    A18 is from Southern California and features ex-members of Outspoken, Insted and Chorus of Disapproval. They are currently signed with Victory records.

    A18 doesn't have their own distinct sound, instead borrowing from Hatebreed and the like with maybe even Sepultura influencing them. This angry New York style has been done before and done by better. The songs, while being full of intensity, lack a distinctive edge that might draw interest. If you like this style or sound, there are better bands you could be listening to. The artwork consists of pictures of various suicide methods, I guess this isn't one for the kids.
