Final Conflict is a hardcore punk band from Long Beach, California formed in 1983. They have gone through various lineup changes since then with the only constant member being their original guitar player, Jeff Harp. Currently the band's lineup includes Shane McLachlan and Calum Mackenzie of the grindcore band Phobia. Calum has also been a member in Oi Polloi, A.P.P.L.E., and Kraut.
Final Conflict is regarded as one of the first extreme hardcore punk bands from the Los Angeles/Orange County area. They incorporated a British-style hardcore punk rock at a time when the punk rock scene was at its weakest popularity. Their perseverance and dedicated fan base helped spark a Los Angeles and Orange County punk rock revival of sorts during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Famous quotes containing the words final and/or conflict:
“The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.... The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“There is no prescribed method for resolving every specific conflict a mother has with her child, and there is certainly no method that will enable her to have exactly what she wants....There is, however, a larger goal, which is to establish and over-all climate of reasonableness, one in which she and her child can hear each other.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
