Rival Schools - United By Fate (green glitter coloured vinyl)

Rival Schools only made one album during their first run, which turned out to be plenty. United By Fate arrived in September 2001 on Island, produced by Luke Ebbin, and it brought together a who's who of New York hardcore: Walter Schreifels on guitar and vocals, Sam Siegler of Youth of Today on drums, Cache Tolman of CIV on bass and Ian Love of Burn on guitar. Instead of a nostalgia trip, they made something melodic and muscular, all big riffs and bigger hooks.
