A review of the Enough MCD from Issue 3, Number 9 of Equalizing-X-Distort 
(Sept / Oct, 2003)


Civil Defense CD
The stats on this band are that they feature members of INTENT TO INJURE and a 
few nu metal type bands. The reality is some rough around the edges sounding 
early New York hardcore. The stuff that pre-dates AF or the fucking CRO MAGS. 
The singers sounds like the guy from URBAN WASTE. So much so that "Police 
Brutality" is stuck in my head after hearing the CD. Their music is the no 
bullshit attack practised by OUT COLD or LAST IN LINE. Borrowing their name 
from the F.U.'s, I get that the idea of the band is to start up a no gimmicks 
style hardcore band. I don't think the band can get away from the youth crew 
sound that pervades Boston area bands and helps to explain the ample use of 
back up vocals. It enhances the energy of this release. 6 fuckin tracks of 
youth crew inspired raw sounding hardcore. (Striving for Togetherness Records /
