probably one of the best tie together bands ever. if you put AO between certain bands, you get a mix that flows SO good... ive managed to tie dead kens to motorhead to misfits to agnostic front to black flag... man theres so many more i know ive managed to make flow. if i dont make sense, ill try to explain more.

but not only do i find them a good flow fix, i find that it helps people who DESPISE punk and its affiliates turn... and enjoy punk. a gateway band as most would have just said, and their way sweeter than greenday or MCR (not hard to do, but still) ive had friends go from stuff like acdc and the trews to agent orange to dead kennedies to the best of the best hardcore punk that they rejected so much before AO.

anyways, thats why i like em... and my ACTUAL purpose to this thread is to see what you people think, and what you know. where are they from? how old were they when they started, when did they start? you know.. id like to find out as much as humanly possible about these dudes, and hear what kind of rep they have.

Yes! Living in Darkness is a great album, and Bloodstains is a great song.

Living in Darkness is a classic.
