affairs, rape, inner city crime, and self-loathing amongst others, at any given moment it seems as if the band could implode on itself. "- burning down the dreams of forever.

"After one year of dreaming, in march 2004, Half The Battle came to life. Easy and Paolo started writing songs with the idea of playing fast, interesting and fun hardcore. By April, the line up was finalized with the additions of Myk (bass), Mike(drums) and Rommel (guitar). Within a month, they recorded their demo filled with fast riffs drenched in sing alongs and lyrics about personal ideas and beliefs. But fuck Myk he's out! They believe that everyone at the shows should be a part of it so every time they play come with along not just stand around. lets all have some fun." - Easy

ALONE IN A CROWD - ALONE IN A CROWD
ALONE IN A CROWD - ALONE IN A CROWD
Although 1988 was just the beginning of Punk Rock & Hardcore for many, for Alone In A Crowd it was their last chance to say what they wanted to, a farewell to a scene they held in such high regard. New York Citys Side By Side had just broken up, it was early 1988 and Jules Massey (vocalist) wanted to form another band. Lars Weiss, who played bass in Side By Side and Uppercut, was the first to be asked, he was to play guitar. Howie, an old friend of Jules, came in to play second guitar. He was later in an early incarnation of Moondog (which later evolved into Quicksand). Lars recruited ex-Breakdown guitarist Carl Porcaro to play bass, who was then playing in Raw Deal (later known as Killing Time). Weiss also brought in Rob Sefcik, who was drumming along side Lars in Uppercut. Songs were written. Soon after the band recorded their debut release at the legendary Don Furys studio. With vocals that were reminiscent of those on the Antidote EP, the same bottom heaviness of The Abused and Negative Approach, and that Don Fury drum sound, this record was a classic from the start. A 7" ep was released on Rhode Islands Flux Records in 1989.

4 WALLS FALLING - CULTURE SHOCK
4 WALLS FALLING - CULTURE SHOCK 1991
Four Walls Falling rose from the ash of political hardcore
band Pledge Allegiance from Richmond, Virginia. The mid-eighties
saw a host of talented and influencial punk/hardcore and indy
bands on the Richmond scene, including legends like Honor Roll,
Graven Image, White Cross and others. With the break up of
Pledge Allegiance in 1987, brothers, Bo and Taylor Steele,
founded a brand new power house of the new hardcore trends
from the New York Straight Edge scene blended seamlessly
with the off-time melodic flavoring of West coast bands such as
B'last! and still fresh stylings of Metallica and Slayer.
