Slap in your mouthpieces and strap on the brass knuckles, because this week we hitch a ride to Boston for a full-on historical beatdown courtesy of old-school hardcore killers DYS, SS Decontrol, Gang Green, Last Rights, Slapshot, Siege, plus more recent entries from one of the USA’s hardest and tightest music scenes including Converge, Blood for Blood, the Hope Conspiracy, Panzerbastard, and many more! Hail the harbor, and know your Roots!

The rise of Boston hardcore is documented fully, along with all other early U.S. hardcore scenes, in TOUCH AND GO: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine ’79–’83, by Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson. Read the book!
