Containing henchmen
Kevin Sharp, Dave Whitworth, Shayne Huff, Bill Kelliher and Mike Brennan, the Atlanta-based quintet unify their individual talents reminiscent of their other primary acts in PRIMATE, but take it back to the early days of punk and hardcore when unharnessed energy and devastating speed was the only way to live. Relapse Records officially issued the band's debut album Draw Back A Stump in July, following the extremely limited self-released CD version last year. Relapse's re-release bears three additional tracks not found on the initial version, the entire platter fully remixed and remastered with updated artwork and unleashed on CD, LP and digital delivery.

"...an album that could line up well on the skate ramp boombox along with Minor Threat, Government Issue and Millions Of Dead Cops... If you like punk and grind, this album is pretty much mandatory. Did you really expect something involving members of both Brutal Truth and
Mastodon to suck?" - Decibel
"...it's just so simple, unpretentious and bludgeoning, it's almost hard to believe a band this straightforward manages to still sound pretty fresh. 9/10" - Metal Storm
"...these veteran players deliver a scorching new effort, chock full of blazing punk-rock-flavored, d-beat-induced grindcore that is fresh and exciting while giving nod to the glory days." - Blow The Scene
"...a hardcore record that is distinctly traditional, while still making occasional nods at all manner of more recent advancements... 4/5" -
