With their debut full-length album Sydney's premier hardcore terrorists Taking Sides drive yet another nail into the coffin of commercial pop-punk pretension. Dress Code is 11 tracks of blistering old school attitude with a defined melodic edge. Drawing inspiration from both the pioneers of punk and the brutality of hardcore, Taking Sides have created a sound that is uniquely their own.

Formed in late 2002, and featuring ex- members of Toe to Toe, Deadstare and Restraint.

Taking Sides have shared the stage with international acts like Sick Of It All, Madball, Comeback Kid, Ignite, Alexisonfire and Good Riddance, not to mention the cream of the local crop including Mindsnare, Day Of Contempt and I Killed The Prom Queen.

A ferocious shot to the jaw from one the quickest rising forces in Australian punk/hardcore. Don't sleep.
