Channel 3 emerged from the Southern California hardcore punk
explosion of the early 1980s. Fear of Life, their freshman debut,
became instantly popular within the scene after its release in
1982 on Posh Boy Records. Energetic in its approach to themes
of political and personal unrest and dissatisfaction, Fear of Life
explores a darker, albeit less ironic and more straight-forward side
of idealism than some of its contemporaries, and unleashes this
angst over an earnest, hard-driving delivery, creating the terrific
synergy of Mike Magrann and Kimm Gardener. One of the more
important musical statements of 1982, Drastic is pleased to reissue
this hardcore classic.
