The Force, will be reuniting for the first time in 10 years. The NorCal hardcore/punk band featured singer Matt Wedgley (Viva Hate), bassist Hunter Burgan (AFI), guitarist Mark Roustabout (The Roustabouts) and drummer Chad Cox went their separate ways after the band's final show in 1998.
Formed in May of 1995, the band recorded and toured for three years. The Force released several recordings, including a 7", a 10" and a split 7" as well as a number of songs on compilations. This reunion will coincide with the release of a complete discography, containing every song The Force ever recorded. A limited edition, 21-song double-LP will be sold at the shows as well as online while supplies last.
The Force will only be playing three shows, the first of which will be in their hometown of Grass Valley, CA (a small town in the Sierra Nevada foothills, between Sacramento and Reno) followed by a Bay Area concert and finally a Southern California stop.
