Hardcore

[Sonnenritter]

Coming into this thread, I'm sure the majority of people are expecting Hatebreed, Unearth, Terror, and whatnot. No. Piss off with that jive. I'm leaning more towards Swedish hardcore. Some examples... Skitsystem, Anti-Cimex, Wolfpack/Wolfbrigade, Moment Maniacs, Disfear, Genocide SS, etc. D-beat driven hardcore assaults! Any takers?

The only Swedish hardcore band I know is Refused. The Shape of Punk to Come is an awesome album.

^ I have have that album and it is left winged bullshit, it hardly qualifies as music.

 

[Sonnenritter]

So, by your example a band's political direction dictates whether it's music or not. Good job. Anyway... Refused isn't exactly what I would call hardcore. I'll find some myspace pages of some good examples.

Would you prefer right winged? Fuck man, most music with any sort of political message is left-leaning. And how does that stop it from qualifying as music?

Yeah I see what style you mean, I'm not a huge fan of it though. It's more what I'd think of as hardcore punk, as opposed to straight up hardcore.

would suicidal tendencies be considered hardcore?

In a nutshell: 1st album was hardcore punk, then they became thrash metal, with a move toward funk metal later on....

 

[Hatebreeder]

I don't like hardcore enough to look into foreign scenes.

 

[messakin]

the first suicidal tendencies album was the shit. but i got stuck with the shitty reissue.

 

[IWP]

Not my cup o' tea.

I hate when people make comments like this and don't come back to explain or back up their comment.

Still Cyco After All These Years?

Ugh. I wonder if I still have that. I should lose it.

 

[KMADD]

disfear is the shit

 

[TylerTheNuke]

Yeah, I have the refused album too. I still don't like hardcore. It must be an aquired taste.

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

The swedish stuff is okay but I really dont listen to hardcore, if I was gonna listen to it I would pick Minor Threat or Black Flag.

 

[KMADD]

Biohazard the first 2 cds skip the rest.
Sick Of It All
Murphys Law
Gang Green
Agnostic Front
Burn It Down

 

[Hatebreeder]

Fuck, I hate Agnostic Front. Their vocalist makes me want to tear my eardrums out.

I limit myself on hardcore, usually sticking with the more obvious ones like Black Flag, Minor Threat, Adolescents, Descendents (if you consider their earlier material hardcore), Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Kennedys and The Misfits, as well as a few post-hardcore/art rock bands like At The Drive-In, Fugazi, and Rites of Spring.

 

[LORDEJAILBAIT]

I like old AFI. Not sure if that's considered hardcore though.

And Minor Threat, but I'm not sXe.

I prefer right-wing music, but I also listen to a lot of the aformentioned bands like Anti-Cimex and Wolfpack, which are left-leaning crust punk. same goes with most of the grindcore I listen to.
