1. The Arrogants are a relatively new Band, so please introduce
yourselves?

Oi! Everyone, these 5 hooligans are SickBoy (Vocals), Il Macellaio
(Bass), Deny (Guitar), Frank (Lead Guitar) and Maniac (Drums). We
just want to bring back that good old sharp sound from the 80's mixed
with Street classic, pornographic, violent lyrics.

2. Is this the first Band for all of you or did some play in Bands
before?

(SB) Me and Maniac used to play the Bass Guitar and Drums in
Legittima Offesa as well.
(I.M) I also Play the Bass Guitar in the Perfida, a Punk Band.
(SB) And Frank played here and there in the past.

3. So how did you all get together to form The Arrogants?

(SB) Well I started hanging out with these Junkies almost 3 years
ago.. I always dreamed a good Oi! Band, a genuine one. An old
fashioned one staying outside of politics singing just about street
life, sex and hangovers.
(D) Yeah…and I still hope to get some Chicks for being a member of it.

4. Although a new band you've got a definite early 80's sound ie
Condemned/Combat.84, 4Skins etc, how much influence have these Bands
had on you?

Definitely! We all love those Bands. I told you, we come back from
the 80's…hahaha.
What you've said is exactly what we wanted.. We brought back to life
that old British sound, with that old sexist attitude…hahaha…Here
come the Arrogants!..Again! ;)

5. Do you get to play Many Gigs? I know Italy has a large
Skinhead 'Scene' but it seems very factionalised?

Yes we have a big Skinhead scene here in Italy, but as you said it is
very factionalised…well nowadays it looks like things are turning
better…but many people still don't like the Punks and live just for
the politics …there are always new kids, new faces and new Bands…
we'll keep the faith!.
Thanks to GiGi (Legittima Ofessa) and the 'Skinhouse' Crew (Milan)
we've had some good shows.

6. You've recently had your debut 12" EP "Here come…" released on
Barracuda Records, can we expect a Full Length Album anytime soon?

Get ready to hear our new 13 tracks soon. If you liked our Single
you'll go mental with this one!…hahaha… we still have to decide the
title but it will be a sort of "Tales from the Pub" or something like
that… anyway here are some titles… just so you know what to
expect… "I'm a Rapist", "Cannibal Café", "Fat Girls", "Social
Disease", "Kick Kick Kick", … Enough for now?

7. And in the meantime you're due to appear on a couple of good
Oi!/Street Punk Compilations?

Yes we are lucky, we've played "Hippy Hunter" on "Oi! What a
Wonderful World" Vol.2 (Bords De Seine Records), we've got "Kick kick
kick" (another anti-Hippy anthem…I confess… We love those long haired
coloured lads) on "Anthemic Oi!-Core", and "Right to Choose" is going
to appear on "Anthemic Oi!-Core" Vol.2 (both on Blackout Music).

8. For Upto Date news and more info, how can people get in touch with
you?

Well you could reach our website at www.thearrogants.net or write to
us at: chaos4disorder@yahoo.com

9. Any Message for the Skins and Oi! Fans who haven't been turned on
to The Arrogants just yet?

Well Folks, What more can we say? Keep On Kicking Oi! Oi! Oi!.

EMPIRE FALLS BIOGRAPHY

Bryan (vocals) and Hunter (guitar) formed the band Empire Falls in
1996 out of the ashes of former band Scorch.
Empire Falls was formed with the notion of taking back hardcore from
the current trend of complacency. Their first demo, recorded with a
drum machine, was shopped around to potential drummers and bass
players in the North Carolina area until they finally found drummer
Will and bass player Billy. The band wrote seven songs and played
their first show.

Soon the band was offered a seven-inch deal with Maryland label Fist
Fight Records. The lineup of Bryan Scorch (vocals/ bass), Hunter
(guitar) and Will (drums) quickly went into the studio and recorded
tracks for what would become the "Lines Have Been Drawn" seven inch
(1300 pressed). Next came the "Our Blood, Our Brotherhood"
compilation on Prophecy Records. Early on the band received a
reputation for violence however there isn't really any truth to this.
The people attending their shows however were dancing hard
("fighting") regularly and like it or not the band was forever linked
to the violence and aggression by rumors.

The "Lines Have Been Drawn" seven inch was doing well and pressed
again by local label Groovecore Records (500 copies), a few demos
were released and by 1997 Empire Falls was searching for a new rhythm
section. They found Steve (drums) and Croad (bass) and the band hit
the road in 1997 to tour the East Coast for a week. When they got
back home this lineup would record the "Rekindling The Fire" full
length for Back Ta Basics Records (1000 pressed).
Back Ta Basics also included the band on the widely distributed "A
Call For Unity" CD compilation. In the meantime, more shows and
violent ones at that.

In early 1998 the band plus new second guitar player Nick
Fletcher "Fury" went in to record the "Join Or Die" CD for their own
label Prophecy Records (still selling to date). They even managed to
play more shows than ever and released a live tape and CD
titled "Riot At Cedar Street". After a while the controversy had
built to an all time high.

Soon, Nick Fury and Steve had to go. The band quickly found a
replacement in One Life Crew's promotion agent, the hard-hitting
drummer Blake. Soon the band had several new compilation releases
under their belt including the "Young Til I Die: Tribute To 7-Seconds
seven inch on Groovecore Records, the "After The Storm: A Tribute To
Judge" seven inch on Prophecy Records and the infamous Empire
Falls/Pitboss 2000 split seven inch on Ohio's Use Your Head Records
(2000 pressed and now considered a collectors item).

In late 1998 the band demos their new tracks and then went into the
studio to record the EP "Making Hardcore A Threat". By now the band
had managed to alienate the majority of the local PC scene with their
hard stance (He! He! He!) However the controversy was to bring in a
more determined and dedicated audience to their shows. The shows were
getting larger and more intense.
With some help from MP3.com calling the band the best metal core act
for months in a row by 1999 they had finally gained some worldwide
exposure and a dedicated following.

The year 1999 marked a huge hiatus for the band with no touring or
recording. The whole band could not work through their differences
politically, musically, geographically and socially and in May of
1999, a few months after recording the "Making Hardcore a Threat" EP
the band called it quits after playing only two shows in support of
the new EP. One song, their cover of Warzones "Kicked In the Head"
was released on the widely distributed "The Spirit Remains: A Tribute
To Raybees and Warzone" CD comp on Hate-Core Records. For the rest of
1999 and most of 2000 Bryan toyed around with the idea of re-forming
Empire Falls while he was busy singing for the new version of Scorch,
a Pitboss 2000 side project, and playing bass for the North Carolina
oi! band Patriot where he toured and helped out on the bands new
record "We The People".

Enter EF 2000: Bryan was getting increased interest from emails and
letters about Empire Falls reforming. Bryan didn't seem to think that
was all that bad of an idea so in late 1999 and early 2000 he
recruited some friends and recorded the "Dawn Of A New Era" EP for
his own label Prophecy Records, finishing up the tracks for the EP in
2001 (Still selling to date).
Next came a compilation titled "A Breed Apart: On The Outside Looking
In" (Not Gonna Say Records) which sported some of the fringe hardcore
acts in the scene.the bands that were doing hardcore right and not
getting any attention for it. The compilation was met with wonderful
reviews and dubbed the years version of the infamous "Where the Wild
Things Are" compilation.

Around the tail end of 2001 Bryan had recruited Doug on the guitar
and Brandon on drums. The band rehearsed with several bass players
until Doug decided to move over to bass and Bryan recruited Eddie,
guitar player from local band Floor 13. This lineup recorded some old
and newly written tracks on their home recording machine and pressed
500 copies onto vinyl on their own label GCC Records. From this small
beginning Empire Falls received the best reviews yet sparking renewed
national and local interest in the band.
Called their best lineup by far, the same lineup entered Carey Sound
and recorded their brand new record "Take A Stab At Society" now
available on Prophecy Records. Shows around this time included a
Southern tour with Comin Correct (ex-25 Ta Life) and in January Bryan
toured Europe for six weeks playing bass for Comin Correct.

2002 marked some minor changes with the line-up. Bryan, Eddie and
Doug were still plugging away yet with a new drummer. Alex was
recruited and shortly thereafter Daniel was hired as a second
guitarist and was later fired for not accepting the bands large
skinhead following. The band wrote around 5 new tracks for an
upcoming album tentatively titled "The Elite" but the album was
scrapped due to lack of funds and GCC Records pressed 100 copies of
the sessions with a live set onto CD. Also recently the band has
repressed some of the older out of print titles and released a new
live CD titled "Unsolved Crimes" which they recorded during a packed
show supporting Antiseen. Up next was a split 7" with Antiseen and a
split CD with Clevelands One Life Crew as well as a split CD with
Pitboss 2000 was also in the works.

In 2003 Eddie and Alex were scrapped and two brothers joined as
guitarists.
Evan and Ryan were old friends from the Greensboro scene and joined
the band full time. This lineup played out almost every weekend for
the rest of 2003.
In the summer of 2003 the band toured with Pitboss 2000 and
Baltimore's backhand as well as played shows with 25 Ta Life and
Antiseen. Two drummers helped them out during this time. The first
drummer was Aaron from the Dirty Politicians and the second drummer
being the infamous Ross from the North Carolina skinhead band The
Beatdowns. The band recorded a new full length titled "The Underdogs"
for RAC Records and New Jersey's Pit-Core records inked a deal to
release a 34 song "Best Of" CD.

Everything was going well until squabbles put an end to the momentum.
Ross left the band in the Fall of 2003 to pursue other endeavors and
shortly thereafter the brothers were fired. Prior Ross's departure
the band entered a studio in Virginia to record a dozen songs for a
future release. During these sessions the band recorded many of their
previously un-recorded live staples. In October Bryan decided to join
25 Ta Life playing bass for their 2 week Californian tour. When Bryan
returned Aaron from the Dirty Politicians once again joined the band
to help out and Bryan recruited James from the North Carolina skin-
band NC Punchout on guitar. This lineup went down to Atlanta to play
a gig and on their return went into the studio to record for the
OLC/EF split 7 inch release in 2004. Shortly thereafter Ross and
Bryan met up at a gig in Chapel Hill and agreed that he should rejoin
the band. The re-formed lineup went into the two different studios
and recorded for some 7 inch releases, comp songs and splits. The
split 7 inch with One Life Crew was released by Prophecy Records in
March 2004.
Doug Triscuit switched back to guitar and a friend from the North
Carolina scene, Phil, joined as bass player. This lineup toured with
25 Ta Life in 2004 and organized and played the first annual
Underdogs Super-Show in 2004.
Ross was fired after a stage dive filled show on the fourth of July
in South Carolina. The reasons were numerous. Phil moved from bass
to drums and the band hired Josh Sanders to play bass. Diehard
Records (Ohio) inked a deal to release all of the bands EP's from
1996 to 2004 on one CD. With this deal Diehard Records also released
a CD of new recordings from 2003-2004 titled "No Compromise/Live Free
Or Die". The CD is a massive 31-track collection.
In mid 2004 Bryan was asked to sing in the revamped and reformed UK
punk band Blitz. Going as NIDGE-BLITZ, the all-star lineup featuring
former members of Blitz, Patriot, and Disorderly Conduct plans to
tour the states in November/ December 2004. Empire Falls entered the
studio for three fun filled days in August and came out with a
product that they have been trying to achieve for almost ten years.
The new album "Negi-Core Pioneers" captures the band exactly how they
sound live. The record is filled with old songs, new songs, and cover
songs. Recorded mostly live in the studio, this is Empire Falls best
effort and captures the fun, energy, aggression and danger of an
Empire Falls live show. In August 2004, Bryan has also been working
on the mixing/vocals of the bands follow up to "The Underdogs"
titled "On The Attack". The album features basically the same lineup
as "The Underdogs".
"On The Attack" has taken a year to complete but the process has been
easy going and fun. In late 2004 Empire Falls received an unexpected
offer. Empire Falls now has a producer/financier who works with the
majors.
The band is currently working on a year-long project with producer
Ray Winters.
The Notfortheweak record label is also releasing an Empire Falls
tribute CD in 2005/2006 which will feature NYHC legends 25 Ta Life,
as well as 14 other bands covering Empire Falls songs.

1. The Rejects have been back in earnest for 4 or 5 years now, are you happy with the way things are going? And are you still enjoying yourselves?

Yeah, the pressure aint on these days and we can pretty much pick and choose what we do and where we play, not being dictated to by a big Record Label. There’s no drugs around these days which sort of means we’re seeing it for real for the first time and enjoying it much more as a result.

2. When you were young and your debut 7” got its first airing on the John Peel Show did you, as zitty faced  Herberts ever imagine how big the COCKNEY REJECTS were destined to become?

Well the funny thing is Yes! That was the beauty of Punk: Kids with nothing for the first time had a real shot at getting somewhere without having money backing or an Art School background, plus we knew we had the songs……

3. 2 Great Studio Albums, a great Live Album and your 3^rd Studio Lp was OK and although I personally liked “The Wild Ones” it was to much of a departure for a lot of your ‘fans’ to take, come on, you can tell us now, why the sudden change of direction?

Nothing ‘sudden’ about it! Myself, Jeff and Vince had been listening to QUEEN, ZEP, AEROSMITH, SABBATH etc long before the Punk explosion began. The first Album I bought was “Led Zep 2” so as much as we loved well structured Punk, as our understanding of our instruments grew we wanted to take it in that direction rather than rehashing the old stuff. Now that really would have been a rip off!

4. And then you split. Did that come as a direct result of your failure to build a HM fan base or were there other reasons. I believe you had some legal wrangling with your management and EMI didn’t you?

Oh yeah, the legal shit was looming, but basically we just got bored with the music business bullshit and went back to our day jobs!!!

5. Then you re-emerged as ‘The Rejects’ and released the ‘progressive Rock’ “Quiet Storm” LP and the “Back to the Start” 7” on FM-REVOLVER, another change in direction and once again largely ignored by your Hardcore fans (to this day I swear I’m the only person who actually admits to liking that one). What were you actually aiming for with “Quiet Storm”?

“Quiet Storm” was, first and foremost, for us. If anybody liked it, Great. If they didn’t, we didn’t care. At least ‘Kerrang’ voted it 5^th best Album of the year, and you liked it, so not bad Eh?

6. !n 1990 you decided to get ‘Punkier’ again with the “Lethal” Album, which was generally well received and rumours of a COCKNEY REJECTS reformation abound, were you genuinely considering a return to the fold or were you just ‘testing the water’?

Nah, we just fancied recording an Album. There wasn’t really any thought of a come-back.

7. Peoples reaction to “Lethal”  must have been very encouraging, why did it take you almost 10 years before Gigging again?

As I said, gigging didn’t even occur to us at the time, but after the reaction to “Greatest Hits Vol IV” it just kinda seemed the time was right to do it all again. Its up to you guys to decide if the decision was right!

8. Once you did return you played gigs in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Holland I think before you got round to playing the UK, what on Earth was all that about?

Strangely enough the offers from abroad came in long before any British Promoters woke up to the fact that we were back. There seemed more enthusiasm from across the water, and once that filtered back over here we knew the time was right.

9. That said, the crowd at your first 'major' UK Gig (Morecambe 2001) was pretty amazing, I know COCK SPARRER were on the same bill and played immediadely after you, but were you surprised at the amount of people who were there to see you?

Yeah, that was really humbling. We were all dead chuffed with that one.

10. Your current line-up includes members of RED ALERT, with both Bands actively gigging and recording isn't there always a danger of a conflict of interest?

Well Les Cobb doesn't play for RED ALERT any longer, and Tony Van and the rest of the boys are cool with things. RED ALERT play more frequently than the Rejects, but we all sit down and plan stuff so as nothing clashes and everybody stays happy.

11. Is it right that when this line-up first got together you toyed with the idea of renaming the band 'Cockney Reds' or 'Red Rejects', that cant be right can it?

No! Cockney Reds ?!!? COCKNEY REDS ??? No! No! No!.

12. "Out of the Gutter" was, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best, Album release of 2003, were you surprised at how well it was received?

Thanks for that. Yeah we're pleased with the album and we're chuffed that its been well received. I just wish the distribution was a bit more comprehensive.

13. You recently played an 'invite only' gig at West Ham, was that recorded for posterities sake and will that be appearing as a 'Live' album anytime soon, you know, in much the same as "Greatest Hits Volume.3" was recorded in front of an invited audience?

No plans at present. But the show was video taped maybe for future release as part of a compilation of Rejects live around the World on DVD! I've been working on that project for a while now.

14.  I've heard you dont follow the football much these days, but in the unlikely event that West Ham make the Div.1 play-offs this year (Wolves have more chance of staying in the Premiership) wouldn't you be tempted to rerecord or at least reissue "Bubbles" just to show a bit of support?

Maybe a Live version, if I can remember the chords....

15. Any plans for a follow up to "Out of the Gutter" - You'd be daft not to?

Yes, we're definately looking at recording a new studio album this year, but we haven't decided on a label just yet.

16. What about Gigs? I heard you're only gonna play festivals from now on, is that right? How come you've made that decision?

Thats not strictly true, but at the moment the festivals (and their promoters) seem to embrace the band with, shall we say....more enthusiasm than the local club promoters do. Maybe if they got off their arses and got busy things may get different.

17. So you dont like getting down and dirty in the Pubs, Clubs, and Dives anymore?

All of its Great! I love playing somewhere like 'Witchwood' in Manchester just as much as playing in front of 25,000 in Madrid....it all beats pushing a Paint brush!

18. And HITS/Wasted is going to be your only UK date of 2004 (other than the West Ham gig mentioned above), so what have you got planned to make it something special, something memorable?

At present it is, but as soon as somethings up it'll go straight on the website, and oh yes Morecambe will be memorable....for all the right reasons.

19. Anything else on the cards?

Well, as I said, an album, maybe my pet project of the live compilation DVD and maybe, sometime in 2004 Frater may change his underpants, but dont bet on it! Oh! and a book by Jeff Turner and Garry Bushell will be out in August.

20. Thanks very much for answering these questions, I've waited almost 25 years for a chance to interview the Rejects so now I'm well made up. Anything you wanna add just to finish this off?

Yeah. Thanks sincerly for your support these last 25 years, and I hope we can always live up to your expectations because you all deserve at least that from us. Cheers - Micky Geggus.

1. There's no doubting that KampfZone are a mighty Band indeed, but I
don't think too many people outside of Germany know much about you.
Please give a brief account of your story so far?

KampfZone was already founded in 1994. Then under different changing
names and members. In the beginning it was a Trash-Punk-Band. First
advances were made under the name Erstschlag. At this time we made
one gig and also our first EP "Made in Germany". In 1996 we changed
our name to Kampfzone. About this time we also changed our singer.
Denny from the Oi! Band Hasslich. We knew each other for a few years
when we were Punks. Then we became acquainted with Holm, at that time
he was the singer of the Oi!/Punk Band Restrisko and he wanted to
play drums with KampfZone because he knew there was no advancement
for Restrisiko and he liked our Music. With this line up we recorded
some songs for the compilation "Kraft Durch Oi!".

2. How do you think the Current line-up compares to whats been before?

The Current line-up is a steady state and more prolific than the
others.

3. In your own words describe your Sound?

When we played in Belgium we were announced as "Brutal - German -
Oi!", and I guess that's a good description. Although we don't sound
so `Brutal' in my opinion.

4. Do you consider yourselves an Oi! Band, a Skinhead Band, a
Hardcore Band or a fusion of all three?

In no case we are a Hardcore Band! Of Course we play very fast, but
that's our imagination of Oi! Music. I guess our music isn't effected
by Hardcore in anyway. Maybe some old 80's Hardcore Punk but most
influences are for example Last Resort, Condemned.84, Blitz and so
on, but that was just in the beginning. Now we're developing our own
ideas with a reference to the old Oi! Bands. I guess we're just an
Oi! And Skinhead Band.

5. The `Powers that be' in Germany always seem to be passing various
legislations which outlaws Skinheads and aspects of Skinhead Culture.
How hard is it to keep things together with that sort of `social
engineering' going on all around you?

It's not as hard as you think it would be. We have good friends for
many years and no legislation can split friendships, Only the
concerts becomes less than ever. Most of them are forbidden for the
most absurd reasons. An example: Last year at a concert the police
came to us and said "You got 2 forbidden songs, 1- "Kurze Haare" and
2- "Schwere Boots"" That was funny because we don't have these songs,
our first Album was called "Kurze Haare Schwere Boots" but it makes
no sense to talk about it. For them you'll always be wrong anyway
what you say.

6. Do you get to play many Gigs and how easy is it to advertise them,
do you have to keep them secret to avoid Police Raids and Anti-
Skinhead Protests?

No, We don't have many gigs, maybe 3 - 5 in a year. This was
different in the beginning. But now the Police is watching us,
because to them we are a Nazi Band and we're dangerous, a threat to
the society and so on. So they prohibit our concerts with the
strangest arguments so we have to play concerts under some other
names and not KampfZone. it's a very hard time here in Germany and it
goes to a spiral downward. Last Weekend for example was a concert
with some Oi! Bands (Barking Dogs, Last Riot, and Spy Kids) and us.
The organiser was a Punk Rocker and there were many Punks at the
location but before the concert started the police intervened and
stopped it. For the reason that we look like Nazis they suppose that
we play Nazi Music, that's all, without a real cause - Bastards!!!
They restrained us for a few hours and confiscated our instruments.
A.C.A.B. !!!

7. What Bands have you played with, any from good ol' Blighty?

We've played with different Oi! & RAC Bands like, Rabauken,
Trabireiter, Chaoskrieger, Nordwind, Brassknucles, Kroizfoier, No
Alibi, Crop No.1, Ultima Thule, Boots & Braces, Test.A, The Jinx,
Headcase, Steelcapped Strength, Eisenacher Jungs, Les Vilains, The
Casuals, Get Out, Last Riot, Backstreet Firm and many more. Recently
there's been a British Band, Bakers Dozen, interested in making a gig
with us, but we have played with some British Bands some time ago,
one gig in 98 with Celtic Warrior and another was in 99 with
Condemned.84. Maybe noone knows us in England!.


8. You've never played a gig in Britain?

Til now we haven't played in England, but if anyone wants to see us -
no problem, organise a concert and we'll be there.

9. If someone wanted to contact you with the offer of a gig or two or
if they just wanted some info from you how can they get in touch?

We've Still got our Post-Address :-

KampfZone
PF 3133, 06398 Bernburg, Germany.

And we also have a Homepage (welcome in the new Century)
www.kampfzone.net or email kontakt@kampfzone.net we play almost
everywhere, just get in contact with us.

10. And those who want to hear any of your Records, what's available
and where can they get them?

OK, We have 3 Albums, one Split CD and some EP's. Look at our
discography on our homepage. You can get most at www.dimrecords.de or
at other scene Mail-Orders or at edonkey of course. No, no, no it was
a joke ;-)

11. Anything new coming out anytime soon?

We've just finished the recording of our next EP "Cops", there are 3
new songs and a cover version. Watch out for it! We also plan to make
a full album in the fall. and some other not fixed plans are made but
I wont tell about them yet its too soon.

12. And finally a message to supporters of KampfZone around the World?

We'd like to greet all the Skinheads & BootBoys around the World who
are into our Music. All the best to you and your Zine and thanks for
the Interview. And Last but not least our regards to the English
Skinheads!.

Lonesoldier was founded in late 2002 by vocalist Chris and Drummer
Big.J. The Goal was to create an Oi! Band that drew more on early
American Oi! and Hardcore as influences in contrast to the
melodic 'Street Punk' that was the norm at the time.
Guitarist Mike Joined the Band early on to form the first and
tentative Lonesoldier line-up.
After a steady stream of 2nd Guitarists and Bass players, Kyle and
Jason were recruited and brought with them a proounced Hardcore
influence to the Band.
In late 2003 the band went ito the studio for the first time and
recorded the "Keep 'em firing" 6-song Demo. A brief break from Live
shows followed, during which the Band wrote 3 of the 4 songs that
would later appear on the 2004 Demo (reviewed Below).
Lonesoldier play an angry mix of HC and Oi! that has been compared to
Bands ranging from Negative Approach (early), Sick of it All, and
Youth Defence League, to Moonstomp, The Unruly, and Condemned.84.
An unabashedly Patriotic Band, Lonesoldier hopes to provide an
alternative voice to PC Leftists and Flag burners who seem to want to
establish a foothold in todays Oi! scene, and take their listeners
back to a time when Hardcore was still 'Punk' and Skinhead was still
a strong proud movement.

Lonesoldier - Demo 2004 (CD-r)
This CD-r Demo arriving in my letter Box was quite a pleasent
surprise for me cos I'd never heard of Lonesoldier before and was
sort of expecting the sort of bogstandard Oi! By Numbers style you
get from most new/unheard of Bands these days (especially Americans),
But thankfully that is the case in this instance. What you do get is
4 examples of pretty good Mid tempo Oi! ala Condemned.84, Steelcapped
Strength, and YDL, just the way I like it, mixed in with a bit of
NRSV, UNRULY, PATRIOT style Hardcore just to give it that bit of an
edge. Cant go far wrong can they?
