Hard Resistance - Lawless and Disorder

The fact that this album is getting such a good feedback from the hardcore crowds proves that we’re living in a good times for hardcore. I can imagine just couple of years ago when the scene was infected by that metalcore crap it wouldn’t get so much love. But that days are gone and hardcore is getting its shit together again. If you got even slight idea about European hardcore from the 90’ there’s a huge chance you heard about this band.

Strength Records signed Deafness By Noise

New album will be presented on the 1st of December at the European Hardcore Party, more info soon!The band has been around since early 1991 and has played almost 500 shows around Europe as a headliners or supported the bands like Suicidal Tendencies,Sick of it All, Rise Against, Madball and much more.
