History
Vocalist Greg first formed the group in September 2001, with the intention of having fun with some friends and playing hardcore music with heart and a message.
After signing with Common Bond Records, Against recorded and released their second EP, entitled My Hate My Choice, which has now sold over 2000 copies to date. The band has toured Australia with acts such as Mindsnare and Champion, as well as AFI, Terror, Madball, Cro-Mags, Boysetsfire and Silence The Epilogue, which has allowed them to "road-test" their sound.
With Against's first album entitled Left For Dead, released on Melbourne-based Trial & Error Records in November 2006, the band have taken their sound to the next level. Against's second studio release, Loyalty and Betrayal, was released on 20 August 2007.
