LIFE FORCE (USA) - Hope And Defiance (new LP copy; not sealed) (2020) Released by New Age Records on Purple w/White Splatter vinyl - limited to 325 copies. 
With its members spread out between Texas and Oklahoma, Life Force is a new Straight Edge Hardcore band that was started by Matt Fletcher (Shai Hulud, Zombie Apocalypse) and Flint Beard with a clear focus. That mission was to form a group with the sound, aesthetic, and spirit of classic Youth Crew, albeit with darker musical hues found throughout their songwriting and a socio-political lyrical point of view they felt was largely missing in Modern Hardcore.  
Hope And Defiance is the band's debut full-length album released by New Age Records in 2020.  “LIFE FORCE is the perfect example of everything I look for in a band when considering who to add to the New Age Records family," says Mike Hartsfield, founder of the long-standing California-based label. "
Musically, lyrically, politically, and personally LIFE FORCE meets all the standards and then some.” This record has all the makings of a Hardcore classic.  --  New Age Records – NA086
