URBAN WASTE 12" EP/ CD EP
A re-issue of the sole EP by one of the most sought after and enigmatic bands from the earliest days of New York hardcore. Despite the obscurity of the original release, Urban Waste was made famous through their signature style of blown-out, over the top hardcore punk replete with trademark menacing buzzsaw guitars and piercing vocals.

Urban Waste was part of the New York renaissance of hardcore punk in the early 1980's. Much more raw, visceral, and overtly confrontational than their New York punk predecessors, these boys were contemporaries to Reagan Youth (bass player Andy Apathy was an early member), the earliest incarnation of the Beastie Boys, and the Bad Brains.

 


"Public Opinion"
from the self titled EP

"If We Only Had Love"
Early Urban Waste song that was never captured on tape. This is from their November 10, 2002 reunion show at CBGB's with a reformed line-up.
