With a love and appreciation for classic hardcore music and the intent to create something new and refreshing, World Be Free was formed. During the fall of 2014, Scott Vogel (Terror/Buried Alive), Joe Garlipp (Despair), Andrew Kline (Strife) and Sammy Siegler (Judge/CIV/Rival Schools) joined together to start World Be Free, with Arthur Smilios (Gorilla Biscuits) joining later on bass. They worked on crafting a sound that leaned heavily on the inspiration of the classic hardcore and punk albums they all grew up on, while adding a modern twist that kept it new and fresh.
