Reach NYC

Emerging from the crucible of New York City's legendary hardcore scene, Reach NYC was a relentless alt-metal force. Founded in 1996 on Long Island, the band was spearheaded by Richie Cipriano, a veteran of the iconic Sick of It All, who traded his bass for the six-string. Joined by vocalist Rene Mata, bassist Dan Martinez, drummer Dante Renzi, and guitarist Nick Cavagnaro, Reach NYC carved out a name for itself in the city's vibrant underground. They dominated infamous venues like CBGB's, sharing stages with the likes of the rising Papa Roach and System of a Down, and graced the stages of major festivals such as Vans Warped Tour.
