For the people that weren't all that familiar with them, by the time they were tearing through covers of Uniform Choice's 'Screaming For Change' and No For An Answer's 'Man Against Man', everyone got a healthy introduction. I remember Ignite going on and a lot of us just went nuts. There were a handful of us that were super psyched to see Ignite, this was their first east coast trip. I remember Texas Is The Reason were the opener and this was their first show. My band Mouthpiece was also playing as well as Ignite who got put on the show at the last minute. Snapcase were headlining a show at the church in Chatham, NJ. My first Floorpunch memory was from June 24th, 1995. Being in the middle of everything, I sometimes took for granted what was going on, but in retrospect, it really was a special time.īill with Floorpunch at their first show at the Bordentown VFW, Photo: Traci McMahon Reading through Brett's piece really took me back, because just like him, but from a slightly different angle, I watched that band from the very beginning to the end. The first piece I read was Brett Beach's, who's got the gatefold all his own. There was a lot to read, a nice handful of contributors who shared their memories and some cool photos dropped in the background of all the written content. Once I got out to my car I pulled out the Floorpunch record, tore off the plastic and started to dig in. This was the first time I'd seen it, so I picked it up and decided that I had to buy it. Low and behold I stumbled upon the Floorpunch discography double LP. Once I secured the Danzig album, I started sifting through their vinyl to see if anything interesting popped up. This past weekend I dropped by Vintage Vinyl to pre-order a copy of Danzig's new album 'Deth Red Sabaoth', which he'll be doing an instore for next Saturday. It took me some time to dig up the photos, get them scanned and sent over to Dave and I even mocked up a couple different pieces, but unfortunately I never ended up getting him any of my written memories.

Dave also asked if I could write down some of my thoughts and memories on Floorpunch and he was hoping to include them in the liner notes of LP.
