Desist · Tune In
DESIST is a Sacramento, California powerviolence and hardcore band formed by veterans of the local scene, with members from acts including Mescaline Maniacs, Bolo, Malandro, and S.U.R.G.E. The lineup is Morgan (vocals), Juan (guitar), Isaias (bass), and Bon (drums). They debuted with the self-titled "2024 Demo" (July 6, 2024), recorded by Matt O'Neill at RawDog Studios in Sacramento — eight songs in roughly six minutes of fast, abrasive hardcore that accelerates into powerviolence blasts. It was issued on cassette as a 625 Thrashcore / ThrashTapes co-release. Their tagline: "Desist from all the bullshit, nine one six forever."
