USvsTHEM presents

STRIKE ANYWHERE (Richmond, Virginia - Fat Wreck Chords)
"As much of the country, and punk music, broke into political ambiguity and disinterest at the turn of the century, Richmond, VA.'s Strike Anywhere bucked the trend with Change is a Sound. Unintimidated by the recent "uncooling" of politics, vocalist Thomas Barnett wears his convictions on his sleeve, referencing Zinn, Goldman and historic antifascist movements. The band, meanwhile, makes no secret of its influences, playing melodic, energetic punk in the realm of Avail, Soulside or 7 Seconds. At home in a sweaty basement, a warehouse or a yawning club replete with stage lighting, Strike Anywhere comes with a cynics advisory warning."

Jesus why cant he just read a few chomsky books and pretend to understand them like the rest of us?

This was a great gig. Cut the Reins were well better than when I saw them at Drumacanoo, really good short set. Only Fumes & Lobotomies were excellent too. Strike Anywhere were really nice bunch of guys, Good set too.
