Atlas Shrugged "Old Familiar Face" 7"

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.
