Although the band had relocated to California in 1995, and subsequently signed to an independent label there, their musical roots were firmly back in
New Jersey , or more specifically theNew York hardcore scene. The songs were short and played at a frenetic pace, with ample use of arefrain , known in the genre as a breakdown. This was to be their sound throughout their stay of three years atIndecision Records .Track listing
