INITIAL STATE (1993-1994?)

Brooding tribal crust. This is one of my top all time punk bands. Featuring ex-members of Antischism, Initial State only put out one album "Abort the Soul". This LP was released in 1994 and then remastered to CD in 1998. Initial State only perfomed 3 live shows, two of which can be watched HERE and HERE. This bleak perspective of human's interaction with the natural environment should be mandatory listening for everyone, frankly. MORE INFO

ANTISCHISM (1988-1998)

I often say that Antischism is the pinnacle 1990's American crust-punk group. Numerous excellent punk bands formed in its wake, such as .FUCKINGCOM, Chronicle A/D, Initial State, and Thank God. Antischism was concentrated social, political, and moral fury. MORE INFO
