A7 (bar) A7 was a club in New York City. From 1981 to 1984, it was the unofficial headquarters of the New York hardcore scene. The tiny space was located on the southeast corner of East 7th Street and Avenue A in Manhattan's East Village. The Violators were one of the first punk bands to play there, performing once a month for over a year. Other bands that played on the Violators' night included Minor Threat, Social Distortion, SS Decontrol, the Undead and False Prophets. Many of the NYC Oi! and hardcore bands would play on the bill, including hardcore icons Bad Brains, and gradually the A7 club turned into a hardcore scene. The club was staffed by members of the NYHC scene, including Doug Holland of Kraut, Raybeez of Agnostic Front and Warzone, and Jimmy Gestapo of Murphy's Law. The club operated without a liquor license and was often raided by police. A warning spray-painted on the outside of the building read: "Out of town bands remember where you are".

Berzerkers The history of The Berzerkers goes back to the late 1980s. 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.
