Collusion are sick new DCHC band that, while being part of a specific
scene, maintain their own grounding and stand off to the side in their
own way. This music on this demo reminds me alot of No Justice's "Still
Fighting" with a frustrated gruffer singing. This is some hardcore that
definitely still falls on the "punk" end of the spectrum. The lyrics are
chuck-full of hate, frustration and angst. Great shit. Members of Coke
Bust, Public Suicide, Misled Youth, Pure Disgust, etc etc.
