Description

SOA was Henry Rollins' band in Washington D.C. before he joined LA's Black Flag. 

Trivia: S.O.A. drummer Ivor Hanson's father was a top admiral in the US Navy, and his family shared living quarters with the vice president of the United States in the United States Naval Observatory. The band held their practices there, and would have to be let in by Secret Service agents.  Rollins worked at the Georgetown Häagen-Dazs ice cream store and used the money he earned as assistant manager to help finance the S.O.A. EP.
