For years 46 Short has been hammering out their faithful, straight ahead style of classic hardcore punk in the vein of Circle Jerks, Black Flag and early Poison Idea. All four member are punk scene veterans who have devoted years of their lives playing in bands, running record stores, booking tours and promoting local shows. 46 Short's dedication to hardcore is obvious in every bashed-out drum beat, screamed lyric and brutal guitar chord on this new thirteen-track CD. With a circle-pit inducing sound straight out of '82 and politically/socially conscience lyrics with their sights set on today's issues, Truth Denied is destined to be a modern hardcore/punk classic.
