STRIKING DISTANCE was a hardcore punk band from 1999-2003, hailing from Washington DC with a decidedly NYHC/ Boston sound. The band, led by one of the angriest frontmen in Bridge Nine history, Dave Byrd, originally released The Fuse Is Lit on CD and 7" via B9 back in May of '02. Since then, STRIKING DISTANCE broke up, reunited in 2007 for Youngblood Fest, and have remained dormant ever since. Fast forward to 2013, and Bridge Nine is re-releasing this very important hardcore album and STRIKING DISTANCE are gearing up for their reunion at this year's United Blood Fest in Richmond, VA. |
