‘They’re giving nothing away, keeping you in your place, for their power and gains, your rights are nil, nothing but swill’.

A blistering debut LP of politically charged hardcore from Unified Action, who feature members of Tied Down and Diaz Brothers. While the overriding emphasis is on rapid-fire delivery, the band are not afraid to allow the songs to breathe, lending them an even more ferocious punch. Pacing dynamics are well-judged, deploying powerful mid-paced grooves and semi-blast beat eruptions to impressive effect. Lyrical themes include the need for community activism, working-class exploitation, and military interventionism.
