In 1985, Verbal Abuse recorded this seminal album after moving from Texas to San Francisco a few years prior much like their peers in D.R.I., living on a diet supplied by soup kitchens and whatever else they could get their hands on, epitomizing the term hardcore punk. "Just An American Band" is hardcore at its most raw and primal, a testament to a time when to be hardcore, you had to live hardcore. Now available on colored vinyl.
