Issues CLITERATI‘s Ami Lawless of the union, “If you walk away with just one message from this split, hopefully it’s that we are all in this together: queer, straight, POC, or white, things can and will change when we join forces and tear down the system of hate and oppression.”

CLITERATI – featuring former members of Poison Idea and Voetsek – plays Discharge/Doom-influenced queercore/d-beat/thrash crust. CLITERATI believes in equality through inclusion. The band’s current split with VIOLATION WOUND follows the recently issued three-track Nuked At Birth EP, available for free download at THIS LOCATION.
Featuring Autopsy and former Abscess mastermind Chris Reifert on guitars and vocals, alongside bassist Joe Orterry, and drummer Matt O’Connell, Oakland, California-based VIOLATION WOUND was forged in a beer and whiskey-soaked basement in June of 2013. Driven to manufacture 100% real punk rock, fueled only by aggression and punishing riffs, VIOLATION WOUND honors the raw, dirty and pissed off ways of the genre’s original innovators, while carving out a path to call their own. Fans of Toxic Narcotic, Zeke, and Fear pay heed.
“You can see the mosh pits opening up for both sides of this split. This is the kind of punk split I enjoy, in large part because the sides don’t mimic each other as much as they complement each other. There is a chaotic and maddening power here…” — Two Guys Metal Reviews
