"the struggle is not over - it assumes new forms" These words are a
vision which Trial relates to every day as a parallel of their own
history. Since forming in 1994 the band has worked desperately to
communicate their infusion of activism, emotion, anger and intensity
in a world where people are more comfortable remaining sedate.
Challenging that attitude, Trial has never given up, all the while
fueled by a relentless desire to play hardcore music which is charged
with political and personal fury.
I have the vinyl but I will being picking up a CD as well to help support. Sorry to hear about the labels bogus decision to not include lyrics on a hardcore bands CD. I mean the music is absolutely important, but the lyrics are tantamount to the music. Although I think that hardcore bands music has a more colloquial aspect and deserves to be experienced via auditory and live performance, I think that reading the lyrics to fully understand the meaning as a whole is just as important as enjoying something live and with your friends, especially with a band as important as Trial.
I've never felt anything like I did during your set at burning fight. I've found myself feeling completely alienated within my local hardcore and punk scenes and was quickly loosing the burning passion I had once felt for the genre's. I came to the show expecting to simply enjoy myself but I left with so much more. I left with 1100 brothers and sisters, and a renewed sense of vigor towards something that I had once loved with every bit of my heart and every ounce of my energy. Thank you all (The bands and the people who attended burning fight) for reminding me of what it was about hardcore that dragged me headfirst into it.
