Rest In Pieces-My Rage
The first Rest In Pieces album has always been one of favorite NYHC records. A lot of heavy songs, great mosh parts, but also excellent lyrics. In the sometimes way too conservative NYHC scene, My Rage has not only an anti-religion song (the incredibly named Toys R Us) but also the pro choice Army Of God. Pretty left wing for a band also spotted live sporting Skrewdriver shirts. The music itself is similar to some of the other 1987 era bands like Sick Of It All and Breakdown. The raw recording really helps these songs out a lot too. This is just a classic all around.

Some Records
I’m too young obviously to have gone to Some Records, but the stories about the place are legendary. A few of my friends are/were close with Duane so I have had a lot of the mythology about this store passed down to me over the years. This was the go to store for NYHC; my pal Dave K was there the day the first batch of Sick Of It All (the only release of theirs I really enjoy) demos came in. Actually, speaking of Dave K, I remember being in New York City for a show and going off with Dave to hit up a bookstore or something and he mentioned having run into Duane on his way into the city that day. Pretty cool.
