This anthology covers the period between 1981 and 1985 when the Offenders were most active. Texas was always a source of great hardcore, but the state was taken to a new level when the Offenders took the stage, presenting their music to vast audiences all across the globe. Sadly, Michael Donaldson, a/k/a Mikey Offender, departed this world on September 27, 2007, but the ever so talented bass player left behind a punk rock legacy that until now could only be shared with the rest of the players of the Offenders.
