Here is the Up Front set from when they played on WNYU.
Up Front was a hardcore band from New York City. They began in 1986/1987. They are most known for their songs on the 'X Marks The Spot' comp and the 'Spirit' LP, which some people claim is terrible and others claim is wonderful. It's all a matter of opinion really. Other early releases include a demo, which isn't too hot, but I will post if people want to hear it.
Up Front had a solid sound, a bit faster than most, kind of like Our Gang. They played on WNYU and, to me, I think that the set is the best representation of their sound, short of seeing them live. The live setting captures a lot of the fury and passion of seeing bands live, that is often lost on recordings.
In the late 90's, Larry Ransom put the best songs from the WNYU set on 7".
Here is the entire set. I hope you enjoy the music!
