Also many people in NJ are heavily dedicated to keeping things going, most broken up bands have members going on to form other bands and keeping things alive. As of right now the bands keeping things real in NJ are:
Anguish

Bayonet

Black Kites

Back And Forth

Bottom Line

Disobey

Fallback

Filthy Habits

Flesh Temple

Hammerhead

Jerk City

Outlast

Reptar!

Rip it Up
Suburban Scum

Torchbearer

Troublemaker

The Wanderers
Worlds


But there are people behind the bands too. Pat Gerity has been keeping it real since he did the now defunct Try Dying Records (Mongoloids/Years Spent Cold) in 2004 and now has Ride The Fury Records. Pat has been keeping things tight in New Brunswick and central Jersey with support from almost everyone in New Jersey. RTF has been the nucleus of NJHC. Most of the bands mentioned are on RTF Records.

Also down in south Jersey Big B and Ian Adams have been booking sweet bands coming in, along with A.V and Joe Allaco and all the dudes doing basement shows in central/northern Jersey.
Plenty of other people in New Jersey have been doing their thing, I just don't know enough go into details but I hope this helped you get an idea about New Brunswick to the shore.
