We're not in this alone.

This week Archive Diver, Crossfade edition, presents the concert calendar from the June 15 - 21, 1988 edition of the Miami New Times.

Most importantly note Youth Of Today at the Cameo Theatre with Raging Pus-Bags, FWA and Second Generation. Youth Of Today are one of the greatest hardcore punk bands ever to have played. They're pretty much from Connecticut, but they were considered a New York band. They were maybe the first hardcore band to fuck with food politics, even having made videos detailing agro business injustices like inhumane farmhouse tactics to kill stuff like animals with.
