Berzerkers

The history of The Berzerkers goes back to the late 80’s. These were the days before there was a real hardcore scene on Long island. There were only a few crews scattered around in different towns across the island. There weren’t any venues back then that would even have shows unless you want to count Sundance—a club that was located in Bay Shore. Most kids from the island would have to get on the train to get to the CBGB’s hardcore matinees. Back then even admitting you were from Long Island was a potential dangerous situation. Kids would risk life and limb just to travel to the city to see their favorite bands perform in a club that catered to a scene that was becoming increasingly violent.
