SHELTER & CIV with Special Guests

Formed in 1989 by Ray Cappo after the breakup of Youth of Today, Shelter gained notariety for blending hardcore punk with elements of Eastern spirituality and philosophy, particularly drawing inspiration from the teachings of the Hare Krishna movement. Cappo's conversion to the movement significantly influenced Shelter's lyrical themes and overall message with the band often incorporating spiritual and positive messages in their lyrics, promoting concepts such as vegetarianism, non-violence, and self-realization. Noteable and important releases like Perfection of Desire (1990), Attaining the  Supreme (1993), and When 20 Summers Pass (2000), the band has long been regarded as one of the most important to come out of the NY hardcore scene.

With Civ, frontman for the influential band Gorilla Biscuits, Anthony 'Civ' Civarelli brought a melodic edge to hardcore, blending punk rock energy with catchy hooks and anthemic choruses with the release of their debut album, Set Your Goals in 1995. The album showcased the band's signature sound, featuring melodic guitar riffs, and Civ's distinctive vocal delivery with  songs "Can't Wait One Minute More" and "Choices Made". With a lineup made of NYHC standouts, it's no big secret why Civ has made a lasting impressing on the hardcore scene.
