assfactor 4

assfactor 4 was a hardcore punk band from columbia , south carolina formed by two members of tonka -lrb- jay and alex -rrb- and two members of unherd -lrb- eric and kevin -rrb- .
they formed in the fall of 1992 and broke up in late 1997 .
assfactor 4 's sonic approach drew heavily from san diego 's early-1990s group heroin , but their song structure was notably more akin to 1980 's thrash and hardcore , placing assfactor 4 in a unique position within the diy hardcore scene of the era .
their contemporaries in the southeast u.s. included columbia 's in/humanity and premonition , raleigh , nc 's rights reserved ; and richmond , va 's action patrol .
heartattackzine readers voted assfactor 4 `` coolest band to hang out with '' in 1995 .
assorted porkchops has planned on releasing a discography in the near future .
