high energy And you can learn Spanish. Hard and fast.
7 Seconds meets SNFU meets Minor Threat.
Excellent old-school hardcore punk.
I liked it enough to write this review. .
Highly Inspirational
It is very oldschool and raw. Though i am relatively new to the "punk" scene (and it's politically introspective music) i have listened to alot of old stuff and new-dare i say "pop-punk" (though there shouldn't be such a thing)-i found this Union 13 album to be an explosively energetic and emotional recording. This is one of my favorite albums, though most of my friends think I'm crazy. Songs like REGRETS and BONDED AS ONE instantly place a powerful feeling of individuality and unity within you at the same time. TODO ES UNA POLITICA has great lyrics, and I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE is one of the most beautifully crafted songs i've heard a punk band preform. From OVER THE HILL onward the album is outstanding. This is their best album: Epitaph seems to be forcing them to sing songs only in English, but at the same time they are taking away the very thing that makes them Union 13. . . i recommend this recording for anyone seeking to wake up out of their routine life.

great cd
its better than whats on "why are we destroying ourselves", but i suggest you buy that too. this is some fast stuff. they are good cd's. plus union 13 did the roots radicals song on the give em the boot compilation, and that song kicks a**.
Bilingual Hardcore Punk
Much has been made about their bilingualism. Union 13 mix politics and guitars in a thrashing mess that recalls the original LA punk scene. However it should be noted that the LA punk scene was always heavy with Chicanos. This is just a new chapter and a new decade. As the band says, "Todo es politico!".
