Redemption 87 was an American East Bay hardcore punk band containing ex-members of Unit Pride, Skankin' Pickle, and Token Entry.
Their goal was to reclaim "hardcore" from the crossover heavy metal music it had become and return it to its punk roots.
They were heavily influenced by New York hardcore bands including Youth of Today, Sick of It All, Warzone, and Gorilla Biscuits.
In 1995 they released their first EP, The Spidey Sessions, which contained four songs.
In 1999, the band dissolved and Jade Puget joined AFI, while Eric Ozenne formed The Nerve Agents.
