DARKSIDE NYC

1991-1992: PRIMITIVE ORIGINS
1992-1995: OVERNIGHT SUCCESS!! HAHAHA
1995-1996: LAST LEGS . BEATING A DEAD HORSE . CALLING IT A DAY
NOV '02-JAN '03: RETURNED TO THE EVE FOR JUST ONE SHOW
2006-2007: THIRST FOR NOSTALGIA ON THE INTERNET . HARDCORE HALL OF FAME ELIGIBILITY . PLANNED A LIMITED COMEBACK TO COINCIDE WITH A PERCEIVED LIMITED INTEREST.



2008: WE DECIDED TO STICK AROUND FOR A MINUTE. WE STARTED RECORDING OVER 100 MINUTES OF NEW MATERIAL. THAT'S 2 LONG ASS FULL LENGTH ALBUMS WORTH OF SHIT. LAST SHOW WAS IN BELLEVILLE, NJ. RICH GOT RIP ROARING DRUNK AGAIN (THE CLUB EVEN HAD A BOUNCER TAILING HIM ALL NIGHT) THE DRUMMER FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND QUIT. THE REMAINING MEMBERS DECIDED TO FOCUS ON THE RECORDING INSTEAD OF TAKING OUT ADS AND AUDITIONING 3 DOZEN SHITTY DRUMMERS. OUR SHOWS WEREN'T DRAWING SHIT ANYWAY. REAL TALK. RICH GOT BEHIND THE KIT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND EVERYONE KEPT THEIR CHOPS UP UNTIL ALL THE MUSIC WAS FINISHED.
A LOT OF YOU MUTHAFUCKAZ ARE GONNA BUG OUT ON THE NEW SHIT; THAT'S GUARANTEED. OLD SCHOOL PUNK/HARDCORE MIXED WITH NYHC MIXED WITH DEATHCORE MIXED WITH CRAZY DEATH/BLACK/THRASH METAL. AND SOME SURPRISES!! HAHA
(YOU MAY NOTICE I DID NOT SAY 'METALCORE' -- IF THAT'S THE BULLSHIT YOU'RE INTO, KEEP IT MOVING. THIS 'MUSICAL TERM' DID NOT EXIST WHEN WE WERE AROUND, AND WE DO NOT ASSOCIATE OURSELVES WITH IT.)
2009-2010: RICH TOOK A BREAK FROM THE RECORDING FOR MOST OF 2009 WHILE HIS WIFE GAVE BIRTH. LYRICS STARTED GETTING WRITTEN AND VOCAL SESSIONS BEGAN TO BE SCHEDULED AT THE END OF THE YEAR, CONTINUING INTO 2010.
****** ****** ****** 2011 UPDATE ****** ****** ******
2011: VOLUME I IS FULLY MIXED. A COUPLE OF MINOR TWEAKS AND THIS WILL BE UNLEASHED. YEAH, IT TOOK A WHILE. BIG FUCKIN DEAL. WOULD YOU RATHER WE PUT OUT A WACK ALBUM EVERY 2 YEARS? (HEY-IT'S A WINNING FORMULA FOR SOME BANDS HAHAHA)
THE MATERIAL IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INCREDIBLE -- ESPECIALLY ALL THE SONGS WE MADE UP ON THE SPOT. I HATE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT, BUT I **REALLY LIKE THIS** AND NOT JUST CAUSE I'M ON IT (BUT IT DON'T HURT!) IN FACT, I’M JUST GONNA COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY THAT THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST SHIT I EVER WROTE. IF YOU CALL YOURSELF HARDCORE BUT DON’T LIKE THIS, YOU LISTEN TO ACE OF BASE AND ERASURE. SEE YA!
OPTIMISM IS SELF-DECEPTION: VOLUME I
OPTIMISM IS SELF-DECEPTION: VOLUME II
SHEEEEEEEIT, WE EVEN GOT IDEAS FOR THE 3RD ONE.
SATAN WEARS SUSPENDERS NO DOUBT
WE WILL ALSO BE DIGGING IN THE CRATES FOR BONUS MATERIAL TO INCLUDE ON THE COMPLETE DEMO DISCOGRAPHY . THAT'S ANOTHER RELEASE ENTIRELY.
