In 1992, a combination of a negative reception to Happy Hour and general problems of violence in the New York hardcore scene resulted in the band taking a hiatus. Joey I, roadie and author of the biography on the band’s official website, explained, “…the Hardcore scene itself was changing – becoming more violent and the music becoming secondary to the socializing and posing, they decided to call it quits”. The band members joined or formed other bands; Porcaro and McLoughlin started the Rope-A-Dope record label, while Gopian joined the hip-hop group Justice System. Drago became a police officer in White Plains, New York , and Comunale became involved in the financial sector.
