Ism NYC -1980. The band was created as a concept by lead man Jism and manager/producer Bob Sallese. The first single was recorded in the same year with Jism and an early line-up of the band. The 45, "Attack" b/w Queen J.A.P." was released on their S.I.N. Records label. It wasn't until late '81 & early '82 that it began to get commercial airplay and reviews but was banned shortly thereafter despite positive audience response. Management at several radio stations determined "Queen J.A.P." to be offensive.
Ism broke into full fledged commercial airplay in 1982 with "John Hinckley Jr. (What has Jodie Foster Done To You?)" & "Moon The Moonies" which was released by Sallese & Jism on "The Big Apple Rotten To The Core" compilation on S.I.N Records. "John Hinckley Jr" became the first hardcore song to get commercial airplay in the NY metropolitan area and was nominated for WLIR's "Screamer of the Week" award for two weeks straight. The popularity of "The Big Apple" compilation prompted WLIR's Ben Manilla to do a weekly hour long punk & hardcore show which was the first of it's kind to be broadcast commercially in New York.
After a few initial changes in the line-up, the band became established as Jism, lead singer & keyboards, Mark Reres, guitars, Steve Scianablo, bass and Larry Ray, drums...all from Queens, NYC.
