begun a new version of the band

By early 1993, Nathanson and McPheeters had relocated to Jersey City , New Jersey and begun a new version of the band with bassist Tonie Joy (of Moss Icon and Universal Order of Armageddon ) and drummer Brooks Headley (also from Universal Order of Armageddon). Although only extant for seven months, this was a prolific incarnation, as they continued to tour and released split 7-inches with Screeching Weasel (in which both bands swapped lyrics) and Universal Order of Armageddon. Their radical leftist stance became increasingly drenched in cynicism, which slowly threatened to overtake their message – the results of this evolution are evidenced in the nonsense song “Lillian” and other non-sequitur pieces from this time. Their final release was a split 8″ record with Man is the Bastard . Born Against played its final show in July 1993.
