Besides Violent Reaction are one of the best, most intense, straight edge punk bands currently active. Originally a one-man band, they've morphed into a full band that tours Europe and the States. They bounce between kinetic hardcore, street punk and mid tempo oi-inspired shout-along anthems. And these guys are really pissed off. One sample slice of lyrics: "Violent Reaction take no shit/Straight Edge/Fuck You." Enough said. (Aaron Carnes)
