Any bands from that scene or imprints worth checking out? I remember seeing some upstate bands from Syracuse/Rochester/Buffalo when they'd do east coast tours, but I'm blanking on Albany acts!

Was Albany hardcore big on the sxe/vegan thing at that time?



Section 8 is the big one you should know, these were our gods. EVERYONE listened to them growing up. Albums Pain is Truth, and Nine Ways to Say I Love You. The latter is required listening.

Here are the two reunion nights recorded! I'm in there somewhere!

Thanks, section 8 is amazing! I somehow missed them entirely from long island.


So good, they disbanded the same year I went off to college. That reunion show 16 years later was like they never skipped a beat. It was amazing!
