Released by Reality Clash Records in 2002.
Band from Richmond consisting of members from Counselors & Hurtin for Certain.
Started out in late 1998 but called themselfs Steel Toe Alarm Clock back then. Released a selfproduced Ep (songs also featured on this LP) and was also featured on the Full Force Attak compilation.
Its easy to hear that this album was released the year after 9/11 and as ridiculous as songs like Live free or die might sound for a swede its easy to understand the mentality they where in at the state.
This is patriotism, warmongering and anger at its most primal stage. But this is more like a patriotic pissing contest then a call for foreign genocide.
Most songs are about patriotism and "striking back" at the "attackers" but they also deal with workingclass pride (American working man) and the justice system (Give 'em the chair & Street level justice).
A superb album that is dragged down thanks to its blind patriotism. They are currently about to release a new record and i hope that they have some new song material now when the dust have settled.
7/10
