Judge

Judge is a straight edge hardcore band out of New York, formed in the mid 1980s around Mike Ferraro and John Porcelly, and they became one of the defining acts of that era's youth crew sound. Their record "New York Crew" and the album "Bringin' It Down" carried the straight edge message into hardcore's foundation, blending tough, breakdown heavy riffs with a hard line stance that influenced generations of bands after them.

They have upcoming dates at Gothic Theatre in Colorado, a rare chance to catch a genuinely formative hardcore band still playing shows.
