Together with bands like Minor Threat, Black Flag or D.R.I., VERBAL ABUSE are the pioneers of fast hardcore or if you want call it thrash crossover on the North American continent!!!

All fans of this style need no reminder of their records and the fact that VERBAL ABUSE broke up several times only to come back again and the current strength of the band of these "hardcore geezers" is unbelievable. We can clearly hear it on their latest effort "Hope is Lack of Information" released just a few weeks ago!!! VERBAL ABUSE will light the hardcore fuse for the first time at OEF and we have no doubt that the this show will be as intense as a rocket launch in their hometown of Houston!!!
