The most obviously likeminded film would be the recent American Hardcore, released last year by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and based on the revered book of the same title by Steven Blush. As obviously influential as were the 1980's, notably for those who performed and/or attended shows during that era, the impact of the 1990's hardcore scene, notably the one(s) that existed spread around the 5 boroughs, can be and often is much more easily forgotten or undervalued. The excellent N.Y.H.C. Documentary does its part to prevent the aformentioned hotbed from being forgotten, and does so with class and impressive persistence, particularly in the realm of following up on interviews done during the mid-1990s wiith a smart "Where Are They Now?" feature on Disc 2 of the 2 DVD set. Victory Records' late-1990's VHS documentary Release, which took a broader look at the mid-late 1990's hardcore scenes across the U.S., can be considered an acceptable point of reference, but ultimately, there is nothing quite as coherent, linear, and unpretentious on the market as Halo 8's N.Y.H.C. Documentary when it comes to discussing the often-misunderstood New York hardcore scene of the 1990's. This 2 DVD set comes highly recommended for people who have lived the hardcore lifestyle at one point or other in their lives. Crucial.
