      • Urban Waste is a New York hardcore punk band from Ravenswood Queens that was part of the New York renaissance of hardcore punk in the early 1980s. Much more raw, visceral, and overtly confrontational than their New York punk predecessors, they were contemporaries of Reagan Youth (of which bass player Andy Apathy was an early member), the earliest incarnation of the Beastie Boys, and Bad Brains. They belonged to a group of bands coming out of the borough of Queens that included Kraut, Gilligan's Revenge (later called Token Entry), Murphy's Law, and The Mob. The band, like many others of the era, was short-lived, and after the breakup several members went on to form Major Conflict.


      Recordings


      Their only recorded material was an eight-song 7", which was released in 1982 on Mob Style Records, the record label of fellow hardcore band The Mob (and later as a 12" on Big City Records). The Urban Waste EP has been released by the New York City label Mad at the World Records in its series of New York hardcore reissues from the early 1980s. The EP was also reissued in digital format by the New York-based digital label Anthology Recordings.
      Roger Miret, lead vocalist for New York hardcore legends Agnostic Front, reportedly cited Urban Waste as the band that got him into hardcore, and has mentioned the group as being one of his favorites of the early NYHC scene.


      Tours


      In 2002 Urban Waste played CBGB's for a 20-year reunion, and record release party for "reissue" of the 82' E.P. This short lived fun experience ended a few months later.
      The band re-grouped again in 2008, playing infrequent shows, and released "Recycled" in 2010. This was a compilation of unreleased songs and a few new songs written in this time period.
      2012 was the strongest year for the band to date, as far as playing out, and writing new material. This is also the first time in the band's career that they have gone overseas, playing Europe in Venlo, The Netherlands on September 22, 2012.
