AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY - Above the Law 7" EP


FAR OUT RECORDS -- Miami (1994)

Danny Lore - bass, vocals
Joe Koontz - guitar, backing vocals

We Won't Submit
Above the Law
Under Your Authority
Court 22

Beware, all officers of the law. This band is going to bash your brains out with baseball bats (judging by the cover) or at least shout bad words at you in unison (judging by the record). In spite of the trumpet and on-again-off-again ska beats, this is a pretty aggressive guitar record and not at all good-time college boy ska. That is a good thing. No pleas for for racial harmony or manufactured memories of Kingston here, just emerging from trailers and taking on the Metro Dade Police. Fuck you, man!

  1. To add a bit of clarity for readers of this blog, both the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Sports Authority come under this band's astute and timeless world-view -- Paul Spanbauer
