MY REVENGE formed in the spring of 2001 in Burlington, Vermont. Front man Spencer Crispe started the band with intentions of creating a hardcore punk band that played fast, raw, hardcore punk but at the same time celebrated the greatness of skateboarding. This third full length represents a musical and lyrical epiphany for the band - each member sharing in the song writing process. Unlike many bands, which have one or two songwriters, this album represents the creative ability and input of all four members. Some members wrote entire songs, but nonetheless all four of the band mates contributed-- giving the record a sound and texture that is varied, eclectic and anything but dull. This record will keep your attention from start to finish as it races through elements of punk, hardcore and thrash metal. It's all the speed, intensity and urgency of their other records magnified to a new extreme. Lyrically the album is an optimistic one. The lyrics have a positive overtone throughout and a constructive political message without being preachy or self-righteous. The album title Strength Through Nonviolence reflects a common theme throughout, regarding introspection and evaluating some of the elements in our society to work together toward a more caring and enlightened world. 1. Strength Through Nonviolence 2. Sing Now While You Have A Song 3. Love Resolves 4. Drop Some Of Your Needs 5. "How Many Heart Attacks Does That Make Todd?" "About A Baker's Dozen Bob." 6. Gay Marriage Is Better Than Your Marriage 7. More Talk, More Rock, Less Interrupting 8. You're The Reason Johnny Cash Is Dead 9. Disappointed If You Fail, Doomed If You Never Try 10. If I Ever Wear Sandals, Shoot My Feet Off
