Right before I left for Japan, Jon Dennison (Unholy, The Promise, Another Victim, etc) sent me a package with various laminates from tours he had done as well as this weekend guide to Syracuse's first weekend festival. The fest was organized by Keith (In Hell of Hellfest) Allen and Ryan (Hanging Like A Hex) Canavan and took place over 3 days in June of 1997. The lineup...pretty much any fan of 90s hardcore dream. Snapcase, Ten Yard Fight, Culture, Coalesce, Despair, Indecision, Hatebreed, Day Of Suffering, Another Victim, Ascension...unreal. On the schedule, on Sunday, is a special guest that is unlisted. Im assuming its Framework, the Brown Stars, or Human Shield. If anyone knows, leave a comment and Ill update it. The guide also gives descriptions of the bands written by the organizers and most are pretty funny. The organizers also wrote about their feelings regarding hardcore and its a pretty cool read. Ive got more stuff to scan but for now, enjoy.
