Formed in 1992 in Den Bosch ('s-Hertogenbosch) (NL), Undeclinable Ambuscade spent a couple of years getting their shit together before releasing their first record, "Softsqueakingernieonswing". Followed not long after by the highly energetic 4 track CD "Fastflavouredfartcore...." These records got the band noticed. They then started to play more or less everywhere in the Netherlands. Supporting the likes of Bad Religion, Offspring, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Ten Foot Pole, Dog Eat Dog and Shelter to name but a few. Their biggest break at the time was playing the Lowlands festival in '96. Around the same time Ignition Records released their debut full length "Their Greatest Adventures."
Epitaph recognised the blossoming talents of the band and signed them in the summer of 1997 before re-releasing "Their Greatest Adventures" in November of that year. Undeclinable Ambuscade then embarked on what may be indeed one of their greatest adventures so far; writing their Epitaph debut.
After 9 months of hard work, fine song writing, booze, cigarettes and some damn fine coffee, One For The Money came screaming from the bloody womb of RS 29 studios. Produced with a full on, in yo' face sound by Oscar Holleman (Gorefest) and Menno Bakker (NRA, Human Alert). One For The Money takes you through tales of anger, confusion, love, despair, discrimination and death.
"Going Crazy" where a groupie takes her dreams just a step too far. Then there's the testicle shriveling "Trapped," about a girl who desperately wants to be a one of the boys. One to Di for, "Chatterbox," a hell of an explosive song against landmines. "7 Years," straight from the heart, taking you into the cataclysm of the notorious 7 year itch.
Later the changed there name in Undeclinable because everyone called them like that. They released Sound City Burning under that name. Lead singer Jasper quit the band while they where recording a new album. They have a new singer now, Erik van Haaren, and are known as The Undeclinables

Against the world
Why always us against the world?
No, not again
Not us again
Why always us against the world?
You!
The lyrics to Undeclinable Ambuscade's song "Not Again" talk about the feeling of being constantly misunderstood and judged by the rest of the world. The singer is frustrated and tired of always feeling like they are facing the world alone, without anybody really understanding or supporting them. The repetition of the phrase "No, not again" emphasizes this feeling of exhaustion and hopelessness, while the question "Why always us against the world?" highlights the unfairness and injustice of the situation.
The vocalist also addresses the audience directly, with the line "You!" The use of the second person singular pronoun gives the impression of an urgent and personal appeal, as if the singer is asking the listener to acknowledge and empathize with their struggle. The overall mood of the song is one of defiance and resilience, as the singer refuses to give up despite the adversities they face.
