Thomas and Rob recently sat down w/ punknews.org for a lengthy video interview about everything Inquisition. View part 1 of the interview below:
- 1 part Strike Anywhere
- 1 part Ann Beretta
- 1 part River City High
- A dash of revolution
- Mix at high intensity
"A band like Inquisition made a dent in the underground punk community in their heyday, when they should have been a full blown car crash."
- Tim Barry (Avail)
"Very few things will leave as lasting an impression on me as the first chord of the first song I heard by them"
- Jason Black (Hot Water Music)
"Inquisition had it all, the energy, the desperation, political lyrics. It was all there and it got me so psyched"
- Tim (Ensign)
Only a band of arresting importance could be regarded as the foundation of
such mighty conquests as Strike Anywhere, Ann Beretta, and River City High. But Inquisition, a band that remains highly influential in spite of their
brief mid-90’s lifespan, is that important. According to Strike
Anywhere’s Thomas Barnett (ex-Inquisition), the resonance of Inquisition
remains a dear relative to the music he and his band mates are creating
today. (In fact, Thomas' current band, Strike Anywhere, is named from a song by Inquisition.) And notably, all kinds of bands, from an
assortment of scenes, have sighted Inquisition as a necessary inspiration
for their songwriting: Ensign, Anti-Flag, Dashboard Confessional—among
many others.
This October 25th, A-F Records will reissue the former Richmond-based
band’s highly missed—and hard-to-find—"Revolution, I Think It’s Called
Inspiration".
Everyone below. They broke up in the 90s and they just had a reunion show here in Richmond last year. THEY AREN'T TOGETHER ANYMORE, and they aren't touring!
if you guys ever do any more reunion shows you have to come through houston again. i remeber seeing you guys at the apv room with propagandi and 30 foot fall back in 1995 or 1996 . damn i am getting old !!! cheers, kevin d...
It's getting hard to wait for this dvd/cd! i cant wait! you guys are one the most inspirational bands for me. thanks for the amazing music you've written! PEACE -bowen
Thanks for the add guys. You rock. I ordered the new AF 07-08 demo tracks and yuour song uproar and fuse are fucking amazing. You guys need to head up my way to Eugene, OR so I can see ya play live. That would be fucking killer..
you guys getting back together to do two reunion shows was sweet enough but now we get re-releases of most of your old material and a live cd/dvd plus an ep on top of that, it keeps getting better and better
i got one of the decks at warped tour in milwaukee. i have yet to get to a skateshop to set it up but pretty soon ill be representin inquisition in pipes and bowls all over.
still waiting for strike to come back to milwaukee (or inquisition to come here for that matter)
the live songs sound sick guys. fuck, i would have killed to get to that show. not really. still, i'm hoping for at least an east coast reunion tour haha.
