forgetters: as we are, so shall we be. In the spirit of national historical amnesia, the scrappy, enormous Brooklyn
band continues its mission to master its immediate moment
through the occlusion / collapse of events prior and subsequent. Originally touted as a “9/11 denier hoax,” the group
went on to surprise even itself by losing its mind on its
tragic-glorious 2011 European tour.
Surviving members Kevin Mahon (Against Me!) and
Blake Schwarzenbach (Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil) went
to Baltimore, Maryland, in late 2011 / early 2012 to record
this eponymous full-length with J. Robbins. The result is
pure Caesar—a quasi-fascist Republic with power streaming from every administrative angle.
The small nation-state plans to tour following the release of its album, in what it has called “Dubai or Death.”
Mortal Kombat fans take note, all others be seated.
