BATTERY - UNTIL THE END (D.C. USA)

BATTERY - UNTIL THE END (D.C. USA) 1996
By 1996 they released "Until the End", their second full length album, which featured another 7Seconds cover, "Young Till I Die". By this stage they had a new drummer,Jason hamacher, who was also a member of the D.C. spazzcore band Frodus. This album saw the refinement of the bands old school revival sound, in that it saw them move towards a more stripped down and melodic style. Ben Chused then left the band and began playing drums in the Boston hardcore band, TEN YARD FIGHT. He was replaced with Graham Land who had played guitar in Worlds Collide and founded BETTER THAN A THOUSAND with Ken Olden and RAY CAPPO , the singer of YOUTH OF TODAY. The band then began their first major tour in the United States, headlining with TEN YARD FIGTH , as well as their second major tour of Europe with DAMNATION AD.

STREETS (New York USA)
Though the band featured several members of non-caucasian backgrounds through its history, and Raybeez sang lyrics urging racial unity and spoke out strongly against anything that divided the youth of America against itself, their shows were often marred by violence. For this reason, Raybeez rarely performed from the stage. He sang out in the crowd. Often huddling with a multitude to shout the lyrics, he used it as an opportunity to stop fights before security could respond. This tactic often cooled tempers more quickly than stopping the show might have and prevented fans from being escorted out of the show. His position in the crowds rather than elevated on a stage also endeared him to fans in a way few other performers in the genre have ever achieved. The music on this album was what New York hardcore (and hardcore in general) became known for: short, fast songs with shouted socio-political lyrics, heavy but basic guitar riffs, gang chants, and attitude. The title track became a slogan for hardcore youth, and one of the most covered tracks by other New York hardcore bands. Other songs such as "Crazy But Not Insane" and "As One" had a similar impact.
