Backstage, Irving Plaza, NYC, 10:30pm – Sunday, October 5, 2008: Biohazard 20 Year Celebration Tour returned to NYC where it all began. Spawned in Brooklyn, BIOHAZARD, whose intense fusion of the aggression of hardcore, punk and thrash metal with the socio-critical commentary and authenticity of hip-hop earned the band extensive international acclaim selling millions of records worldwide.

Founding member, Evan Seinfeld (bassist, vocals) an early active supporter of Road Recovery since 2000, took advantage of being in town and hosted a one hour pre-show Master Class huddle with Road Recovery’s young people in his dressing room before the band’s festive pounding of their hometown crew!
‘Bunkering down’ in Evan Seinfeld’s dressing room with Road Recovery’s young participants
Spanning more that twenty years of music industry life experiences…Road Recovery’s youth were deeply touched by Evan Seinfeld’s invitation to hang-out and discuss openly his trials and tribulations growing up, playing music, and being forced to come to terms with his own personal demons or die. His decision to change his behavior resulted in opening the door to a twenty year journey of self-discovery. Ever searching for a balanced life, Seinfeld shared his mantra ‘dumb it down’, keep it simple and realize that all the ‘stuff’ we strive to achieve outside ourselves will never give us inner peace. The irony is by coming to terms with the trunk of our tree – the core of who we are is really hard, but muscling through the pain yields an indescribable life filled with experiences and relationships beyond our wildest dreams! Turning the tables, Evan asked each of his guests to share about their life and pointed out the power they possessed as a ‘crew’, their greatest asset, all committed to pulling for each other, helping each other get through anything.
Meghan B. shares her experiences as Evan Seinfeld listens attentively
"As a sober musician, and seasoned veteran of the road, I feel enormous gratitude that Road Recovery exists as support and resource for people like me striving to live on a spiritual path in an environment so often fueled by drugs and alcohol! Road Recovery is guiding today’s musical youth towards a path of positive living through sobriety and fellowship!"
