New York hardcore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New York Hardcore (NYHC) refers to hardcore punk and metalcore music created in New York City and to the subculture associated with that music.

Though New York City played a central role in the development of early punk rock, the hardcore scene came to New York relatively late compared to other major cities, though an important scene finally did emerge in 1981.[1] [2] The scene has been focused around venues such as CBGBs and ABC No Rio. The New York scene was home to most of the early influential Youth crew bands, such as Youth of Today, Sick of it All, Gorilla Biscuits, Bold, Side By Side, and later bands like Shelter and Judge.

However, not all bands in the NYHC scene actually reside in the city; other areas of the scene include suburban Long Island, southern Connecticut and northern New Jersey. In the 2000s, these areas outside the city have become an even bigger hotbed for punk rock, hardcore and their various subgenres than the city of New York. Albany, New York has hosted many hardcore bands at all ages concerts organized by Combined Effort, a non-profit, DIY group run by Dave Stein (Albany Style), Jason O'Toole (Life's Blood) and Sam McPheeters (Born Against).

Many 1980s NYHC bands have been criticized for their lack of touring statewide, preferring that the fans should come to them. This attitude has changed since the formation of the scene.

Bad Brains, although starting in Washington, DC later moved to New York City.
