This self-titled 2026 cassette compiles their first official reissue drawn from the reviled “End the Warzone” compilation and the raw, intense “Breakaway” EP, delivering aggressive, fast-paced hardcore with crossover thrash undertones that encapsulate the fury of the mid‑’80s NYHC scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe tape flows with standout tracks such as “Spirit Of Youth,” “Straight Ahead (Think Right),” and “Breakaway,” all driven by rapid-fire riffs, urgent vocals, and sudden slamming breakdowns. The inclusion of previously unreleased studio cuts (“Nothing Song,” “Want Authority,” “Take Action”) and live performances from CBGB (Nov. 23, 1986) gives a dynamic and historical dimension to the release.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA great addition for fans of Minor Threat, Agnostic Front, Sick of It All, Gorilla Biscuits\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New Tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e1.
