about

Punk Anthems for the new world order...

This is a concept album about a fictional character, Rick Foster. Sick of how the country and government is run and repulsed by corrupt, money hungry politicians, that exploit and use the poor for their own gains, he rallies the downtrodden to overthrow the government. In the end, his new government is no better than the one he replaced...

Included is the album in it's entirety and the original songs without the story line and the prequel to the story, "Safe Haven" DEMO. While the songs were demo'd, the story was never recorded and the script was lost to time...
Also included are 2 bonus tracks, "The Garden" & "Beer".

There was a floppy disc that contained a DOS 'Text' game that was included with the original record, along with a Poster and pin (Freedom for All). All the covers were personally screen printed and each bloody flag was done by hand, making each one exclusive. The cover for this album is from the first record.
The original vinyl record pressing was 200. It was later released in 2006 for a limited CD run.
