Yes! Here's some assorted favorites.
Refused's best known song, and a crazy life performance to go with it! The Shape Of Punk To Come has held up amazingly. This is Converge, a more metal-influenced hardcore band. They employ heavier, more dissonant, and more technical instrumentation than others of this genre, but still maintain the overall feel of hardcore. This is a new song by Gallows, who are arguably England's most successful modern punk band. It's the first to feature ex-Alexisonfire guitarist/vocalist Wade MacNeil and is a lot heavier than their previous work. F*cked Up are probably my favorite punk band of the last 10 years. They have their roots in hardcore punk, as this (their first song) shows, and have since evolved their sound into a more progressive, experimental variant of standard punk rock. This has become one of my favorite songs on the year. Trash Talk are a band that play hardcore with the attitude of traditional hardcore punk, but with the speed and aggression of more intense variants such as thrashcore. Touche Amore are one of the bands frequently cited as being part of what is unofficially called "the wave" - a group of new bands that play a very passionate, loud, and confessional form of post-hardcore. Daitro are one of my favorite post-2000's 'screamo' bands. This song shows the softer side of them, and I chose it for this reason. Hardcore can be diverse.

RYM's top Hardcore Punk releases
There are a lot of albums on here that have a whiff of Hardcore Punk but I personally wouldn't put a lot of them in that list. I understand that it is cumulative list but even so Powerviolence was a aggressive form of HP that appeared from the mid 80's and probably the best example of this is the mighty Infest: There were many U.K bands in the early 80's with the obvious candidates: who later splintered into Broken Bones: You also had the offshoot of Anarcho - Punk which (at least in the U.K) took a lot of influence from bands like Crass. The band Conflict are probably the best example: The New York Hardcore Scene and Crossover scenes are also well known not just for their intensity and reverence to the spirit of HCP but also by combining elements of other genres whilst still retaining the ethos in the mis to late 80's Although Agnostic Front were straight up HCP: Bands such as Ludichrist and Crumbsuckers were stretching the genre further: Some of the most recent bands of the last ten years have been: I have albums by all these artists if u need linkies. Big shout outs to G.B.H Void Amebix Poison Idea

...but their most famous album, The Shape Of Punk To Come, also their last, saw them flirting with lots of other influences, especially electronic music, and as such, it's hard to pin down under one genre. I've seen it called everything from post-hardcore to art punk to alternative metal. It's predominantly a hardcore punk album though, as shown in songs like these ones... The screaming vocals don't really have much to do with genre... most hardcore bands use some form screaming anyways. Edit: Sorry, I just realized that I kinda wrote that like you don't know anything about Refused haha.
