The Templars
Artist Biography by Alex Henderson
Influenced by the U.K. Oi! movement, Long Island, New York punk outfit the Templars delivered raucous anthems similar to Cock Sparrer and Reducers SF with an old-school ethos that nodded to pioneering U.K. punk bands like the Clash, Sham 69, the Sex Pistols, the Damned, and the Buzzcocks. The Templars formed in 1990 when singer/guitarist Carl Fritscher got together with drummer Phil Rigaud. At first, Fritscher and Rigaud jammed together as a duo. It wasn't until 1992 that they added their first bassist to become a trio, and started playing live gigs. That year, the Templars recorded a cassette titled Pure Brickwall Oi!, and they soon gained a reputation for being a very British-sounding American band. In 1993, the Templars caught the attention of Sonic Aggression (a small label based in New England) and recorded a rare EP titled The Poor Knights of Acre; only about 600 copies were pressed, and the EP went out of print when Sonic Aggression folded. Longtime bassist Perry Hardy joined the fold in 1994. After that, the Templars went on to record for a variety of small independent labels, including TKO, New Blood, Dim, and Vulture Rock. In 1999, the Templars recorded the full-length The Horns of Hattin for the Atlanta-based GMM Records, which also released a Templars retrospective titled Reconquista: 1994-1998. After issuing their fifth LP, Outremer, in 2005, the band went on an extended hiatus for over a decade. They returned in 2017 with Deus Vult (Pirates Press Records).

Bottom of the barrel
A classic NY band and another one of those that never really got the recognition they deserved. A band consisting of various loose ends and drinkingpartners from the backstreets of the Long island area.
They where around in the mid 90's and even if they only had one proper release (a split with Templars) they still made their mark.
The band had loose members but their singer stuck it out from the begining to the end, namely Gerrard who now sings in 45 adapters. Other members of fame was Kevin Geddes who later played in Oxblood (and met his demise last year), the Swede J.H who played bass in Agent Bulldogg also picked up the bass for this band at a couple of shows.
