As the local scenes traditionalists have watched the steady retirement of Australia's leading "old school" revival bands in "Last Nerve", "Jaws", and "Jungle Fever", the hunger for more of the same is struggling to be suppressed. After releasing their demo under the title of "Ill" on Viperdeathlock records (who successfully provided the launch pad for one of their much respected contemporaries "Jungle Fever") the band who all now currently reside on the New South Wales South Coast has been recently resurrected joining Common Bond Records and taking on a minor line up switch and title change to that of "Ill Brigade". Picking up from where their predecessors left off "Ill Brigade" continue to fly the flag for all the late 80's hardcore enthusiasts. Teaming up with Bill Stevenson (Black Flag and Descendents fame) for mastering their debut ep simply titled "The E.P." delivers 8 songs of heavily influenced late 80's US hardcore with a modern European touch as we've seen from the likes of recently departed "Justice" and "Deadstop".
