Description

DescriptionThe V/A New York City Hardcore: The Way It Is full-length is considered by many to be a classic, documenting NYHC as it was in 1988. More than just a straight-edge collection, it compiled bands from all facets of the hardcore scene including BOLD, NAUSEA, WARZONE, GORILLA BISCUITS, TRIP 6, BREAKDOWN, YOUTH OF TODAY, SICK OF IT ALL, KRAKDOWN, SIDE BY SIDE, YOUTH DEFENSE LEAGUE and SUPERTOUCH. Comparable to Boston’s This Is Boston Not LA or Washington, DC’s Flex Your Head, New York City Hardcore: The Way It Is helped push New York to the forefront of the American hardcore scene. The photo on the album cover was taken by iconic NYHC photographer BJ Papas at The Anthrax in Norwalk CT, and feature Gorilla Biscuits performing along with members of Warzone, Youth of Today, BOLD and other staples of the scene at that time.
