Description
The skate punk scene of the '80s and '90s owes a lot to San Jose--and to The Faction, in particular. Picking up their instruments only shortly after Black Flag and Bad Religion got started, the band, which featured legendary 408 shredder Steve Caballero (pictured), melded hardcore riffs with a skate-or-die attitude. All professional skaters, the Faction's goal was to make the perfect soundtrack for carving bowls and grinding ledges. In the process they left a major imprint on punk music the world over. This will be the group's first hometown show since 2014.
