Slant 6 was an all-female trio that emerged from the Washington DC music scene in the summer of 1992. In 1993, they released a three-song single for Dischord Records and spent much of that year touring across the U.S. Their debut album, Soda Pop Rip Off, was recorded in Washington DC and produced by Don Zientara, a long-time Dischord collaborator, along with Fugazi's guitarist Ian MacKaye. The band's connection to the West Coast scene ran deeper than just touring—one of Slant 6's members lived on the Cell 63 property for a time, highlighting how the venue wasn’t just a space for shows but a thriving community hub where musicians and artists came together, shared ideas, and supported each other beyond the stage.

Strife remains a highly active force in the music scene, continuing to tour and perform at numerous music festivals. Known for their relentless energy and dedication to hardcore punk, the band regularly connects with fans old and new through live performances. Their second album, In This Defiance, released in 1997, marked a major milestone in their career, featuring guest appearances from Chino Moreno of Deftones, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory, and Igor Cavalera of Sepultura. As a band that has never slowed down, Strife has built a reputation for their high-impact shows, maintaining a strong presence in the hardcore scene as they continue to tour the United States and perform at iconic punk festivals.
