Mindforce

Mindforce from Hudson Valley, NY

Hailing from Poughkeepsie, NY, the midway point between NYC and the Capital Region, Mindforce sound like a manifestation of their geographical identity. Their excellent 2018 debut, Excalibur, is a meld of traditional NYHC (think Leeway and Madball) and the metallic weight of Albany/Troy bands like Stigmata and One King Down. Their ability to turn on a dime from thrashy gallops to stomping mosh-parts makes listening to them an endlessly exciting adventure through hardcore’s many peaks and valleys. Plus this band can fucking shred. - Kerrang!
