Battery is a straight edge hardcore band that emerged from Washington, D.C.’s vibrant punk scene in the early 1990s. Formed by members of Damnation A.D. and Worlds Collide, the band quickly gained a reputation for their high-energy shows, uncompromising positivity, and strong sense of community. Fronted by vocalist Brian McTernan, who would later become an influential producer, Battery combined the raw aggression of youth crew hardcore with heartfelt, introspective lyrics, resonating with fans around the world.
The band’s discography includes standout records like Only The Diehard Remain and Whatever It Takes, and their sound has influenced countless bands within the hardcore scene. Though they broke up in the late '90s, Battery reunited for select shows and released new material, including the 2017 EP For the Rejected by the Rejected, further cementing their legacy as hardcore torchbearers.
