Between seasons we take a look at an EP from San Diego hardcore punk band STRUGGLE, formerly known as PROLETARIAN STRUGGLE. The themes on this self titled EP from 1994 lead us to believe they have opinions about current events.

Side Two of this album is the EP we are reviewing today if you want to check it out here. https://struggle31g.bandcamp.com/album/one-settler-one-bullet

At the turn of a decade, 1990, aligned a group of angry, disenfranchised teenagers from San Diego who connected in that they all had something similar to say about the city around them– one afflicted with racism, consumerism, abuse, animal cruelty, sexism etc. (much like any other). The message, in essence, was to say “fuck all of these things”, and the result was some of the members’ first “official” forays with fast-paced, aggressive music in a hardcore band. Struggle (Initially called Proletariat Struggle, but later shortened due to the fact that it was a bit of a stretch to say that the members were all “working class” at that point in their young lives, or that the main focus was merely classism) would turn out to be the seed for what would later splinter off into various but equally important and beloved artistic avenues for the six members.
