Background

Walk Together, Rock Together was originally released as an EP in 1985. In 1986, it was expanded into a full length by adding live songs to the albums B-Side. [6] The studio tracks were produced by Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye, [6] who also provided backing vocals, and mixed by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. [7]

Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "an essential chapter of early hardcore." [1] Maximum Rocknroll wrote that "all the pleasant harmonies and sing-alongs are present in full form, and the well thought-out lyrics that make this band what they are." [8] Trouser Press wrote that the album "demonstrates an early interest in slowing things down and tuning them up along positive Clash/Pistols lines." [9]
