As described by Maximumrocknroll, Meanstreet and the OC Weekly, EXFORK was one of the most underrated bands in its genre. Mixing punk, noise and metal, these Southern California natives created a pummeling sound that numbed the senses.

On this long-awaited 10" (originally to be released by Coolguy Records), EXFORK teamed up with punk/metal producer Billy Anderson (producer to the likes of Neurosis, Melvins, Jawbreaker, Logical Nonsense, Mr. Bungle, Ratos De Porao, Sick of It All and Unsane, to name a select few) to record the band's finest session. This record is a tribute to the California underground and a must for anyone who is a fan of this type of sound.

As one reviewer put it, "their music is fast, tight, screamy, and intricate, yet not pretending to be Slayer like every other hardcore band and their mothers." Now THAT'S a compliment.

With their raw style of noise-core, EXFORK became a prominent force in the Los Angeles and San Francisco underground at the turn of the century.

Broke up a few years ago, but who's counting?
