ACTS OF SEDITION


 More Bay Area? Millinneal Bay Area hardcore? Sure...and fuck do ACTS OF SEDITION ever hold up. I think the first time I saw them was in in 2004 when I was rolling with IRON LUNG and HERO DISHONEST, then I helped book a midwest tour for them in 2006 (also with HERO DISHONEST maybe?), but they were still kicking (and with a second guitarist) when I moved back to SF in 2008 and they had turned into an actual machine. Full throttle hardcore that shied away from the stadium DBeat that dominated the era in favor of speed and off kilter that are like a collision of early century fastcore and '90s dark East Bay punk. Even if "Sun Or Death" is the only song that stays with you...trust me here.
