Ben B, aka Vang Ghazi, former bassist of Rise Defy, and a member of the RD family, suffered a massive stroke in early February 2024. It'll be a long road to recovery, but he's got that PMA! Shellshocked, the A-side track of our sold out, lathe-cut, Live at the Pie Shop 7", released on the amazing DCXPC Live label, is about childhood trauma survivors coming together and finding their tribe in the hardcore punk rock community. More generally, though, it's about our tribe supporting each other through any kind of rough times, and this is one of those times. So when Scott P of DCXPC Live approached us about re-releasing a small run of the record to have the proceeds benefit Ben, we were immediately into it. Pauly P, our drummer and visual artist, even put together new cover art for this very special run. Please support! "Shellshocked come rock with me!" - Davis
