2008:POLICE STATE EP -- OUT NOW ON iTUNES AND MOST OTHER MUSIC DOWNLOAD SITES!

TOTAL RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY

Civil Defense. Hardcore Militia.



Raging, blistering, brutal hardcore.



Constitutionalist Libertarians. We believe in our republic laid down by the founding fathers. We love our country, but fear and loathe our government as it stands today. We are doing our part to shake the masses out of their apathetic state; and to remind the government that it is accountable to the people - not corporate lobbyists an global interests.



We formed in 1998 (way before the 2 other "Civil Defense" bands that have popped up in the last couple years). We were active for a couple years, then went underground for a while. During this time we regrouped, retrained, and refocused - and now we're back and full tilt raging!



Based out of Providence-Boston-New Bedford - Civil Defense is a six man squad that includes veteran and current members of bands such as Intent To Injure, Beyond the Embrace, So Automatic, Black Spot, Emission, Roswell, Voices Forming Weapons, She Rides! and more.



In 2008 we released an EP titled "2008:Police State" (available for download om iTunes, etc.) We are currently finishing our new LP - titled "Total Resistance to Tyranny." We're mixing right now. It's not only an album, its tyranny response manual. We live in darker days since our formation in 98, and while our first CD EP "Enough" dealt with a lot of issues in the hardcore scene, you'll see a new focus and mission in the new material.



Weve stormed venues with a bunch of great bands over the years including Negative Approach, A Poor Excuse, Agnostic Front, Subzero, Last In Line, 9 Shocks Terror, The Strykers, Harleys War, Close Call, Fit for Abuse, Think I Care, Wisdom in Chains, Kill Your Idols, Good Clean Fun, Police Beat, XFilesX, RNR, Some Kind of Hate, Murphys Law, No Warning, Freedom Force, CSDO, Verse, Reign Supreme, and many more.
