I know there's the collection Ray Stevens II released but it's missing some great songs. Luckily I still have all their stuff(I sure wish it was in better shape though). I'll say it again, please rerelease everything.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420970366731891772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-73452575361169028532010-04-24T12:12:09.672-04:002010-04-24T12:12:09.672-04:00Wow, haven't thought about the Faction since 7...Wow, haven't thought about the Faction since 7th grade. It was skate rock like this that led me into hardcore, starting with the first Suicidal album. So good!

Always thought The Faction captured the true essence of California and all that goes along with getting radical, whether it's surfing, skating, or slamming. No way in hell could that band come out of NYC.Ben Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322170640778424533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-45819205163440445902010-04-20T01:21:12.026-04:002010-04-20T01:21:12.026-04:00Can never get enough Faction! - They were supposed...Can never get enough Faction! - They were supposed to come to Cleveland around that time but the club...The Underground...closed down and they weren't scheduled anywhere else - I didn't get to see them until just a few years ago...it was a good show too - I remember the big deal being that the band could never really tour because Steve was always dealing with either contests or Powell-Peralta stuff - Love the 1st Lp but the "Dark Room" Lp is my favorite and the first thing I had by them - Just a few years ago I was finally able to get "No Hidden Messages" Lp - If you are looking to get the full discography on CD you need to buy the Faction released disc and Adam Bomb Segal's release of Faction stuff...the 2 or 3 songs that complete the disco are on his diskAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-67939606772768716882010-04-20T00:58:35.745-04:002010-04-20T00:58:35.745-04:00Sick!

I remember it seemed like there was a controversy as if they were sort of a gimmick because they had pro skaters in the band and automatically were cool in Thrasher and stuff, but seriously, they had some of the best thrashy and catchy tunes!Jasonnoreply@blogger.com
