Reviews: (Not the dudes from DC: they broke up, remember?) Well, I don't really wanna review this record, but since it was given to me and I promesed I would I guess I have to. JUST JIVIN! This record is great! The members of this band are all bro's and they sure crank out some powerful tines. The singing sounds like Frank Sinatra Jr. every once and a while, but not enough to annoy ya. The best thing about this record is the cool lyrics which tend to be more positive than negative - a nice change. Buy this record!! -Bess (from Paranoia #5, Fall 1982) Great, great BYO follow-up release to their sampler LP - thrash with hooks and melodies, plus lyrics urging action, unity and spirit. Influenced by Oi, Dischord bands, Social Distortion, 7 Seconds, but ultimately this is LA not DC. -Tim Yohannon (from Maximum Rock'n'Roll #2, September/October 1982)
