"Henry Garfield formed State of Alert (S.O.A) in October of 1980 with guitarist Michael Hampton, bassist Wendel Blow, and drummer Simon Jacobsen. The band released 13 songs -- three on the
Flex Your Head
compilation record and ten on the
No Policy
EP, which was Dischord's second-ever release -- and performed a total of nine shows before calling it quits in July of 1981. This single collects the eight songs that S.O.A recorded with Groff in that first session. Two of the songs ('Disease' and 'Stepping Stone Party') were released on the Flex Your Head sampler and 'Gonna Have to Fight' was included on the
No Policy
EP. The rest are unreleased versions. Seven months after this recording session, Garfield left Washington, DC and his last name behind, relocating to Los Angeles to become Henry Rollins, lead singer of Black Flag. Hampton, Blow, and Jacobsen would go on to perform in groups like The Faith, Embrace and Iron Cross."
