hands down the best 3rd wave ska band to lay it down in valencia, california

I think it was 1995 or 1996. 18 years old. I was hangin' out at the best punk hardcore record store in Milano (New Zabriskie Point, now defunct) on a Saturday afternoon when a skinhead I had seen a couple of times before arrived with a bag full of records. "I'm selling this stuff, 10000 lire each (today's 10 euros). You know, I don't listen to this stuff anymore, I'm into Oi! now". I was still in high school, got flunkd a couple of times, I had no real job so I had not much money in my pocket but could afford three records. Youth of Today "can't close my eyes", Heresy "face up to it" and this Infest one. I had read about them in 'zines and punk mags for years but could not put my hands on them. This is the record that got me into serious hardcore punk thrash. Best punk record ever. Still makes me feel like I want to destroy the whole place I'm in every time I play it. I had the luck to see them in 2016 in Leeds with Ripcord (another great fuckin' band from the 80's) and other more contemporary cool bands as part of their european reunion shows. Stille wear their tees at work, still sing them songs while driving my car. Thanx Infest, this shit is what keeps me alive and kicking.

One of the greatest albums ever made. Utter perfection.

Perfect album from to back. I have probably listened to this 1000 times and it still never gets old.

When I saw them in Baltimore for A389 fest a few years ago, I was in the front and Joe pointed the mic right at me and let me scream "Where is it?" at the end of "Where's the Unity?" and it was one of the greatest moments of my life. The video is on here.

If there ever was a band that summed up how I feel every day this is it

In 88 this band was the best it has ever been. With Chris Clift as the drummer. Me and my best friend would roadie in Chris's drums just so we could get into the shows underage.

1. Break The Chain time for you to listen i got something to say get back! stay the fuck away! keep your distance and i'll be free plastic molds, human shapes all distorted, figures of hate all the static fucks my brain must escape break the chain! 2.

Where's The Unity all you do is talk, you never act hypocrite, and that's a fact positive scene is a must without friendship, there's no trust visions of unity seem so nice but when i see a fight, i think twice when i go to the shows and see stupidity all i can say is 'where's the unity?' alcohol seperates us use your head, keep in touch positive scene in our land lending your brother that helping hand visions of unity seem so nice but when i see a fight, i think twice when i go to shows i see the stupidity 9. Screwed Life is hard, then you die plus mass questions, asking why but saying this and wishing that wasting time, never coming back got to be tough and watch out for pitfalls not paying attention, costing it all temptation along side, twisting the mind finding a weakness, to bait his line then there's friends, so you thought seems he lied, so you got ripped off next it's her, she's so sweet always feeling good, ain't love neat quickly see beauty turn into beast catching your neighbor 10 inches deep all that's left in your head interested to see what tortures ahead screwed... 10.

Iran Scam ronald reagan, contra scam hurdling towards another Vietnam political misuse, congress unknowing people decieved, while aid is growing ronnie's helpers, design master plan to overthrow a government, in the name of uncle sam arms for the hostages, cash for contras missiles and guns, bought with US dollars... 14. Life's Halt looking up above, light fills the skies showers of warheads begin the winless fight everyone responsible, being at fault these heathen ways, caused life's halt seems evil thoughts, finally overpowered once good people, time has soured forget human compassion, fend for thyself playing fate's chards, dealt by yourself seems everyone drew cards of death as radiation blankets, smothers last breath all is lost, taken for granted realizing only then, how priceless a planet pushing the button, releasing the bombs resetting this world, too far gone a new beginning progressing again until reaching another sick society end... 15. Slave kiss their ass no fucking way! on your knees do as they say born on your knees slave to society kiss their ass no fucking way! on your knees slave to society 16. Head First no second thoughts doubt always hurts brain before pain attack it headfirst there's thoughts behind my actions head is clear no distractions headfirst! no second thoughts doubt always hurts brain before pain attack it headfirst! 17. Sick And Tired every show the same ol' thing do you pay attention to what we sing? brother against brother, such a shame brainless gangs, it's getting lame! bashing some heads your way of fun but when it's one on one that's when the fun is done all the slogans of unity that's something I don't see a scene that's something plagued with groups of hate let's just coexist and try to relate proving themselves men bunch of fucken shit i'm getting tired i'm getting sick of it! 18.
