25 Ta Life

Friendship, Loyalty, Commitment

Triple Crown

This is for the kids who don’t feel silly wearing basketball jerseys to shows. It’s New York Hardcore with the old school values and some metal. The vocals, well, are a little strange, I think. The typical gruff tough guy yelling, but then you have some demented cackling-type vocals. My friend who wears those basketball jerseys to shows says that it is “some dope shit, man.” Songs about scene unity (a good thing) and giving out beat downs (uhhh… not good). Anyway, it’s got the New York sound and it has some old school guys doing back-up vocals, so if you’re hungering for something to finger point to, go get this.

Triple Crown Records, 331 West 57th #472, New York, NY 10019
