Strike Anywhere is a melodic hardcore band from Richmond,
Virginia. They formed in 1999 after the demise of frontman Thomas Barnett's
previous band, Inquisition. Their music is characterized by fast tempos, catchy
melodies, and socially conscious lyrics. They have released 4 full-length
albums and are currently signed to Bridge Nine Records.
Strike Anywhere is a political band, with lyrics touching on
such issues as police brutality, anarchism, anti-capitalism, women's rights,
animal rights, and globalization. They have also contributed tracks to
political benefit albums, such as a live version of "Sunset on 32nd"
for 1157 Wheeler Avenue: A Memorial for Amadou Diallo and "To the
World" for the Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1 album. According to the liner
notes for their album Change is a Sound, they support "the vegetarian
lifestyle, the living wage movement, and the fight against corporate
globalisation".
I am going with Refusal from their 2001 debut album Change is a Sound which was released through Jade Tree Records. Refusal was also featured on the soundtrack to the skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Underground which may be where you have heard it before if you think it sounds familiar.
