PLANET ON A CHAIN or P.O.A.C. are hardcore lifers. People who never stopped feeling the angst and rage associated with hardcore, who never stopped trying to push themselves musically, who never stopped paying attention to the current sounds and styles, who don't make music based on past glory, who still contribute to today's hardcore culture without asserting that things were better in their day. The four members of P.O.A.C. are familiar faces. Vocalist Dave Ackerman fronting early '00s TEAR IT UP, a sparkplug of a band from New Jersey whose shows were always one click away from devolving into complete anarchy, and the other three from Oakland, CA's LOOK BACK AND LAUGH, arguably the best live band of their generation, a whirlwind of screaming guitars, drum rolls, long hair, and dreadlocks, all on one stage. In their short history, P.O.A.C. recorded demos in their practice space, which were released on respected independent labels Blind Rage Records and a second on 625 Records/To Live A Lie Records. Revelation Records is set to release the band's debut LP in early 2023, a heavy dose of fast, biting, hardcore punk that pulls influences from the members' previous projects and created a final product that lands the band perfectly in line with other recent Revelation Records Bay Area fam TORSO and URBAN SPRAWL. Boxed In Is the band's first full-length and is a scorching hardcore blast delivered the way the founders of the genre intended: fast, raw, angry, and decidedly punk.
