FORCED (Long Island)

I caught this power trio in Copiague, Long Island with The Communion on December 14th. I was taken aback by the intensity of their set, as well as the interesting and unexpected technical Black/Doom Metal they performed tightly and with sophisticated determination. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I think I hear the distant wailing echoes of the early 90's south shore pre-screamo hardcore bands every once in awhile. These guys have something dark, heartfelt and brutal going on right under our noses here on the 100 mile sandbar.... Download the demo on Bandcamp.





What's even cooler, if you go see them New Years Day in Glen Cove, Long Island with Axis, Detriment and a whole bunch of other bands I'm too old to have heard of, you can get in with a discount if you take the train and for free if it's your first hardcore show. Talk about keeping shit real and doing it for the kids....

Recycled art

 

While on an excursion to the Smithtown Recycling Center here on Long Island, I noticed a small painting deliberately propped up on one one of the dumpsters. Though I am still awaiting confirmation, I believe there is a chance that this painting was made by my old friend, Galen Pittman - a local Huntington artist and jazz musician (we tried many times, unsuccessfully, to get him to play session drums or guitar for Biolich before we met Andrew and Dan). How it got there is anyone's guess, but it was a nice wink from the universe on 12-12-12.
