Thomas and Rob recently sat down w/ punknews.org for a lengthy video interview about everything Inquisition. View part 1 of the interview below:
- 1 part Strike Anywhere
- 1 part Ann Beretta
- 1 part River City High
- A dash of revolution
- Mix at high intensity
"A band like Inquisition made a dent in the underground punk community in their heyday, when they should have been a full blown car crash."
- Tim Barry (Avail)
"Very few things will leave as lasting an impression on me as the first chord of the first song I heard by them"
- Jason Black (Hot Water Music)
"Inquisition had it all, the energy, the desperation, political lyrics. It was all there and it got me so psyched"
- Tim (Ensign)
Only a band of arresting importance could be regarded as the foundation of
such mighty conquests as Strike Anywhere, Ann Beretta, and River City High. But Inquisition, a band that remains highly influential in spite of their
brief mid-90’s lifespan, is that important. According to Strike
Anywhere’s Thomas Barnett (ex-Inquisition), the resonance of Inquisition
remains a dear relative to the music he and his band mates are creating
today. (In fact, Thomas' current band, Strike Anywhere, is named from a song by Inquisition.) And notably, all kinds of bands, from an
assortment of scenes, have sighted Inquisition as a necessary inspiration
for their songwriting: Ensign, Anti-Flag, Dashboard Confessional—among
many others.
This October 25th, A-F Records will reissue the former Richmond-based
band’s highly missed—and hard-to-find—"Revolution, I Think It’s Called
Inspiration".
