- By Maxime Cherrier

HardLore proudly present the first part of our three-part series shot in a single day all about New York Hardcore, all three of which feature special guest co-host: King Nine vocalist Dan Seely.

Part one features Mike Dijan, an absolutely all-time great hardcore guitar player and song writer. We visited his hometown neighborhood in Astoria Queens and learned the origin of how hardcore music made it's way to their neighborhood., Leeway's impact on him personally, and how he went from fan to landmark hardcore musician. We also received a special surprise visit by Jojo from Outburst, who shares his story of growing up and discovering hardcore in Astoria.
