Coming out of Tampa, FL , Slap Of Reality came together in 1987. In the span of 3 to 4 years they had released a demo, three 7" records, two full lengths, and toured in the US and internationally. Their sound ranged from California HC and Northeast HC in the beginning but grew to the melodic punk sound we know today in the process, along the lines of Dag Nasty, Samiam, and 7 Seconds.
Slap of Reality's second EP "Time Alone" was released on Kevin Seconds (7 Seconds) label Pazzafist Records in 1990 which also got them onto Cargo Records later. Slap of Reality consists of Frank Lacatena, Joe Kiser, David Peralta, Rob Sexton, Gregg Moore.
The band has released a music video for the song "Never Far".
