Interview with Doug Dresher

August 10, 2020

Point Blank is Old-School New York Hard Core. But, don’t think that it is a trip back in time – they are right here and in your face. There is a message of inclusion, peace, and understanding in their songs and best seen in their attitude. No bullshit here – it is all about the music and the message.

Reaching back to the early days of NYHC, scene stalwarts Dan Derella (Guitar) -founding member/guitarist from hardcore legends Underdog - and Ken KWE Wagner (Vocals), join forces with Keith Malonis (Drums), and Frank Avila (Bass) to form New York's, Point Blank. They are aggressive, they are angry, and they well may be the nicest bunch of fellas you could ask to meet.
