Boston? That scene was insane in the late 90s.
- overcast 8y agoAlbany area. Tons of good of hardcore bands came out of that scene.
- throw7 8y agoAlthough not part of it, I remember the QE2 and had friends who were into the scene at the time. Punk, hardcore, and combat boots. Looking back, I missed out.
- overcast 8y agoHell yes, QE2 was a hole, but legendary in that area. SO many weekends spent there in my teenage years.
- jghn 8y agoCollege for me but I spent a lot of time at the QE2. Awesome place
- overcast 8y agoI HOPE you came back for the Section 8 double night reunion a few years ago! They completely sold out back to back nights at Northern Lights.
- jghn 8y agoHah, haven't been to Albany for about 10 years. But I definitely remember seeing them a bunch back in the day.

- electricslpnsld 8y agoAny 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?
- overcast 8y agoSection 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! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO9wB1sUEUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO9wB1sUEUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeWMC75WgUA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeWMC75WgUA Eh, there were some people with the straight edge stuff, the singer of One King Down was big on it, but that wasn't the scene. --Must listen to-- Cutthroat (HateBreedsRage) One King Down Withstand DyingTaLive The Clay People --Other notable-- Straightjacket Wrath Skinless End of Line Stigmata Politics of Contraband
- electricslpnsld 8y agoThanks, section 8 is amazing! I somehow missed them entirely from long island.
- overcast 8y agoSo 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!
