Originally starting off with the equally terrible and awesome name Reagan's Still Dead, Pointblank was built from remnants of The Jury after they split with members of Anal Warhead to bring some serious Cleveland by way of Albany style hardcore that sounds a lot like Cheap Tragedies or Gordon Solie Motherfuckers. If I remember correctly, their first gig they weren't even playing their own songs but a cover set of Black Flag tunes along with a band made up of me, members of Plastic Jesus, and Aggressive Response for the punkest book tour ever that stopped through Valentine's to promote Barred For Life. Maybe a few more shows passed before they changed their name, leading to a nigh incalculable amount of no-not-THAT-Pointblanks muttered from members and friends of the band alike. I'm not sure if the band ever really broke up or if they just kinda, well, stopped. I remember the singer Joe (former guitarist of The Jury) saying he took more lyrical inspiration from Richard Stark novels, known for his hard boiled detective stories, than anything else. This rules though, download it.
