Includes remixes from Dave Barbe the original album’s producer in 1995 This is the 30th Anniversary release. Ripe For The Trade Off was highly critically acclaimed and was in heavy rotation on college radio all around the US in 1995. Often compared to bands like The Clash, Fugazi and Husker Du, Insurgence Dc recorded this album with David Barbe of Bob Mould’s band Sugar in Athens, Ga in 1993-94. Ripe For The Trade Off was hailed by some critics to be one of the best punk albums of 1995. Independent Magazine said that “Ripe For The Trade Off synthesizes the high points of two decades worth of overtly political punk. While Indie File Magazine said in 1995 “this stuff packs the punch of a prize heavyweight...Smart, without being stuffy or pretentious.” Upon remixing the album in 2024, David Barbe said this album still holds up musically and lyrically 3 decades after its’ initial release! Ripe For The Trade off will be released for the first time as a double LP. The album will also include unreleased bonus tracks mixed by Don Zientara (Fugazi) at Inner Studios in Arlington, Va.
