Considered by many to be a classic compilation, documenting NYHC as it was in 1988, featuring Bold, Warzone, Gorilla Biscuits and more.

The V/A New York City Hardcore: The Way It Is full-length is considered by many to be a classic, documenting NYHC as it was in 1988. More than just a straight-edge
collection, it compiled bands from all facets of the hardcore scene including BOLD,
NAUSEA, WARZONE, GORILLA BISCUITS, TRIP 6, BREAKDOWN, YOUTH OF
TODAY, SICK OF IT ALL, KRAKDOWN, SIDE BY SIDE, YOUTH DEFENSE
LEAGUE and SUPERTOUCH. Comparable to Boston's This Is Boston Not LA or
Washington, DC's Flex Your Head, New York City Hardcore: The Way It Is helped push
New York to the forefront of the American hardcore scene.

The photo on the album cover was taken by iconic NYHC photographer BJ Papas at The
Anthrax in Norwalk CT, and feature Gorilla Biscuits performing along with members of
Warzone, Youth of Today, BOLD and other staples of the scene at that time.
