Scott Vogel, then of Buffalo hardcore group Despair, sings along with Strife’s Rick Rodney during a show at the long-closed Hungry Charley’s, one of Syracuse hardcore’s many homes over the years.  Despair co-headlined the Sunday matinée with Strife, while Brother’s Keeper and Envy provided support.

We were spoiled by the quantity and quality of fantastic shows back then.  I am sure that some people are saying the same thing now, though I would argue that everything has changed (in ways both good and bad).

Another old one from the archives.  Shot on film, of course, and scanned after close to twenty years in storage.
