Born Against was a critically acclaimed left-wing, in-your-face hardcore punk band from New York.

The band performed together in the four years between 1989 and 1993. Vocal duties were handled by Sam McPheeters, and Adam Nathanson was the key guitarist. The rhythm section frequently changed in its line-up, but some prominent temporary members of the band included Neil Burke and Tonie Joy (from Universal Order of Armageddon) on bass guitar, and Melissa York (later in Team Dresch and The Butchies) and Brooks Headley (Universal Order of Armageddon) on drums. McPheeters and Burke later went on to form the band Men's Recovery Project. In 2003, McPheeters and Headley formed the Los Angeles-based Wrangler Brutes.
