No Innocent Victim

The most malicious hardcore band ever to be born out of San Diego, CA; No Innocent Victim comes charging back into action with their latest release, "Tipping The Scales". For nearly the past decade, No Innocent Victim has been keeping true to their beliefs and crusading throughout North America spreading their positive message. "Tipping The Scales" is poised to be one of the hardest hitting, most in-your-face releases of the summer. No Innocent Victim is an unstoppable unification of traditional hardcore converged with the brutality of metal and new school hardcore. They bridge and reinforce the gap between bands such as Sick Of It All and Hatebreed.

NIV is now ready to release their fifth album overall and second for Victory, "Tipping The Scales". This album will undoubtedly catapult them onto a new plateau of hard music. No Innocent Victim will crush you into the ground with their heavy, torrential guitars and intense, shredding vocals. They smash your teeth in with their powerful surge of energy and double fisted rhythms, yet they do it all with a smile. Their trademarked power and severe approach to music has labeled them as one of the most talented and influential bands ever to come out of the California hardcore scene. One of NIV's clinching factors is the magnitude of the bands with whom they have shared a stage.

They have played with such acts as POD and Project 86, not to mention legends Agnostic Front and label mates Hatebreed. No Innocent Victim continues to gain new fans and solidify their already solid reputation by constantly performing in front of larger and larger audiences. They plan to tour the US this summer, including dates at several major festivals, such as Birmingham, AL's Furnace Fest, as well as the legendary Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, IL. No Innocent Victim has been a prominent name in hardcore for nearly a decade, but with their new release, "Tipping The Scales" and a grueling tour schedule in the near future, NIV is ready to take their inevitable leap to legendary status.
