about

Violation of Trust, an Eindhoven (tne Netherlands) based hardcoreband, started in 1992, and had risen from the ashes of a band called Noise Reduction. After a few line-up changes, the band consisted of Marco Swaan (vocals), Koen van Horssen (guitar), Peter Trooster (guitar), Dirk van Stiphout (bass), and Sander van Baalen (drums/vocals).

Shortly after the release of their demo, Lost&Found released VOT's first official call to arms, the "Forced To Fight" 7".

Because of personal reasons, Peter quit the band shortly thereafter. A new guitarplayer was quickly found in Freek Stemfoort, who had already been a longtime friend of the band. In 1996, VOT released their first full-length album on L&F, called "Wiseguys". The album was received prety well in the mags and zines, and earned them even more shows and a broader fanbase. 1998 saw the following up of "Wiseguys", in the form of the 8-track album "Rhymes Of Redemption", also released on Lost&Found. The following years were spent playing lots of venues and festivals (amongst them the prestig
