Supertouch started in 1985 out of the ashes of the New York hardcore band Death Before Dishonor. They had released a demo and some WNYU tapes but no actual records. When their drummer, Mike of Judge/Youth of Today fame, left the band to pursue other musical interests the rest of them forged ahead. The band got a new drummer and took the name Supertouch after a Bad Brains song. They started out with a song on Revelation Records NYC HC: The Way It Is followed up by a 7", an LP and one last song on the Anti-Matter comp. They also recorded a song for the movie "Sam" and were the subject of an unofficial documentary.
