We're Back!!!

Hello!
Thanks for all the nice comments and emails, while I have been away/busy!
I have been working a whole lot of over time lately and am trying to finish up with school, so that is why I have been lacking with posts. To fix that, I enlisted the help of someone else to help me keep this updated. So....
in the next week or so, plan on things being back to four or five posts a week. I figure, if I update twice and the guest blogger posts twice a week, things should be back to normal.
Also, we are working on re-upping all the downed links, so look forward to that as well.
Thanks for being patient!!!

Samhain- Live At The Ritz 7-14-86 w/ soundboard quality

Free Image Hosting

Here is a superb quality Samhain set from when they played at the Ritz. This is soundboard quality, so you can clearly hear everything going on.
Everyone knows about Samhain, Danzig's band after the Misfits, blah blah blah. There are quite a few hits played here, including a couple Misfits songs.
I think this is some of the best stuff Danzig has done. Years ago, Samhain was doing a reunion tour and I had tickets for that for months, there was no way I was missing Samhain. So the day of the show, lots of people called me to go with them, but I denied them all because I didn't want to let me seeing Samhain be up to someone else and their car. So it was time to go and my car won't start! I called other people but no one was home, they all had left for the show! Oh no! This was before any of us had cell phones too, so contacting someone when they weren't at home was no easy deal. So I open the hood of the car and I don't know shit about cars, so I get mad and punch the battery. I'm about to give up and accept defeat and I figure I'll try to start it one more time... and... it started! Oh joy! I was a but worried that I would get downtown and it wouldn't start after the show, but it did and the night was great. Samhain... fuck, what a great band!
Enjoy!

Altercation- Rehearsal

Free Image Hosting

Here is a rare Altercation rehearsal. Altercation is a pretty unknown NYHC band, who only released a demo. Most people who are fans of this type of music hold them in pretty high regard. The demo and WNYU set can be found anywhere online, but this rehearsal is a little bit harder to find.
Enjoy the music!

Half Off- Live At Berkely, CA 3-10-87

Free Image Hosting

Here is a live set from the cool hardcore band Half Off. Sorry for using the art for their LP for the heading on this post, but it was all I could find!
Half Off is known for their free thinking lyrics which clashed with a lot of the straight edge bands of the time, especially since the singer, Billy Rubin, was pretty outspoken about it. Bypassing all that silly drama, the music is pretty cool, actually having a lot in common with straight edge bands of the time.
Enjoy!

Welcome Back!!!

Hello!
Sorry I have been away for a while. I have been really busy with work and having fun in the summertime. That is why I haven't been updating very much. I will be updating a lot in the coming weeks.
I am adding two new entries today and will be reupdating some of the downed links!
If something is down, please post about it in the chatbox on the right side of the screen! I will see it there way before I see it in a comments.
That is all.
Enjoy the music!

Dmize- Live On WNYU

Free Image Hosting

Here is the much requested WNYU set from Dmize. I got a lot of emails about this before I had even posted that demo collection. This is a solid set and my only complaint would be that the vocals are a bit loud at times.
See the demo collection post for more info on this band!
Enjoy the music!

Classic New York Hardcore band. They had some of the best between song talk ever, but hey, the songs themselves are A+ as well.
Enjoy!
