Biography

Union 13 is a band from East Los Angeles, California, USA who have, to date, released four full length albums – three on Epitaph Records and one on Disaster Records.

Their music is fast and furious – incorporating elements of their Hispanic-American upbringing into the music as well as occasionally singing the odd song on all their albums in Spanish.

The band had made a name for themselves by playing backyard parties in their East Los Angeles locality until one day, Brett Gurewitz, owner of the Epitaph Records label, turned up at one of their performances and persuaded them to record a demo at his Westbeach Recorders studio in Hollywood.

Rancid duo, Tim Armstrongand Lars Frederiksen were suitably impressed with the demo and were keen to produce the band’s first album. They duly entered the studio and officially signed to Epitaph sub-label Hell-Cat records.

By the time the band came to record their third album, Youth, Betrayal and the Awakening, the line-up had been cut in half. Sandoval and Navarro left the band and it was down to José Mercado to do the job of two guitarists and bass player. They returned to the Westbeach Recorders studio with Donnell Cameron in the producer’s chair. The album was released in September, 2000.
