Influences: Enterprise Hardcore was formed in the winter of 2000/2001 as a means to combine all the efforts that Josh Lyons was putting forth throughout the hardcore scene at the time. At the time, Enterprise Hardcore consisted of booking local shows, doing a fanzine (The right path), releasing cds and 7"s (blatherskyte, later changed to Enterprise to avoid confusion), doing a distro, and booking a few small tours.
Around the fall of 2003, Josh became fairly burnt out on all of these projects and decided to take what would become a long break from Enterprise Hardcore. In fact, there was a good idea that Enterprise Hardcore would never resurface.
Over the last year, a few bands have come along that have gotten us excited about the possibility of making moves in Rochester once again. What started off as a one off show to help Heavy Hearted get off the ground has turned into the return of the enterprise. I think a lot of people have been expecting this for a while anyway, so this should come as no real suprise.
We would like to welcome Sketchy Dave to the Enterprise Hardcore family. All shows will be booked by Dave and Josh together from now on. We will be looking for other people to help us promote shows as well. If you are interested, message us with all of your background information.
We don’t plan to take over the world for a while. For now, we want to put on a lot of GOOD HARDCORE (remember what that is???) shows in Rochester. Eventutally, we will more than likely release our own clothing line as well. Stay tuned, this is only the beginning.
