Re-uniting in 2010, Toby White, Ben Christo and Tom Gunningham of AKO hit the studio to record one last single to celebrate a legacy of hardcore that influenced and shaped a scene in the early 2000s.
Here available to buy and download for the first time ever, 'The Death Of Us' showcases a musical maturity, developed from the same agression that brought 2001's Find Yourself. WIth additional unreleased tracks 'Moderate Intake' (a cut from an EP that was never released) and a take of 'My Time To Shine' from their BBC Maida Vale Studios session in 2001.
All proceeds from the sale of this single will go directly to the mental health charity, Mind (www.mind.org.uk); a cause near and dear to the hearts of the band in an effort to help those who need it.
