Youth of Today
Along with guitarist John Porcelly (aka Porcell) Cappo started the seminal hardcore band Youth of Today in 1985, which quickly became one of the most well known bands in the New York hardcore scene. Based on their Straight edge ethics and a fast, aggressive sound, they created a subgenre known as Youth crew, influencing a large number of bands. An important figure in the early days of Youth of Today was Kevin Seconds, singer of the Reno, NV band 7 Seconds. Kevin not only influenced the band, but also released their first EP, "Can't Close My Eyes" on his Positive Force Records. Before disbanding in 1990, Youth of Today released two 7" EPs (one later remixed and released as a 12") and two LPs, widely considered to be some of the most influential American hardcore records of their time.
