Earlier quoted context omitted.
i played in "The Banner" and "Pellinore". neither is a staple of the New York Hardcore scene, but I'd like to think anyone involved in the NJ/NY scene from 2004-2012 is probably familiar. both are on Spotify, if you care to listen. :) this is obviously kind of new school with respect to the documentary, but they feature some newer bands so I thought it was fair game. :)
Gosh, I used to love The Banner. I can't believe this thread is seriously happening on Hacker News but it's amazing. I was at this show with Shai Hulud (all time favorite status) at ABC No Rio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_52HtykF1gs .
the odds of seeing a thread like this on HN seem slim, and the odds someone here is familiar with one of my bands even slimmer.
i stopped playing with them in 2009 when i landed a gig in the startup world that was too hard to pass up, so unfortunately i wasn't actually at the show in the video. but it still means a lot to me to see it posted here. :)
