i opened for you in Tucson in 20002. I was in Wish You Were Dead with Chas (from Pray For.Rain) i was 17 and you were the fucking coolest guy on earth and i always appreciated that bro. i still craaank Force Fed often. Big respect homie
The year that hellfest got shut down in Trenton the whole NJHC scene came together and DIY shows popped up all over New Jersey. It wasn't a complete bust, my best friend Chris set up a show in my hometown of hackettstown NJ(home of m&Ms candy) and had ion dissonance, this is hell, the warriors, among others! I couldn't attend because I was either playing a show or had a previous engagement, but still...the fact that like ten shows all over the state popped up over night is a true testament of how strong the new jersey hardcore scene is and was at the time!
went to the nodes of ranvier/Symphony in peril hellfest make up show at the skatepark...on the skate rink floor....maybe 20 people. Heath and excessdb did all the stacked ones at bloomfield ave cafe, etc So many insane lineups after the cancelation.
I grew up in the Philly area and my old band played shows put on by Joe and with a couple of his bands back in the early 2000s. A lot of people talk shit, but Joe Hardcore is a genuine dude and a big part of why the Philly hardcore scene is so legendary.
TIHC is still THHEEEEEE hardcore festival imo, great to see other festivals popping up across the country that get the same love tihc does, that’s why we love this.
dude I'm having a hard time watching some of your videos cos I kinda hated you for some reason haha but our intro trying to explain the transition to more high effort content made me sub (again) haha Pls do more of this coz you are good at this.
would like to finish the video but the vhs static stuff going on was stressing me the hell out! just a little bit over the top for me and I even owned the Hellfest VHS when it came out haha
I graduated at that arena and have been there multiple times it makes sense they’d pull some shit like that in general it’s hard to get any hardcore shit going in the Trenton area luckily there’s been at least a couple shows around here I just wish we could go back to the days of suburban scum and stuff the scene was around here a lot more years before I even knew what it was

Tom anderson would like to have a word
What a time that was
This is hardcore?
There was Columbus fest before hellfest I think. Later there was pointless fest in Philly. There was chaos in Tejas
would like to finish the video but the vhs static stuff going on was stressing me the hell out! just a little bit over the top for me and I even owned the Hellfest VHS when it came out haha
weak
We need to get him to bring back heart fest in ottawa. Lol
