TONY ERBA TALKS CLEVELAND HARDCORE HISTORY



DoubleXCross Webzine has posted an interesting two part history of Cleveland Hardcore by Tony Erba of Face Value. For some background on bands like Confront, Integrity and Ringworm, check it out.

Our biggest show was opening for WARZONE, Confront and Domestic Crisis at September's in Bedford Hts in August '87. There was a room in the back that was the owner's taxidermy trophy room. Warzone apparently trashed it, we got the blame, and that was it for ever getting booked THERE again. Also at that show, some skin was picking on Jay Kuebler, the most posi, sweet kid you'd ever wanna meet, drummer from Confront that weighed 90 lbs soaking wet. Steve Murad AKA 'Mean Steve' put his motorcycle helmet on and headbutted the skin and destroyed him.

While you're at it, read everything this blog has to offer. It's all amazing.
