Barefoot Army (BFA) was what I'd call a thrash band, but they also had a pretty unique sound mixing different genre elements of punk, metal, thrash, and even ska in one of their songs. The first Redding show I ever went to in the spring of 2003 at the Millville Grange Barefoot Army was the opening band. I'd been to a handful of other concerts before, but this was the first hardcore/punk show I'd ever been to, and during their set was the first time I ever went into a pit as well. Sadly, though, I only saw this band twice before they broke up. During that time I wasn't all that into them musically either, just the energy of their live shows. It wasn't until a while after they'd broke up that I got really into them, and their stuff grew on me. Which is at the same time I got bummed that I never really got to appreciate them while they were still around. I'm happy I at least have their albums.
Their old website is no longer up, but one of their guitar players Myke made a myspce for them some years ago. http://www.myspace.com/barefootarmysince2001
Don't Join Up
I won't die for this nationI won't die, for this lost cause
I won't kill, for this nation
You don't like it, I don't fucking care
Chorus: Die with your money, your morals your god
And die with your system, you're living a fraud
Die with your ego, your gun and big dick
And die with your nation, it's making me sick
I don't see, how you sit back
Take part, in their games
Don't join up, and support their murderYou don't like it, I don't fucking care
Don't join up, or go and kill
Don't join up, and end up dead
...Since 2001
