WOW!!! I cannot believe it!!! This Chucky "True Colors" of Gomez Films, Inc. and I look crazy!!! Wow, i cannot believe that I am witnessing me 25 years ago?!? Crazy!!! I really loved that show!!!! :) I had the best time... Straight Ahead was one of my favorite NYC Hardcore bands. As, I am watching this clip, I now want to make a documentary about the NYC Hardcore scene, so I can create an excuse to shoot a reunion show somewhere in NEW YORK CITY. Happy Holidays.
I was at this show. Classic. My old pal Chuck True Colors sings along during Breakaway. This period of NYHC was fucking awesome. CBGBS and Real NYHC rip.
i have a bootleg copy of spirit of youth on gold vinyl. dont care if its a boot at all they are one of the greatest hardcore bands ever and i love that record.
not gonna listen to what they say.... break through... break free break away....
wow... had this 12" back then... and listened to it over and over and over .... can't believe this voice came out of - him. Funny. Too bad the vocals the recording blows... but that's punk.
CBGB hardcore matinee. looks like the local football team stopped by after practice
There were some cool bands and kids back then, but there were also a bunch of violent assholes who started fights, too. Check out the stupid jock football jerseys some of these dudes are wearing. Most of these guys were out of the scene within a few years.
Young at heart, all for fun. We fight for right, to all be one. We speak through music. Our voice will never stop. When we communicate we know not to listen to your rot. A burst of energy is what we give. Being ourselves is how we live. Spirit Of Youth! We're not the same. We all think different. But the spirit of youth, we all live it. Spirit Of Youth!
The only other official recording they did was the End The Warzone compilation with Attitude Adjustment, LARM and another band that is alluding me right now. Numerous boots have been made of the 12" but thats about it.
Hmmmm, remembering around 97? 98? I think lost and found records put it out on cd. Either lost and found or somebody else...i dropped the ball buying it, than it was sold out.
This was when hardcore was HARDCORE! Maybee 2 nyhc bands had been signed to record deals. It was DIY. Almost everyone got along. Shows were frequent and crowded. Best years of my youth.
Sounds like shit.
