Commonly referred to as the ISHC, this kiddie clean and never cussing group are a side project of the popular pop punk band New Found Glory.

The lineup is the same as New Found Glory except guitarist Chad Gilbert (formerly of hardcore band Shai Hulud) has swapped places with vocalist Jordan Pundik, with Pundik on guitar.

ISHC's first release "Takin' It Ova" was first a limited release in Japan on "In-N-Out" records on August 1, 2007. It was re-released as a free accompaniment to the New Found Glory EP "Tip of the Iceberg" released on April 29, 2008 through Bridge 9 Records.

Roads?
Where we're going we don't need no roads

Marty McFly
Come pick me up
I need a ride
I wanna see what shows were like in '83

Back to when it all began
Back to when it meant so much more
Back to all who sold school shows
I'll never wanna go
Back to the future

Hey Doc Brown
I wanna see Earth when it came about
No I can't relate, so I sent you right back to '88

Back to when it all began
Back to when it meant so much more
Back to all who sold school shows
Now I never wanna go
Back to the future

Back to the future
Back to the future
Back to the future
Yeah

You know who I wanna see?
I'll tell you

Mighty Fred at 9:30
Crowmax at The Ritz
I'll never wanna go
Back to the future

Jeeby and seebys wrecking crew at the rap
I'll never wanna go
Back to the future

Youth of today
At the anthrax
I'll never wanna go
Back to the future

Brederan and sheres
We're all in Vegas

I'll never wanna go
Back to the future

Overall Meaning

The song "Back to the Future" by International Superheroes of Hardcore takes inspiration from the classic 1985 movie of the same name. The first verse features the well-known quote from the film, "Roads? Where we're going we don't need no roads," spoken by the eccentric scientist, Doc Brown. However, in this song, the band takes a different approach to time travel, using it as a way to go back in time and attend shows that they missed out on. The singer asks Marty McFly to pick him up and take him back to 1983 to see what shows were like back then, specifically referencing Mighty Fred at 9:30, Crowmax at The Ritz, Jeeby and Seebys Wrecking Crew, Youth of Today at the Anthrax, and Brederan and Sheres in Vegas.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Back to the future" several times, perhaps as a way to emphasize the desire to relive past experiences. The song's theme of nostalgia and longing for a different time is further emphasized in the second verse, where the singer asks Doc Brown to take him even further back to see the creation of Earth. However, the lyrics end with a repetition of the line "Now I never wanna go / Back to the future," perhaps indicating that while they enjoyed experiencing these shows, they ultimately prefer to live in the present.
