U.O.F. 02:16
Taking bullets there to shake down a rat Feel the warmth as your body goes limp You’ll live in fear if you prey on the weak You won’t be able to touch them again Pigs like you don’t deserve to live Shit end of the whole human race Ruining lives and looking more Well do much worse We'll bring an end to this shit Use of Force

Keep your fucking ignorance the fuck away from me Knuckle headed idiots are all I fucking need Keep your fucking ignorance the fuck away from me Parasites in politics and all clan police What the fuck? Do You think were gonna look the other way? No chance No going back Don’t look away
3.
Crutch 01:46
Christ like You think you’re fucking right Wake up in shame worried and weak Desperate You think you’re fucking right Follow along get back in line Doomsday cultists some stay weak Don’t wanna think for yourself A hint of danger a frightened sheep Don’t want to end up like you Blind faith Christ like You think you’re fucking right No one is safe after they die Take your life back Look around

Ignorant bastard run in circles every week Dead set on wasting years to obvious deceit Can’t move past can’t make the voices fucking leave All your choices End in defeat Pressure trip It doesn’t fucking end Watch your life go by In the blink of an eye Don’t want to fuck off and waste my time I don’t want to earn those pigs another fucking dime I’d rather take a chance than never move ahead Pressure trip It doesn’t fucking end Watch your life go by In the blink of an eye Don’t live your life like a joke Fight or flight Those that run on are the first to fucking die In the blink of an eye

Choice 02:11
Days gone to waste Sinking from the constant self-defeat You’ll be sorry my friend I see your grave your family You fell back instead of kept on going The promise you showed You’ll be sorry my friend I see your choice your funeral You fiend my friend I see more choice than this Watched you grow up And burn down to nothing in some ways It still feels the same my chest still hurts on slow paced days And the last fucking thing I need In the fuckin way My head hurts The things you did Destroyed surroundings Fresh dug grave and Your pain is theirs Because it got too hard to live
6.
Raw Deal 02:11
Who're you supposed to be I can see through your disguise You’re not hard to tell apart Who're supposed to be Weakness spelled out in your eyes And cowardice in your heart Make a mistake you fucking rat I walk with a head full of hate Life never gave me shit But the hardest choices to fuckin make Dead end thoughts You missed me And don’t you wonder why No master in your mind
7.
Try your best not to lose your patience They all fester with hate They got stuck doing ego maintenance Envy is all they can taste Find a better way Then bitterness and rage They threw it all away The hell do you want from me They try their best to stay afloat We both fuckin know they wont Their time is all they can waste It’s your choice to make Try your best not to get complacent They get off on the wait Find a better way Then bitterness and rage They threw it all away The hell do you want from me Relevance on borrowed time Too ignorant to change their minds Don’t expect the same from us It’s your choice to make Make them fucking pay Violence won’t cost me Don’t need your problems Proceed with caution With caution

about

While hardcore punk may have initially taken shape on the coasts, its Midwestern permutation distilled the form into one of sincere desperation. Without a strong, existing counterculture to participate in, Midwest hardcore developed a unique outsider perspective, replete with a sneering nihilism, ferocity, and DIY spirit all its own. Forty years after its inception, Fort Wayne, Indiana’s Use of Force are here to stake their claim as rightful torchbearers of that spirit.

Formed in 2020 by James Gilchriest, Dexter Shelburne, Justin Loubert, and Willy Brown, Use of Force play an eclectic style of hardcore that incorporates a distinctly modern heaviness while still paying homage to the genre’s punk DNA. Chunky, pummeling breakdowns punctuate barre chord-infused Boston-style mid-tempo ragers on their 2021 self-titled debut EP. Put simply, this is music tailor-made to fill and promptly obliterate an unassuming basement. Self-recorded by the band in a garage and mixed/mastered by Indiana expat Trae Roberts, their debut exemplifies the DIY ethic that has kept hardcore vibrant, vital, and alive over the last four decades. With another 5 song EP on the way, Use of Force are poised to serve notice that things are not so quiet on the Midwestern front.
