FIRST OFFENSE

About Me

Up from the suffocating ruins of Akron, these five Rock and Roll machines will stop at nothing to spread the message of solidarity and kickassedness. Recently being featured in the October/Noveber Issue of AMP Magazine, and previously on a Loud Fast Rules sampler cd, and in Maximun Rock 'n' Roll, and Razorcake magazines. They've played with bands like The Unseen, Roger Merit and The Disasters, The Pietasters, Flatfoot 56, Murphys Law, Far From Finished, Iron Cross and many more. From the sing along chants to the ripping guitars and beating drums, to the out of control and crowd intoxicating shows with their extremely loud and loyal fans, First Offense has created and ever growing fan base all across the Midwest and beyond with no intention of stoping now. Getting ready to head back to the studio to start recording a follow up of "The Faith to Stand Your Ground", and then heading out on the road for a couple mini tours hitting up southern Ohio, Michigan, and New York.
