Government Issue: The Punk Remains The Same (7-Inch Single)

Usually ships in 3-6 business days

Government Issue (often just GI) was an American Hardcore Punk band and one of the longest-running bands in the DC Hardcore scene. Formed in 1980, GI quickly built a loyal following and released their first EP titled Legless Bull through Dischord Records. Many early songs were straightforward hardcore, clocking in at under the one minute mark, but they later progressed into a more melodic song-focused outfit (citing the Damned as key to gaining this catchy sound) and often with lyrics critical of the short-sighted behavior of the scene they aided in creating.
