BERGENFIELD FOUR

Bergenfield Four was a shortlived hardcore superground featuring Damian from Fucked Up, George from Alexisonfire, Chris from Keep It Up and Urban Blight, and Ian from Keep It Up and Attack In Black. The band sounds similar to contemporary Fucked Up in a way, playing jangly punk songs with Damian’s signature raspy vocals. The 7” was the sole release on Damian’s own label, Lowdown Records, in three different sleeves, the standard black and purple cover, the light blue mail order sleeve limited to 200 copies which are stamped and hand-numbered on the inside of the sleeve, and the black and white “Jay Scheller” cover a-la-Crass done out of a hand-numbered 100 copies.

Turned Out a Punk"Starter Pack" of Damian DIY goodies - comes with a special fold-out sleeve, the reverse of each one is unique.... unfortunately its art for patreons and this is a free-view site, but stick around and we'll do a full reveal on 15 August 2030.

In 2016 a couple of records with hand-decorated dust sleeves mysteriously appeared in Toronto stores...
