D.F.L.

In the artist's words:

In 1995, punk rock was booming on MTV, NOFX was playing on the bus on school trips and bands were springing up like mushrooms. Some good, a lot of mediocre. The water in the pool of the Epitaph/Fat Wreck wave seemed to be slowly tipping over due to a lack of freshness. Then DFL (DEAD FUCKING LAST) appeared on Epitaph: Lo-fi, fast as fuck, simple, raw. For some, this was a gateway to Boston/DC hardcore and BEASTIE BOYS. DFL had already released a 7" on their label Grand Royal Records - Ad-Rock was also a founding member, Mike D was the drummer for a short time, but both were no longer on the album. Nevertheless, it was enough to create a legend. In addition to a few singles, another album, "Grateful", was released on Epitaph in 1997 and "Proud To Be" was re-released in 2015 to mark the twentieth anniversary. Nothing in between. Then came the announcement in 2021: DFL were releasing a new 12" entitled "YRUDFL" and were planning their first ever European tour. What could you expect? A lot!
