[edit] Agression

Agression was a Nardcore punk band from Oxnard, California (Ventura County), and considered one of the founding bands of the "Nardcore" scene.

Agression was very well known for their fast-paced, aggressive songs like "Slammin' at the Club", "Money Machine", "Intense Energy" and "Locals Only."

The original band members were:

Mark Hickey - vocalist
Henry Knowles - guitarist
"Big" Bob Clark - bassist
Bruce - drummer

Agression has disbanded after the deaths of two of its original members, Mark Hickey (2000) and Henry Knowles (2002). In the summer of 2002, a "Henry Knowles Memorial Show" at "Skatelab", in Simi Valley, CA, featuring the "Nardcore All-Stars"(who did an all Agression song set list), Rejected Society, The Missing 23rd, Dr. Know & Ill Repute, among others took place.

Grind Kings Suck Shit: Crappy album put out by a one time member of Agression. Unfortunatly, Mark Hickey and Henry Knowles have passed away; however, their spirits live on through Agression. This album contains old songs as well as new. This album is not the same as the good old Agression, not even close, but then again, you can not match Agression, even though that poser bitch Mark Aber thinks he IS Agression. Big Bob should slap him in the nutsack.
