Government Warning was an influential hardcore punk band that emerged in the mid-2000s from Richmond, Virginia. The band was known for their fast-paced, aggressive sound that channeled the energy of early hardcore acts from the 1980s. With lyrics often filled with socio-political commentary and a raw, unfiltered approach to music, Government Warning quickly made a name for themselves within the punk community. The band's lineup, while not extensively publicized, was comprised of members deeply entrenched in the DIY ethics and underground punk circuit.

Their discography showcased a relentless drive and ability to capture the frenetic spirit of punk. Notable releases such as "No Way Out" kicked off their career with a bang, offering a barrage of brief but blistering tracks. Their follow-up, "No Moderation," continued this trend, layering a sense of urgency and discontent with the status quo. Other releases such as "Arrested" and "Paranoid Mess" further cemented Government Warning's standing, featuring anthems filled with abrasive riffs and shout-along choruses. Their last known offering, "Executed," seemed to be the capstone for their explosive, albeit brief, incursion into the punk rock landscape, leaving a lasting impact on the genre and those who followed in their wake. Despite their disbandment, Government Warning remains a touchstone for fans of hardcore punk, symbolizing a period of high-intensity music and a no-holds-barred attitude towards expression.
