"It's louder, it's faster, it's socially aware..."
That's what Time Bomb Matt had to say about Triangle area hardcore in 1988, back when we all were young'uns.
This page, a work in progress (slow progress, at that), is a memorial to those glory days of adolescent fervor here in Dirty Durham, and is brought to you courtesy of Ernie's thorough archiving (you just wait'll we scan those old pics and fliers); Laura's insistance that we share the old-skool love with the masses (and by masses we mean all 10 or so of you old-timers); and our mutual tendency to glorify the past -- especially whilst consuming ungodly amounts of red wine.
Got any old stuff you want to put on here? Brang it!
NEW!!! VIDEO!!!
