Intro

This is the sound of a basement show where the walls are sweating and the air is thick with adrenaline. It is fast, unapologetic, and built on a foundation of classic hardcore punk urgency. The guitars are jagged and distorted, often leaning into the metallic chug of crossover thrash, while the drumming provides a relentless, driving force that never lets up. It feels immediate and unpolished, capturing the lightning-in-a-bottle energy of a live performance.

What sets this apart is the sheer grit and lack of artifice. There are no studio tricks here, just raw vocal delivery and high-speed instrumentation. The influence of the Syracuse scene is evident in the heavy, rhythmic breakdowns and the confrontational lyrical stance. It bridges the gap between the speed of 80s thrash and the crushing weight of modern hardcore, creating a sonic experience that is both nostalgic and fiercely contemporary.

Start with the album We All Go Down Together. It serves as the definitive statement of their sound, showcasing the blend of punk speed and metallic weight that defines the 1917 Records era. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who wants their music loud, fast, and bone-shakingly honest.
