The Arizona desert has produced its fair share of notable underground music over the years, and one of its early hardcore offerings was the emotional and political charge of Groundwork. Sharing the stage with bands like Unbroken, Rorschach, Swing Kids, Chokehold, Born Against, Outspoken, Downcast, Four Walls Falling, Native Nod, and many more, their evolution in sound and approach culminated in their only full-length release in 1994. "Today We Will Not Be Invisible Nor Silent" is sometimes cited as a defining record of that era in hardcore, despite the band remaining lesser known than many of its contemporaries.
