This is a band that while I was living in S.F. I think many of us took for granted, because they played shows in the Bay Area all the time. I saw these guys a lot, seemed like they were on every show. Sometimes I wasn't even paying attention to them. They always sorta reminded me of a younger, poor mans Adolescents. I bought the 12" before actually ever seeing them. The reason I bought it was because I noticed there was a song titled "fight back". I was pretty sure this must be a cover of the Discharge song with the same name. Nope, not even close. I was pretty closed minded at this point in my life, and really just wanted loud and fast, so this 12" sorta let me down when i plunked the needle down on the platter. It took me years to rediscover this. Its great.. melodic, and catchy as fuck punk rock. Pretty sure these guys were from San Jose(although the addy on the back jacket is from somewhere else). It was produced by someone from the Faction(not Steve C). Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteHi Nate, how's it going?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I'd like to say Devoid of Faith is great and I was surprised when I discovered you played in this band. Congratulations for your great blog too.
About Front Line, I didn't this band and I like to hear them. Only for your info, this record was produced by Adam "Bomb" Segal of The Faction. Bye for now!!
Front Line was definitely from San Jose. Joe Sib played in a bunch of bands there. He now does a spoken word/comedy routine that talks about growing up punk in SJ.
ReplyDeleteI like this, although I have no idea what's going on with the drumming on the song all i want. Sounds fucked.
ReplyDeletefucked=good
ReplyDeleteGREAT STUFFS! thanks
ReplyDeletelove this record. their song on rat music for rat people 3 is great too. does anyone happen to have the no alternative/lifeline (post frontline) cassette?
ReplyDeleteThis album is AWESOME! It kinda sounds like early Descendents to me.. but with a lil more of a metal influence.. Really BADASS!! I'm sure there have prolly been a shitload of bands called Front Line over the years but these guy's are straight OG punk n I love it!!
ReplyDeleteyeah I still have this and it's great. They played in Sacramento (they were SJ) a lot and always put on a good show and were super nice dudes. They did have that rock/metal vibe - I remember the lead guitar was a glam shredder
ReplyDeleteLike to have the no alternative/lifeline (post frontline)
ReplyDeletereally love this album, so nostalgic lol
