This was another split label release
with Fistheldhigh Records. Although never immensely popular, Atlas
Shrugged was always a band I was happy to work with. That was
largely because I share so many of the viewpoints on hardcore as
band member Chris Weinblad. Whether you like them or not, this can
be said of this New York band: they played the type of music they
enjoyed playing and listening too and didn't subcumb to trends. They never hopped on any bandwagon.
I also respected them because they kept playing and practicing even
though they knew touring or getting "big" was never a
possibility. They were "older" hardcore guys who had jobs
and financial responsibilities and the option of not working for
a month, or even a couple of weeks, was just not a possibility.
They still did what they loved to do, play hardcore.
