I was recently contacted by Dave of the now defunct NYC hardcore band Hiretsukan. Three of the four former members of the group ((Justin, Dave and Derek) are forming a new band and they're looking for a vocalist / guitarist from the NYC area. Check out the old Hiretsukan site for more information and email themess@hiretsukan.com if your interested. Hiretsukan released an EP titled "Invasive / Exotic" last year on the G7 Welcoming Committee.
