Reviews
False Prophets Implosion LP
Produced by Giorgio Gomelsky (of YARDBIRDS fame), and “produced” it is.
Paul "H.R." Hudson from the Bad Brains, for example, once pelted Stephan Ielpi with a garbage can during a False Prophets live set.[9] On the Agnostic Front camp they were stylized as "useless left hippies".[10] Rob Kabula (Cause for Alarm) called the band "the Dead Kennedys of NYHC". New York: Bazillion Points. BARK!
204. BARK! Musically, we were part of punk-rock's second generation, which included the Undead, Heart Attack, Reagan Youth and DC transplants the Bad Brains in New York, and the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, D.O.A., and Minor Threat in the rest of the world. Port Townsend: Feral House. Spin magazine placed them at the intersection of hardcore, metal and pop and assessed the band as "too offensive to be politically correct and too politically correct to be trend junkies".[8] Spin author Charles M.
Young described the band's music as an "independent, punk-influenced synthesis of wildness, moodiness, showmanship and versatile arrangements", and the 1987 album Implosion as having a "pleasant, all-encompassing 1968 feeling ".
Ielpi and DeSalvo continued the band with new members until 1993 and released an EP before the False Prophets finally separated.[4] In 2002 the band reformed for a concert at New York's CBGB's to mark the 20th anniversary of the release of New York Thrash.[5]

This polarized the Prophets – while on the one hand their creativity and impropriety were respected, and comparisons were made to the British crustcore band Crass,[9] they were sometimes openly rejected by hardcore concert goers. “Fun” is loud, fast catchy, and highly critical or ignorance and violence; “Functional” is slower and filled with romantic bitterness.
BARK!
During its existence, the band went through many line-up changes, which made it difficult to develop a clear style.
Style and reception
The False Prophets saw themselves as a political band and were perceived as such by the media; in particular, they were said to be close to libertarianism.[8] One of the symbols of their live performances were lengthy political speeches that were sometimes not very popular with the audience.[3] Visually, the band set themselves apart from the NYHC cliché of shaved machos wearing jeans and t-shirts and showed themselves to be more punk.
