SOME STILL BELIEVE - S/t (2001)


SOME STILL BELIEVE was a straight edge band from Redding in the early 00's. They later relocated to San Fransisco, but in their time as a local band, they pushed the limits of what a band from Redding could accomplish. They released a string of demos, toured the west coast, and dropped this killer seven inch. Something important to note too, this was pre-social media. Getting your band's name out of a small city most don't give a shit about wasn't exactly the easiest thing to do. (And still isn't for that matter.) After disbanding, members of SSB went on to play in a number of notable hardcore bands of the 2000's scene. (Set It Straight / Allegiance / Right On).
