Wow. That was probably an awesome St. Paddys Day.

They were sooo close to making it onto the DVD, but the file format wouldn't work for whatever reason when I was transferring/editing. Couldn't be helped given time constraints.

It's still good to know the history of the area since it started in 89/90. Bands of today wouldn't be around were it not for bands of yesterday.

I heard that NEPA hardcore showcase skipped over them pretty nicely as well. Doesn't make sense since SFAR, Krutch, and Mushmouth were easily the biggest NEPA bands to come out from back then.

Here's a couple shots from the Exhibit. You'll see them in there. Was lucky to get a jacket and t-shirt and some flyers too from SFAR for it. Krutch /Feeble 7" on the shelf too but kinda hard to make out in the flick.

I'm guessing that Fallout isn't the metal band I was in.


Really need Krutch/SFAR/Mushmouth though.

Uploaded some pics from the Exhibit to profile. Should make some feel better. No one left out.

Major shortage on a lot of big names, but there as no shortage of Option

Curious to know who was left out. I made sure to try to include everyone I could.

SFAR was not around during the era of this vid. I think they were going for late 80's early 90's just by the bands listed. KRUTCH was around...don't know why they were overlooked & Mushmouth is a SEPA pand from reading/wyomissing....Were's DOGS ON CHAINS? JESUS WORE BIRKENSTOCKS? FIREFLY? TRACTOR? OSSUARY? UNSEEN HOLOCAUST? hahahaa

Ossuary almost made it too. That's awesome. Tried to get Incarnated, Magnus and Firefly too. Unfortunately because of trying to keep the DVD under 2 hours for picture quality reasons, I could really only use footage, all of which I had to transfer from VHS to DVD then to Mov. files, of full songs from each band. I have sick Incarnated and Magnus footy but the songs cut off or start late etc. In some cases, lighting is just too bad to work with or file types aren't compatible or there just plain wasn't anything anyone filmed for me to use.

The good thing is is that all of the shows are now preserved on disc. I have tons of shows from Sea Sea's and Mantis Green although none from the Staircase at KMart as I'm thinking about it. Some day I'll get a chance to put some on Youtube.

As far as the Exhibit, no one was left out. Take a look at the pics and check it out. Krutch and SFAR and I believe Mushmouth are in them as tapes or clothing or stickers. Anyone that went to it would have seen all the flyers, over 400 of them from various local spots, and know that every band that existed at all in Hardcore during those 10 years was on them. Vince at Sea Sea's should have a statue to him made and placed in Moosic. Everything that was contributed was stuff saved by people for like 10 or 20 yrs. In then end I worked with what I could and no one that went looked like they were disappointed. If one good thing came out of it, it's that a lot of people came together as friends again. That's my idea of what Hardcore is to me. Hopefully someone will do a 2000-2010 and show the next generation that part of history.
