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".
