Hardcore Punk (dance, indie, metal, albums, the roots)

Rainard Jalen · 05-01-2007, 01:22 AM

Other than indie/experimental music I've always had soft spot for hardcore punk. I am completely out of touch with it now, though. Completely. Can anybody help get me back on track? Which bands should I know about, and who are the most well renowned and regarded among fans these days? Are there any stand-out albums I should check out? And so on and so forth...

the Blood Brothers "Burn Piano Island, Burn" is a good one too.

I couldn't agree more. They aren't exactly what I think of when I think "hardcore punk" but anyone who enjoys music should listen to the Blood Brothers, and Burn Piano Island, Burn is definately their best CD.

Also, INDK were a pretty good hardcore punk band. Their only CD is "Kill Whitey!" but their are some other songs from EPs, demos, and such floating around.

I also like a lot of the newer hardcore that kids these days are splitting up into every conceivable genre (metalcore, mathcore, deathcore, etc.) but that stuff is quite a bit different than the original hardcore punk. Still good, though.

listen to the Dedication and Sex Positions, it might do the trick

can_i_say · 05-01-2007, 04:40 AM

good melodic/youth crew styled stuff

Go It Alone - The Only Blood Between Us
Ignite - Our Darkest Days
Crime In Stereo - The Troubled Stateside
Ambitions - Question

Converge - noisy hardcore with metal influences.

Jane Doe, You Fail Me, and No Heroes are all good, and I'm quite sure the older stuff is too, but I haven't heard as much of it.

Out of interest, in what sort of regard are Suicidal Tendencies generally held by hardcore fans?

crossover thrash?
