John Stabb of Government Issue Passes On Due To Stomach Cancer

John Stabb of Government Issue Passes On Due To Stomach Cancer

Sad news hearing about the passing of Government Issue's own John Stabb. Growing up, the DC hardcore and punk scene were a fixture to my soundscape and Government Issue was very much of punk that experience. We were fortunate enough to do a 7" vinyl record with John and his other band History Repeated and for that, we cannot thank him enough. Rest In Power my friend.
