Reviews:

The Faction have made a really good, contagious 6 song 12" EP. This record rocks in a kind of 1977 punk style with great sing along choruses. The recording is well done and "Let's Go Get Cokes", "Terror in the Streets" and "Tongue Like a Battering Ram" are all real fine cuts. At times the Faction almost sound like Canada's Youth Youth Youth. A good record to check out.
-Greg C. (from Task #2, June 1985)

Slowing down the pace, five of the six tracks here are mid-tempo punk. While they maintain their overall California HC sound despite the change of pace, the FACTION do throw in bits of funk, etc., too. Personal-type lyrics.
