Absolution was a hardcore band from New York City. Formed in early 1987, Absolution was made up of a diverse group of individuals. Guitarist Gavin Van Vlack had previously played in Side by Side, although he left before they recorded their 7”. Bassist Alan Peters had played on Agnostic Front’s “Liberty and Justice For…” LP. Bronx-born vocalist Djinji Brown was the son of respected jazz alto-saxophonist Marion Brown. Drummer Greg Johnston was originally from the midwest.

Absolution began playing shows and recorded some demos at Don Fury’s studio. They immediately attracted attention with their unique sound. While nearly every other NYHC band at that time was playing “youth crew” style hardcore (ex. Youth of Today and Bold) or was adding lots of metal to their sound and going “crossover” (ex. Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front), Absolution was unique. Anchored by the strong rhythm section of Alan and Greg, Gavin had plenty of room to develop an original style of guitar playing. Adding a higher level of technicality than most hardcore bands, without being too “metal”, Gavin’s style included unusual chords and arpeggiations, adding a different twist to the usual NYHC sound. But Absolution’s most unique quality was Djinji’s voice.
