Miami and new York punk/hardcore scene

Djblurr · 03-13-2010, 09:46 PM

[QUOTE=Meph1986;835245]There's a spot here in Miami by the name of Churchill's Pub that has frequent punk shows.

I had a look at churchills online, but doesn't appear to be any punk shows in next couple days. More specifically I'm in south beach - will I have any chance to find anything? Are there any sites out there that you guys know of because I can't find anything.

Cheers

I wouldn't consider myself a snob but the NY scene was mainly the 80's with Agnostic Front, Crumbsuckers, Leeway and Ludichrist leading the way whilst other bands emerged on the scene in other parts of the U.S such as Corrosion Of Conformity ( early stuff only) and D.R.I.

Some of these bands were lumped in with Thrash but that's only because they emerged at the same time as Thrash was making it big but they had far more in common with Punk than Metal and then merged to a certain degree into the metal scene either by being labelled with a Crossover tag or assimilating a metal sound.

D.R.I's Crossover is probably THE album that encapsulates this but this is hardly Metal or Punk but both.

Umm... you can't give any credit to DC? The hardcore scene there started in the early 80's, Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Government Issue and so on were already working on crossing punk and metal back in '81 or earlier. Dischord was essentially the beginning of hardcore as far as I'm concerned. Though the New York scene was starting off around then too, I'm not trying to discredit those artists. Just saying you probably shouldn't write off DC if you have any sort of interest in hardcore. That was insanely off topic but oh well, I doubt anybody's going to write about punk concerts in Miami.
