URBAN STYLES NYHC- Freddy Alva Interview on Illogical Contraption

The ABC NO RIO compilation was originally intended to be 10” record chronicling the ABC scene circa ’90-’91. The name being inspired by a Sam McPheeters essay/rant lamenting the (then) lame musical climate. The bands recorded exclusive tracks for it, a full-size booklet was planned with contributions of ‘zines like: DEAR JESUS/INWARD MONITOR/RIGHT TRASH. Local photographers like Chris(tine) Boarts, Justine Demetrick submitted dozens of incredible pictures for inclusion. I had a great layout in mind, everything looked good to go & then… I dropped the ball; the project became too overwhelming. By that time I was heavily involved with the day to day operation of RECONSTRUCTION Records so the comp was pushed into the back burner until my interest in putting out records & being involved in the “scene” had dissipated.         Flash forward to now; I’ve had the master tape of the comp & tons of photos/flyers languishing in an old shoebox throughout the years & with the recent advent of putting up an old project of mine online (New Breed), I was motivated to revisit this comp & listening to these tracks, it made me realize how much they have stood the test of time, shit still rocks.  
I apologize to all the bands/zines/people that submitted material back then. I hope that this can, in some small way, help to rectify my fuck-up. As someone said, those early days at ABC weren't the best or worst of times, but they were always fun. The revival of the compilation has been a collaboration between Welly Artcore, Aston Boss Tuneage, Rich Trash, Daryl Kahan & Freddy Alva.
