Probably the first hardcore LP out of Albany featuring vocalist Steve Reddy who went on to start Equal Vision Records, Wolfpack (eventually New York Wolfpack) was pretty standard NYHC by way of the capital city. While historically important, this didn't really do much for me for a while but the more I hear it the more I dig it now. As far as I know this is their only recorded output, but start to finish a pretty solid record overall.
It sounds like the vocalists were on a revolving door for a while, including Don Sullivan from other classic Albany hardcore band Fit For Abuse. Definitely a lot of influence from other American hardcore of the time, particularly DYS which is where you can assume they got the name from. In the video above they're opening for Jerry's Kids at 288 Lark which must have been a killer show at an already legendary defunct local club. There are still pristine copies of this record in circulation if you know where to look!
