East Side Militia is the second studio album by American industrial rock band Chemlab, released on October 8, 1996 by Fifth Colvmn and Metal Blade Records.

[7][8] Aiding & Abetting called East Side Militia laden with "raging beats, accessible tunes and the attitude that is almost unmatched anywhere" and credited it along with the band's debut as "awesome industrial dance albums.

"[9] Sonic Boom criticized the album's length but commended the personal touches that vocalist Jared Louche brought to the lyrics and said "the music is what one would expect with the band taking so much time between releases, a diverse collection of thickly layered synthcore tracks coupled with a few slower swing style love songs.

[12][13] On the other hand, Scott Hefflon of Lollipop Magazine was largely negative towards the album, criticizing the writing for being dull and describing the music as "new blah-rock with misfiring artsy yearnings.

"[14] All tracks are written by Jared Louche, Dylan Thomas More and William Tucker, except "Latex" co-written with John DeSalvo and "Pyromance" by Geno LenardoAdapted from the album's liner notes.
