Warzone guitarist Jason Vento aka "Crazy Jay Skin" left hospitalized after house fire

The new year has not started off great for Jason Vento (aka Crazy Jay Skin) of the early New York hardcore band, Warzone (and more). On the 6th, a two-alarm fire broke out at Vento's home in Queens, NY. Vento was able to remove mis wife, children (including a new born), eldery mother, and multiple animals from inside the burning home. However, all of their possessions, some family pets, and home were lost to the fire.

Vento since has been hospitalized with severe burns, smoke inhalation, and carbon monoxide poisoning. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with hospital costs, temporary shelter, and other expenses; feel free to donate here.

On January 6th, 2024, a two-alarm house fire tragically destroyed the home of Jason Vento and his family in Queens, NY.

In a heroic act, Jason risked his life to save his wife, newborn baby, teenage son, and elderly mother, along with their 2 dogs and 5 cats. However, they lost everything they owned, including sentimental possessions accumulated over decades, and sadly, their 5 cats.

Jason, a revered figure in the NYHC (New York City Hardcore) scene, known for his contributions as the guitarist for Warzone and other bands, is not only a passionate musician but also a dedicated father, husband, and caretaker of his family.

The fire not only claimed their possessions but also left Jason hospitalized with severe burns, smoke inhalation, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Vento Family has been uprooted, now residing in a temporary shelter with uncertain prospects ahead. The financial burden of medical bills, housing, and the need to start anew is overwhelming. They require support to rebuild their lives from scratch, ensuring their most basic needs like food, clothing, and a secure place to live.
Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make an immense difference in helping them navigate through this challenging time.

Thank you all for your support in Jason's and his family's time of need.
