Albany Style 2024 – Now Streaming Everywhere

In early 2024 @amancalledsin and @merendinosaur began brainstorming a new compilation to represent some of the current bands in the Albany Hardcore Scene. While just a sample, they felt this was an accurate representation of an exciting time in Upstate NY.

Cover Art: @mayor_mayo, taking inspiration from the Albany Style releases from 1988 and 1999.

Layout: @mathewdoesstuff – not a lot of people know it, but Matt from @sunblocband and EAAT is responsible for a lot of the layouts you see in some of your favorite records. If you’re putting together a release and are in need of his services, you should be talking to him.

Finishing Audio Touches: Each band brought a different audio file to the table. @tree_walker_audio donated his time to ensure that all of the files were of a similar quality to ensure they sounded universal when pressed/streamed. If you want to make a record, reach out to him for his engineering services.

Gatefold Photo: @christopherscesny and @christopherpaul donated their time to have some photos taken. The gatefold photo, as well as the photo on the back of the tray card for the physical release were taken by them. Contact @rocketstudios_518 for their services.

There are a lot of people in Albany who care about the hardcore scene and do their part to help it continue to thrive. Go to shows, start a band, start a zine, support the bands that call Albany home.
