In Effect posted a brilliant
interview with Jimmy Kontra who sang for a brief period in Agnostic Front before Roger and had his own band Virus released on Rat Cage Records. If you're into NYHC you better read this because he is one of the original punks. Hanging out on the LES before there even was AF or Cause For Alarm or any other band that you can think of falling into the category of NYHC. It was the time of The Stimulators, The Mad, Kraut, etc.
Jimmy: "NYHC, please….the term was “hardcore punk”. Who made up NYHC, I don’t know but it’s a bullshit term"
As much as I like that statement I have to say it was The Abused, one of my all time favorites, who might not have invented the term but most probably did a lot to establish it. Anyways. Go get another crucial lesson in hc-punk history!!
