Majority Rule is a 3-piece grinding political hardcore punk band from Virginia. The trio (Kevin, Matt, Pat) released three albums on Magic Bullet Records: Interviews With David Frost (2001), Document #12 Split with Pg. 99 (2002), and Emergency Numbers (2003). These violent musketeers also released two splits on Submit Records: Partners in Profit Split with Positive State (1997) and a split 7" with Turbine (1998).
After many hundreds of shows around the world and three studio recordings that changed how people listen to and approach hardcore since, the band laid it to rest in the summer months of 2004.
Thirteen years later, conditions locally, nationally, and globally have exposed a fertile patch toward the resurrection of MAJORITY RULE, if for nothing else but to return to many of the stages and spaces they’ve performed in prior, and under the same exact ethics they held then and now, to raise awareness, funding, and goodwill toward individualized, local causes in each and every town they are set to perform in.
Matt plays in Highway Cross now.
