Convict - Demo

     Fast, raw, and gritty hardcore punk from El Monte, California on Fight 'Em All Records. Convict will surely catch your attention with their groovy riffs and in-your-face lyrics that tackle some very real modern issues like police brutality. Violent and upfront, the lyrics paint an image of a group of pissed- off people who are not to be fucked with or crossed. Lyrics from the song On the Attack go like this,

Under our feet is where you're at

No blood unspilled

We're on the attack.

There's no where to run

Nowhere to hide 

Your lucks run out 

And you're in our sights

And it's your time to die. 

Just a few days ago, in a thread on the B9, Convict announced that the songs on the tape got mastered at Dead Air Studios and will be released as a 7" on Six Feet Under Records this spring. Pre-orders will be coming in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground. For now you can buy the tape and a shirt on the Fight 'Em All Records Big Cartel.

State of Affairs Fanzine

A dear friend of mine started a fanzine called State of Affairs where he talks

about hardcore and interviews band members. He sells them at hardcore shows 

in New Jersey so if you want one you can pick one up at a show he'll be at

or you can contact him and possibly order one. 

Here are some ways of getting in touch with him.
