    Ensign records their take on classic punk and hardcore that has influenced them. They do this not only to pay homage, but also as a means of exposing those newcomers to the scene that want to learn about the roots. Who might this be? They cover: Bad Brains, Bad Religion, Descendents, Misfits, Dag Nasty, Discharge, Sick of It All, Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Dwarves, Inside Out, Verbal Assault and more. For a quick recording and a project put together under rushed circumstances, this is a lot of fun and sounds good.
