Dave Jones (drummer)

Allmusic.com states that Victim in Pain was career-defining and confirmed AF's status as leaders of the NY hardcore movement.^[1] A review of the album on allmusic states that the album "arguably remains the ultimate document of the New York hardcore scene".^[2] Dave is seen in the large gatefold photo inside the album.Dave^[3] Agnostic Front lead singer, Roger Miret, commented on the photo in a recent interview; "My favorite Agnostic Front show was at the old Rock Hotel... that was the 1st time I ever felt the feeling of our accomplishment within the scene. That show itself was the one we used a photo from in our very 1st NYHC classic release 'Victim In Pain'; It's the picture inside the gatefold. Every time I look at it my mind wanders deep into thoughts."^[4]

Dave also appears on the lesser-known album by Mental Abuse SidSludge,^[5] Streets of Filth. ^[6]
