H2O have been diligently toiling in the hardcore scene since 1995, paying homage to the genre's ethos of family, community, and mosh-worthy breakdowns. This fall, the band will step it up a notch with 'Don't Forget Your Roots,' a covers album...

Toby Morse is a hardcore punk lifer. Ever since his early days in the Washington, D.C. hardcore scene, as a roadie for bands like Sick of It All and most famously as frontman for H2O, the East Coast-bred singer has been a staple of the underground punk circuit since the late '80s...
