This past Saturday, September 9th, scores of hardcore fans descended upon GameChangerWorld in Howell, New Jersey, to bid summer farewell at the annual Back to School Jam. This year's festival boasted a diverse roster of underground bands, headlined by New York wrecking crew Incendiary and supported by All Out War, Jesus Piece, Angel Du$t, Queensway, Praise, Microwave and many, many more. Photographer Angela Owens was on the scene to capture all of the brutal Back to School action — check it out below.
