Background
Walk Together, Rock Together was originally released as an EP in 1985. In 1986, it was expanded into a full length by adding live songs to the albums B-Side. The studio tracks were produced by Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye, who also provided backing vocals, and mixed by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz.
Critical reception
AllMusic called the album "an essential chapter of early hardcore." Maximum Rocknroll wrote that "all the pleasant harmonies and sing-alongs are present in full form, and the well thought-out lyrics that make this band what they are." Trouser Press wrote that the album "demonstrates an early interest in slowing things down and tuning them up along positive Clash/Pistols lines."
