ATTITUDE- the ill faced method demograb it here...
RED RANGER - vocals
DAN K - guitar
MIKE X - drums
TOMCORE - bass
Before the US tours and larger label records, ATTITUDE started out as a reaction to the style of hardcore that Syracuse was producing. It was almost everyones (except Ranger) first band, and we just wanted to play fast traditional hardcore with a little mosh. None of the bands out at that time in Syracuse really did anything for us so we figured we should just do it ourselves. Although not very good, we were really pumped on it at the time and we accomplished what we set out to do. If anyone has a copy with the speech at the beginning hit me up!

Formed in 2004 I think, its a bit hazy back then. Chuck, Travis, and Tony had been jamming out some songs for a while with the intention of Chuck playing bass and someone else singing. Whoever that was fell through so the duties fell to Charles. They were then in need of a bassist, which is where I come in. Chuck played me the songs in my car one night outside of the infamous Cosmo's diner, and I instantly fell in love. I was in a band that gave me basically no creative outlet and loved the different sound, kind of mix between old DC and NYHC, real raw sounding with a harder edge. With me filling in the line-up, we quickly finished up a good set of songs. We recorded for free in Ogdensburg, NY at Ed the Dill's house, which may be Travis's cousin, I can't remember. Holy rough, we weren't able to punch in and with me barely knowing the songs I didn't help write, it definitely took some time. Chuck also was feeling sick that day and I remember his voice going fairly quick due to the lack of punch ins. We play our first of maybe 4 tops shows at the first ever New Blood Fest at the WCC. The only things I can remember are Travis being ignorantly loud and Charles wearing a flannel shirt looking hard and reminding me of Mike Judge. Mike Delaney has this set of video tape so you know no one will ever see it. I think maybe 6 to 8 months after this we called it a day. Travis, Tony and I went on to start My Way, and Charles continued to be the voice box of locals Black SS, AWOL, Black Mast, and We the People.

Wow, that's some shit!
Ed is not my cousin, he's just a gearhead I know. I traded a broken ass SG for that demo recording.
I forgot how loud was at that show, seemed like a good idea at the time.
Untitled WMA tracks with no artwork? That's amateur shit, nigga.
In case any Japanese and Italian kids who worship Syracuse HC are reading this and keeping score, AWOL had ceased to exist by the time of Prisoner. In fact, Prisoner formed due to the dissolution of the Funeral, when I moved to CA, which also spelled the end for AWOL.
Anyway, Prisoner were rad and I wish I had seen them. Good demo.
Hey shout out to Mike "Tommyrot" Delaney. I haven't seen or heard from this guy in many a year. If anyone knows how to get in touch with him, tell him Matt Hardcore wants to catch up.
