Reissued 11/28/2025

Policy of 3 was one of the great hardcore bands of the late '80s (known as Matter of Fact at that point) and the early '90s (not considered an emo band until years later). Their sound was passionate and compelling with a sound that was cutting edge at the time; heavily influenced by the late '80s Dischord hardcore sound. At the time emotive hardcore was something new and exciting. It was all about passion, anger, and was really just another aspect of hardcore... long before emo was turned into frivolous pop punk.  Policy of 3 helped to define this sound/genre and this release is an amazing testament to one of the great hardcore bands from that time.  (Stonehenge Records)
