Something that I haven't heard already would be really nice, too.

after looking over your last.fm page....i came up with these ten suggestions (with examples!)

SS Decontrol - early 80's Boston hardcore
YouTube - SS Decontrol - "Get It Away" Taang! Records
Artificial Peace - early 80s DC hardcore....they released quite a bit considering they were only together for one year
YouTube - artificial peace 3 *at 5:01 'The Future-Think For Yourself...best tracks
Christ On A Crutch - late 80's early 90's hardcore from DC/Seattle
YouTube - Christ On A Crutch : 'Nation of Sheep' / 'Sleep Of Reason'
Authorities - completely ignored hardcore form the late 70's via Stockton California...
YouTube - Authorities- Acthung
Dr. Know - early 80's Nardcore from Oxnard CA...NOFX owes EVERYTHING to these guys
YouTube - Dr. Know - These pressures
Youth Of Today - mid to late 80's NYC hardcore (via Connecticut)....discovered by Kevin Seconds of 7 Seconds fame
YouTube - Youth Of Today - Stabbed In The Back
Shelter - 90's hardcore or Krishnacore....basically members of Youth Of Today after becoming Krishna devotees...it seems that EVERY hardcore band from the east coast during the 90's at some point was a member of this band
YouTube - Shelter - Revealed in reflection
Negative Approach - early 80's hardcore form Detroit....very underrated band
YouTube - Negative Approach - Nothing
Battalion Of Saints - early 80's from San Diego...
YouTube - Battalion of saints - No more lies
VOID - Maryland hardcore from the early 80's....possibly the greatest bands ever on Dischord Records
YouTube - VOID - Condensed Flesh *4:50 'Get Out Of My Way"
