+ lyric sheet. First pressing on Fist with handwritten lyrics, second Fist press with typed/computerized lyrics.

Powerful & angry NY hardcore with street skin / unity lyrics, sometimes patriotic or even religious, but not racist or fascist. There have been lots of rumours about this band, most of them are lies I’m sure, some might be true… I don’t know. I can just talk about the music & the lyrics on this LP, and both are OK with me even if I don’t agree with all their statements. [7]  

Harter und wütender Skin-Core aus New York, mit dem üblichen, etwas verdrehten Stolz & Patriotismus, aber ohne rassistische Nazi-Skin-Einflüsse. Gute, kraftvolle Musik mit sehr viel Street-Feeling und den entsprechenden, manchmal etwas naiven Texten. Es gab zu viele Gerüchte über diese Band, keine Ahnung, was davon wahr ist, diese Platte ist jedenfalls ganz gut.

Tracks: intro bust / its your choice / crazy but not insane / fuck your attitude / as one / we’re the crew // don’t forget the struggle, don’t forget the streets / in the mirror / skinhead youth / growing-up, the next step / judgement day / fighting for our country
