Album containing more than a hundred photographs mainly around the Hardcore Punk group: Cold Front. Originally from Astoria in Queens, Cold Front became a local celebrity from 1991. There are many pictures taken of their concerts around their public, their fans and their friends. A very interesting testimony to the New York Hardcore Punk scene (known as NYHC). Very active scene since the beginning of the 1980s and especially in the beginning of the 90s.

 

Anarchist skinhead mentality, dark and realistic lyrics, more aggressive music already borrowing some elements from heavy metal, more willingly macho attitude (from the tough guys on the scene), rejection of straight edge and veganism, as well as a more or less pronounced patriotism depending on the group. The most influential NYHC bands were Agnostic Front, Madball, Biohazard, Sick of It All, Cro-Mags, Gorilla Biscuits, Judge, Breakdown, Subzero, Murphy’s Law, Warzone, Leeway, 25 Ta Life, Comin Correct, Vision of Disorder , Indecision, Most Precious Blood, Killing Time, Crown of Thornz, District 9, No Redeeming Social Value, Underdog, Straight Ahead, Sheer Terror, and Neglect.
