Strife reunion shows announced
from lambgoat...
Inactive California metal/hardcore outfit Strife will reportedly play three shows in May, including their first Toronto show in eleven years. Here's
the latest information we have:
5/10 Montreal, Canada @ L'Inco
5/11 Toronto, Canada @ Kathedral w/ To The Lions
5/12 TBA
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

one of my fav's of this era in hardcore.. Saw them play several times back in the day. ONE TRUTH and even IN THIS DEFIANCE is some of the best shit.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I heard about that. Honestly, I don't care. They're a big MEH in my books.

I'm kind of surprised they're playing up here. It's not like people went apeshit for them last time they were here.

I was into the 7" when it came out in '92. They where one of the few bands by that time playing real HC. I liked One Truth but after that they just
went the way of metal. Why won't bands play the freakin' USA!?

I saw them here with SOIA and people indeed went apeshit. That was a great show.

I was at that show. People liked the band, but by going apeshit I mean that the crowd was so huge and insane that it's worth it to come all the way
up here when they're only doing a few shows. They weren't that well regarded.

A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I think there should be a Day of Mourning reunion too in support of this haha. Or some other classic 90's Toronto hardcore that brought the edge.

The last thing we need is a Day of Mourning reunion. Coalition Against Shane on the other hand would fucking rule.

The early New Age/Victory stuff isn't that bad and it was HC compared to other bands that where big/getting big back in the early 90's but by 'In This
Defiance' which was '96/'97 maybe latter they had strarted tuning down their guitars and playing metal. I think they even had one of the guys from
Sepultura on that record. It's pretty bad. I mean I like old Sepultura but nothing after Chaos AD.

That isn't an issue for me. I just flat out don't think these guys were that good IMHO.

Bands like this I think, why? They're whole name is built on the straight edge most of their songs revolve around straight edge and at least half the
band haven't been straight edge for upwards of 10 years. WTF?

People hate because they can't relate and if your not down your just a clown with underwears that have some brown.

Yeah, don't get wrong I liked the 7" and 'One Truth' when they came out and that's saying A LOT for me considering I had already 'dropped out' of HC
by then or atleast the metal/kick-boxing infested scene it had become. Strife was a fresh of breathe air just like Mouthpiece had been a couple years
before them but I guess they got older as people do and their tastes/friends/lives changed and so did their music. IMHO, just not for the better.

nah, a six year old has better taste in music.
