OFF! 'OFF!'
Raw, relentless, and lightning fast, OFF!’s self-titled debut is a scorched-earth return to hardcore punk’s roots. Released in 2010, the album rips through sixteen tracks in just over fifteen minutes, each one a punch of fury, political frustration, and no-bullshit attitude. Spearheaded by Keith Morris (Black Flag, Circle Jerks) and guitarist Dimitri Coats, this is a record that ignores polish in favor of pure impact—recorded live to tape with zero overdubs and maximum urgency.
'OFF!' channels the speed, brevity, and spirit of early 80s hardcore, but with a clarity of purpose and fire that feels wholly present. The guitars slash, the drums pound, and Morris delivers every line with the urgency of someone shouting over collapse. From its minimalist Raymond Pettibon artwork to its explosive content, this debut stands as both a homage and a renewal of hardcore’s original spark—distilled, direct, and impossible to ignore.
