I have been to a few hardcore shows. Years ago I went to a book signing and get-together at a graffiti-themed art store for a book you might like, Urban Styles: Graffiti in New York Hardcore, which deals with these overlap of these two subcultures. It has loads of pictures of old show flyers, album covers, and NYHC-themed graffiti-style art in it. I met Jere from Dmize at the signing
and I’m acquainted with Louie “KR” Gasparro who played drums for Murphy’s Law and Lordz of Brooklyn and some DMS people (not people I want to closely befriend, lol).
I was an AF fanatic for years! I first heard Victim in Pain at 13 years old, in 1993. I was too little (and scared, lol) to go to CB’s.
Some pics I think you’d appreciate.
