    When it comes to hardcore and all the different styles there are, my favorite would probably be the old school youth crew style. Fast, aggressive and positive is the way to go. Stand and Fight plays that style. They would have fit in perfectly back in 1988 with bands like Youth Of Today, Bold, Judge, Side By Side and Chain of Strength and their fans would have all welcomed them into the scene with open arms. Stand And Fight is from California but they are totally East Coast sounding. They have released two ep's and this is their first full length. Together We Win is filled with positivity, sing alongs and great mosh parts.

    This is a must have for those hardcore junkies that like nothing but positive straight edge hardcore. It's all old school and just a good album. I love it. It's nice to hear a band that isn't metal or trying to do American Nightmare all over again. I like it a lot.
