Taken By Force - Baltimore

NEW 7" and FULL LENGTH OUT NOW ON A389 RECORDS

About Me

TAKEN BY FORCE hail from Baltimore City, keeping with Baltimore's tradition of brutal, aggressive hardcore TBF has forged their music to be as abrasive and unforgiving as the streets they walk. An unstoppable juggernaut ripping through your eardrums with unbridled speed.

Following a couple of demo releases, their debut s/t 7" and full length come loaded with energetic fast parts and sing-a-long choruses combined with awesome metallic guitar riffs and breaks. Add in some sincerely bitter lyrics about friendship and betrayal, and that pretty much sums up what this band is all about.

No hidden messages or agendas here, just calling it like they see it. Catch them playing weekends all over the east coast!!
