AC4 might be the reunion that everybody has been waiting for. The reuniting of forces between Old School scenesters. In 1989 the Umeå Hardcore scene got kick started by STEP FORWARD and in 1991 REFUSED took Umeå Hardcore to the rest of the world. STEP FORWARD was started by Dennis and Jens, Karl and David were huge fans. When STEP FORWARD broke up Dennis and David started the by now legendary REFUSED and Karl and Jens started the infamous THE VECTORS. AC4 debut is 15 songs of intense power. Fast furious Hardcore in the vein of MINOR THREAT, BAD BRAINS, BLACK FLAG, NEGATIVE APPROACH, JERRY'S KIDS, 7 SECONDS etc etc. The hardest challenge for the guys was not the regenerate the energy of being young but to write lyrics that fits with being 35+ and still being a punk. Check out the self reflection and struggles of growing old in a youth oriented scene in songs like Assassinate, Where are the Kids and I can do it.
