Originally released on June 25, 1996, through Blackout! Records, the album established the band as one of the defining voices of melodic hardcore by combining the urgency and energy of classic New York hardcore with memorable hooks, positive lyrics, and infectious singalong choruses. Recorded and mixed in only three days, the album's raw immediacy became one of its greatest strengths. Featuring fan favorites including \"Family Tree,\" \"5 Yr. Plan,\" and \"Spirit of '84,\" the record captures the band's early chemistry and uncompromising DIY spirit while laying the foundation for a career that would influence generations of melodic hardcore musicians. Its concise songwriting and heartfelt performances continue to resonate three decades after its original release. Presented on CD, this 30th Anniversary pressing revisits one of the most enduring and beloved debut albums in melodic hardcore, preserving a milestone release that remains every bit as energetic and inspiring today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Yr.
