Editor's note

Warzone's New York hardcore punk, 1981 to 1991.

A New York hardcore band whose raw songs about the streets still echo in punk circles.

For the full picture, listen to 'The Real Enemy' and 'Under 18'. They frame that sound pretty well.

Warzone mattered because they took the energy of early punk and aimed it straight at city life. Songs like 'Murdertown' and 'United Worldwide' had that aggressive, confrontational style that felt real. Their music still gets referenced for its unpolished intensity and direct lyrics.

They formed in New York City in 1981 with Raybeez on bass. By 1984, Raybeez was singing, and they put out albums like 'Warzone' in 1988 and 'Don't Forget the Struggle, Don't Forget the Streets' in 1991. The band broke up in 1991 but came back for a few shows in the early 2000s.
