Foundation was a hardcore punk band hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, known for their visceral and unapologetic brand of music. Formed in the mid-2000s, the group became a staple in the hardcore scene with their intense live shows and a fierce commitment to the ethics of the genre. Their music was characterized by a potent mix of aggressive guitar riffs, pounding drums, and raw, emotionally-charged vocals.

During their active years, Foundation carved out a distinct niche for themselves with a series of powerful releases that resonated with fans. "Turncoat" and "When The Smoke Clears," both present impactful narratives set against a backdrop of relentless sonic energy, exemplifying the band's ability to channel social and personal unrest into their art. "At Your Mercy" continued this trend, offering a no-holds-barred exploration of betrayal and hardship, while "Hang Your Head" served as a gut-punching declaration of the band's hardcore ethos. Foundation's influence remains tangible in the hardcore scene even after their disbandment, with their music consistently cited as a catalyst for a new wave of hardcore punk bands.
