The one & only...NYC's original Ism.
 

You came to the right place. You've heard the stories and rumors and now you can visit the home of the group that formed in 1980 and blasted into infamy in 1982 with the New York metropolitan area's first commercially broadcasted hardcore song "John Hinckley Jr. (What Has Jodie Foster Done To You?)" off the first NYC Hardcore compilation "The Big Apple Rotten To The Core". Yes, you've tracked down the group that brought HARDCORE into everyone's living room with their 1983 shocking debut album "A Diet For the Worms" which soared to #65 on Progressive Radio's top 100! The same album which included their hit single "I Think Love You" which was released earlier in the same year & soared to the #6 single from combined radio, club and retail reports despite all major record chains banning their controversial music & album artwork!

Yes, you've read about them in Trouser Press, Circus magazine and heard lead singer Jism on the Howard Stern Show and once again you will have the opportunity to hear more about this classic punk/hardcore group that rose to fame in the early 80s. We understand that many of you have a million questions but we ask that you be patient since you've already waited this long. Stay tuned!
