Trolling on the net the other day I decided to google my OG friend Sean Taggert. He did a gang of Old School hard core flyer’s,was an occasional drinking buddie and a all around funny mutherfucker. His flyer’s and illustrations defined a moment in time to me and I aways thought they were really funny. Trying to find the guy I tracked down his email addy so hopefully I’ll get up with him soon.
The other cat who did a lot of the flyer’s was another OG friend Kevin Crowley. Our parents were tight and later in life he was super in to hardcore punk rock all Six 3, 200 pounds of him ( A bit after me, I was a skin head for like 3 weeks than went back to being a skater duesch). Good guy/bad skin wonder what ever happened to him as well? His Abused flyer’s were more memorable than the band some might say even. Me and Kevin used to take the train home to BK together and get a lot of weird looks from the L7’s riding the iron horse but that’s the beauty of being a punk rocker in high school at least it was back then.
If you dug NYHC you’ll dig this nuff said peep the ancient Beastie Boys flyer’s in there. Wonder who did those? There so bad there genius……Young and the Useless……….You had to be there to understand I think. The Young and Useless were Adrock and Dave Skilken’s band. Skilken passed away in the early 90’s he was a motivating force in the Beastie Boys posse and a brilliant dude thinking he might have done those flyer’s. He rocked and left us way to early………NYHC shit was so fresh back then……
Kevin Crowley I believe did that one….Fucking ET I would choke that herb out to….Dam aliens
Sean Taggert’s handy work for sure…..Loved his stuff and loved the Cro-Mags….They were like a biker gang or some shit….they rolled in your town tore shit up,knocked dudes out stole ther chicks and left…..Cro-Mags tours were legendary
How craze is this? This is definitely the John Berry pre rap Beastie Boys days……..Shit is so dope….One more TR3 that shit was olllld skoool…I saw Madness there…The Dammed…….Bad Brains…..Stage was like a foot of the ground…..Place was so cool….John Bloodclot was security picture that….
Another Crowley jump off….he had a really Heavy Metal magazine style….A7 was this shitty little club on ave a and 7th street it’s now Niagra…..Saw a lot of good hardcore shows there over the years…….
Classic Sean Taggert right here….His shit was always funny to me half tongue and cheek his OG t shirts were sick he did some really dope sick of it all flyers wish I could find some…
