From KFTH....
Although from Chicago, AOF was not embraced by the original punk scene there. They had a bitter, public rivalry with the Effigies, whom they saw as suburban posers-skinheads with a closet right wing agenda (and who accused them as miming the DC hardcore sound). They did have allies, however, in like-minded Midwest bands like the Zero Boys, Die Kreuzen, and Hüsker Dü . Turned off by the age restrictions of the bar and club scene, AOF began booking DIY shows in the auditorium of the Chicago Centro-American Social Club. These shows gave life to an eclectic new underground punk scene and lasted until the band broke up in 1985. Vic Bondi also had a stint as a columnist in Maximumrocknroll.

Hey Articles Of Faith, I just took this quiz, What Family Guy Character Are You?. Check out my result on my profile, then go take the quiz and then see what you get!
From early to mid eighties Gepopel were doing noise for you amigo,much noise and very well done!.Now Noise and distortion records is going to release all their stuff so check it out. Anyway they will not include the first demo "No one can stop advance" that I consider also very great. In a different way the songs of the first demo were less hardcore and more lo-fi punk, similir to urinals, some chain gang...conga conga!! here you have the link to download it
Thank you so much - this means a lot to me. Bands like you, Die Kreuzen, and Hüsker Dü meant so much to me during my formative years. Now I've moved on into other weird worlds (industrial, experimental, etc. but still love to play fast and loud guitars more than anything. You guys were the best and I thank you.
