Brooke Smith was a teenager immersed in the boiling mid-80s hardcore scene of downtown Manhattan. Her intimate photographs, from '83 to '88, reveal an underground scene at it's most potent in a city's troubled era. These bands were the backdrop for Smiths adolescence : Agnostic Front, Bad Brains, The Cro Mags, Murphy's Law, Underdog, The Icemen, Armed Citizen, Urban Waste, No Thanks, The Abused, Warzone, Violence, The Young n Useless, Adrenalin OD, The Nihilistics, Rapid Deployment, The Psychos, The Misguided, The Stimulators, Sheer Terror, Ultra, Antidote, Hinkley Fan Club, Reagan Youth, Bold, Crackdown, Krieg Kropf, Supertouch, Crumbsuckers, Sick of it All, Kraut, Scab, False Prophets, Heart Attack, PMS, Gilligan's Revenge, Major Conflict, Leeway, YDL, Cause For Alarm, The Mob, Modern Clix and Token Entry. Brooke Smiths photographs tell the complex story of youth trying to find and maintain community amidst an aggressive and volatile music scene.
The opening will also celebrate the release of a 52 page, large format, limited edition catalog, with an introduction written by Gavin McInnes.
