In 1994 I against I was founded in Dordrecht, a town in The Netherlands close to Rotterdam. Bob, Jasper and Ronald found the best way to get rid of their (teenage) energy was by playing up-tempo, melodic punk rock songs. Before they knew it they were the first European band ever to sign a contract with Brett Gurewitz’s label Epitaph Records. A dream came true, since Epitaph happened to be home to all of their favourite bands.

Bill Stevenson and Stephen Egerton of the Descendents produced I against I’s debut album Headcleaner which became a punk rock classic, featuring songs like Maybe Tomorrow and Nailed to the floor. In the following years two more records saw the light of day, and hundreds of shows took I against I throughout Europe, playing with bands such as Descendents, ALL, Down by Law, Bad Religion, Rancid, Undeclinable Ambuscade.

In 1994 werd I against I opgericht in Dordrecht, onder de rook van Rotterdam. Bob, Jasper en Ronald vinden een uitlaatklep in het spelen van uptempo, melodieuze punkpopliedjes. Voor ze het wisten waren ze de eerste Europese band ooit die werd getekend door Epitaph, het platenlabel van Bad Religion-gitarist Brett Gürewitz. Toevallig ook het label waar al hun favoriete bands op zaten.

Drummer Bill Stevenson en Stephen Egerton van de Descendents produceerden I against I’s debuutplaat Headcleaner, die met nummers als  Maybe Tomorrow en Nailed To The Floor geldt als een klassieker binnen de Nederlandse punkrock.  In de jaren die volgden verschenen nog twee albums en talloze compilaties, en was de band honderden keren te zien door heel Europa, onder andere met Undeclinable Ambuscade, Rancid, Travoltas, de Descendents, ALL, Bad Religion en Blink-182.
