VERBAL ASSAULT was an US hardcore punk band that started in Newport, Rhode Island. We played our first show on 21 November 1983, released a demo (The Masses), three EP's (Learn, On and Exit), a 7" ("Tiny Giants") and an album (Trial). Throughout the '80's we toured North America and Europe extensively, and played our last show on 4 August 1991.
