Vol.7: NYHC

by Ken Jenie

 

Welcome to the 7th installment of Heart Attack! We will go all the way back to the year where New York Hardcore really took off and inspired many generations of current bands. It’s funny when we say New York Hardcore (NYHC), most people would immediately come up with names like Sick of It all, Madball, and Agnostic Front, but the truth is New York City has so many other great bands that only exist within shorter period of times (some of them still survive to this day, some would even vanish). America’s hardcore is all about its cities and how those cities reflect the sound of each and particular bands. When it comes to Big Apple, it’s no greater mystery that the sounds embedded on each bands, is very much an honest portrayal of what they’re gone through everyday life, which comes in form of hope, despair, lost, anger as well as other type of emotions. In this episode, I will be sharing to all of you, some of my favorite jams from the early days of NYHC. I might’ve missed some bands as I can’t possibly include every bands, due to limited time and space. Enjoy!
