New York Hardcore

“Sert, acımasız ama dürüst.” -Skratch Magazine

N.Y.H.C. Frank Pavich tarafından yönetilen, 1990’ların ortalarındaki New York hardcore sahnesini konu alan esaslı bir belgesel yapımdır. Çekimleri 1995’in ortalarında tamamlanan belgesel ilk olarak 1999’da Pavich tarafından VHS olarak yayımlandı.

Belgesel Aralık 2007’de HALO 8 Entertainment tarafından dağıtım için satın alındı ve 25 Mart 2008’de iki disklik özel edisyonuyla yeniden yayınlandı. İkinci diskte orijinal belgeselden on yıl sonra çekilen “Where Are They Now?” röportajları, Vision of Disorder, Madball, 25 ta Life, 108, No Redeeming Social Value, District 9 ve daha fazlasının tüm şarkılarının canlı performanslarının yanı sıra Lou Koller (Sick of It All) ve Toby Morse (H2O) ile yapılan yeni röportajlar da dahil olmak üzere daha önce yayınlanmamış birçok görüntü de yer alıyor.

Lord Ezec aka Danny Diablo had since moved to LA, where he is interview at his house right on Pico Union (also the stompin grounds of the notorious Psycho Realm).

“A fantastic gem.” -Slap Skateboard Magazine

N.Y.H.C. is the first feature-length documentary to explore the New York Harcore music scene. Drawings its roots from punk rock, hardcore evolved into a dedicated, self-contained movement, unconcerned with success in the mainstream. The documentary follows seven bands in the summer of 1995, ranging from Bronx inner-city youth to Long Island suburbanites to Hare Krishna devotees. N.Y.H.C. is a surprisingly in-depth and non-exploitive look into a vital and often neglected music community.
