Policy of Three (policy of 3)

Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Policy of 3 page at MySpace.com. We hope you enjoy the songs. As some of you may know, Policy of 3 broke up in 1995. We toured the US several times, toured Western Europe, put out a few records, made lots of friends & had lots of fun.



"Though Policy of 3 is probably considered an Emo band due to the era in which we existed, I will always think of us as a hardcore/punk band, because the band was inspired by the best elements of the New York City hardcore/punk and Dischord scenes of the late 1980's and early 1990's. However, the real motivation behind the band and the urgency directed to our music probably had more to do with the absurdities which were frequently and consistently expelled from the hardcore/punk scene before and during our early days as a band. This was a time of skinheads and the spectacular implosion of the straightedge scene on the East Coast when the self-righteous fell off the wagon. This was a time of Hare Krishna and vegan facism; two brief epochs which made so many punks look so stupid. This was a time style seemed to triumph over substance. This was a time of creeping commercialism and slick professionalism. This was a time when hardcore bands praised the Gulf War. This was a time when Punk Rock merged with metal then merged with Grunge. This record might sound hopelessly dated and irrelevant in the year 2004 (and beyond). However, at the time these songs represented an attempt to create something all our own, something that was removed from the machismo of the pit and the esoterica of post punk." - chris fry- taken from the Policy of 3 anthology
