RIP

It's worth noting that Berry left the Boys four years before their debut, and at the time of his departure they were still a NY hardcore punk band.

Their early stuff was admittedly never among their best works, but that hardcore punk attitude is what stuck with them and made them so special later on. Berry's also responsible for that legendary name, so there's that.
