We would like to welcome 96 To the Hotfoot family. In a genre where loyalty and tradition mean everything, North Jersey’s NINETY SIX not only emulate those sentiments, but expands on them with a take on hardcore that seems to of been lost. Their music is laced with energetic, groove-laden riffs that pays homage to the way hardcore used to be done while staying original. Having already played with hardcore legends such as Sick of It All, Suicidal Tendencies and Cro-Mags, Ninety Six’s sound continues to grow and garnish praise from those who know the band best, their fans.

- (1) Sadly, 97 remains left out in the cold. (2) Impressive new song! Reminds me a lot of fellow Jerseyites, VISION, a comparison I hardly ever need to break out, but wish I could more often; (3) There are a few more demos available to check out on the band’s Bandcamp page.
