In 2009 the album Strength, Integrity, Brotherhood followed via Back Ta Basics Records.

style

On Strength Through Unity , the band played classic New York hardcore punk, with the guitar riffs alternating between slow and fast passages and the use of double bass being characteristic. On Best of Friends / Enemies the band played classic hardcore punk, which, however, was extremely poorly produced even for the genre conditions. In addition to the typical hardcore punk elements, numerous metal influences were also audible on Fallen Angel . This trend of drawing in influences from Metal was to continue on the album Strength, Integrity, Brotherhood .
