Effective period / Period of releases: 1992 - 1994
Members: Peter Hines, Vic Bondi, Colin Sears, Roger Marbury, Pat Mahoney
Following the demise of Articles of Faith in 1985, singer Vic Bondi formed Jones Very (named after a 19th-century transcendentalist poet and unitarian minister) and, with Dag Nasty's rhythm section, Alloy. Eliminate (1992) offers some highly palatable, powerful and melodic hardcore that doesn't stray too far from the Articles of Faith blueprint, and their self-titled third album investigates melody even further. They folded in 1995 following the mini-album Paper Thin Front.
