about
Hardcore band De La Hoya formed in the summer of 1997, when guitar player Oscar Rodriguez asked singer Aaron Scott to start a band just 10 minutes after meeting. They recruited bassist Carly Guarino (owner of Crap Records) and drummer Jaime Villamarin (ex-Ifarm) to form De La Hoya in the heart of New York City. Their debut release was a raw but riveting 6-song EP titled "Has No Credibility." Following a Summer 2000 national tour that featured new bassist Chad Kurland (ex-Bugout), De La Hoya and Red Leader Records (Strike Anywhere, Saturday Supercade) released "DANCE! Techno Mega-Mix Vol. 42," a concise sonic assault and lyrical challenge to the mind. The thoughtful wit and the lightning riffs of the DANCE! record (captured on tape by NYCHC legend Don Fury) proved what De La Hoya fans already knew; radical politics are easily danced to, if given the right soundtrack. De La Hoya spent the bulk of 2001 playing shows and enduring rhythm section line-up changes: drummers Gunnar Olsen (The Exit), Emmett Menke (ex-Spark Lights the Friction) and Brian Buccellato (ex-El Secondhand), and bassists Al Fair (Nakatomi Plaza), Anthony Amaral (ex-Temperance, What Feeds the Fire) and Jake Stults (Dreams Forever Drowning). De La Hoya's difficulty in maintaining its lineup would lead to the band's demise at the end of that year. Their final release was "Wipe the Slate Clean...Now Let's Begin," is a four-song masterpiece that was the band's finest musical moment. Recorded by good friend Buccel
