There were more angry punk bands in the '90s than you could shake a stick at. Still, when Epitaph owner Brett Gurewitz discovered East LA group Union 13, he knew they had something special. With a high-energy sound, which combined the dark, intense ferocity of early '80s hardcore bands with street-punk shout-along choruses of bands like Rancid, the band had made a name for themselves-DIY style-by playing in basements and backyards. Union 13 released three albums on Epitaph between 1997-2000, singing in both English and Spanish. They even do a killer Spanish version of Rancid's "Roots Radical." (AC)
