"Trash Talk's 119 comes with a narrative that's as old as the dichotomy between the mainstream and the underground. The ferocious Sacramento hardcore band rose to national prominence on the strength of its last two records -- 2010's Eyes & Nines and 2011's Awake EP -- which shored up underground punk tradition with the straightforward evangelism of bare-knuckle Luddites. Trash Talk didn't push the hardcore envelope, and that was the point: their job was to keep the flame going by spitting gasoline into its dying embers." -- Pitchfork
