Does it live up to the hype? Only you can be The Executioner.

Looking back at spring 1983. Everyday was suburban hustle and some kind of stressful coffee rush to make a mark in a super competitive hardcore scene. One could only “Make it” in The City! With this: We gigged well for a band that had zero truck transport. Most any day would see Dave Burks and Bill Fraenza supervising the early morning plotting of just who may have a vehicle we can con into service. Many times it would have to be Bill Fraenza’s family Ford truck that would be pressed into service with lies... “Yes Mom, he has a license”. And we’d drive off... - Pretty smart thinking for a bunch of 16 year old punk rocking musical teens who only wanted to emulate The Monkees. You’ll always see us third down supporting...on a flyer. Don’t let them tell you otherwise.

Let’s go check out some 1983 shows!
