Borscht was a hardcore punk band from New York existing from 1982 to 1984. They started out in Rockland County opening for Finn and the Sharks and Proper Id. Next, it was on to the big city where they played at A7 and CBGB's with tons of great bands. They also played at the Anthrax club in CT and did some shows in Springfield, MA, with all those Boston bands. (Does anyone have video of this?).
