Olde York from New York are touring Europe in Januari 2013, but they need help with a few more dates / locations. For more info on Olde York check out our review of their latest album here.
And don’t forget the interview we did with Olde York guitarist Blake Farber.
Here’s the message they sent us and the confirmed tour dates:
Blake Farber is a filmmaker/director from New York City. He does music videos and commercials / short films all over the world. He also plays guitar in New York Hardcore band Olde York. He had a busy few years directing videos and releasing albums with Olde York, so we figured it was time to catch up with him and see what’s what…
– When was the first time you picked up a camera and realised “this is what I wanna do for a living”?
[two_third]Blake Farber: It’s not that I’ve picked up a camera, I was born with a camera in my hand! Both my mom and dad are photographers… So it came natural to follow in their footsteps. Taking a visual thing like photography and add motion to it… On my moms side of the family they’re all musicians, my Uncle who played bass in many surf bands (including Jan and Dean, the reunited Beach Boys tours, and various other classic rock bands). … Read More
Olde York return with a new cd called “Shallow World”. Three years after their debut album “Empire State” which was released on Countdown Records.
While their style hasn’t changed much, they still essentially play old school New York Hardcore, the first thing I noticed when spinning “Shallow World” the first time was that their sound and songs have matured a lot, compared to “Empire State”. This can also be contributed to the excellent production by Mike Dijan (Breakdown, Skarhead, Crown Of Thornz, Sai Nam) and mixing / mastering by Dean Baltulonis (who has worked with everybody from Agnostic Front to Converge to Danny Diablo).
New York Hardcore outfit Olde York will release their new cd “Shallow World” on September 21st, on Dutch hardcore label WTF (responsible for releases from Human Demise, Spider Crew, All For Nothing & more).
Ted, Blake, Devon and Mike hail from hardcore’s true home, New York City.
Together they have drawn on countless influences to create a modern take on New York Hardcore.
Their debut full length album “Empire State” on Countdown Records was released in 2009 and has been received very well worldwide.
A lot of new friends were made touring Europe for this release.
Recently the band has refined their classic feel with this second full length release on WTF Records.
Produced by Mike Dijan (Breakdown, Skarhead, Crown of Thornz), this new full length release displays a wide range of sounds and feels, rooted in the classic
grit of New York.
Prepare for a new sound and a new piece of NYHC history.
