*Hardcore*

[nameness]

Kraut, wasn't expecting that one.  Always thought of them more in the punk vein.  I'd say BB is DC/NYC.  So basically nothing past '86?

[riffblaster general]

for me yes.    there were other bands that i liked, but none of them had the staying power like these bands and everything that came after them seemed to borrow from them very liberally.

and its highly debateable but i would even include sonic youth in there.

^Agnostic Front (early) and Cro Mags are well chosen for NYHC, IMO. The point is, many "average" rock or metal fans think of SOIA as the typical hc band. I don't, to me the BAd Brains, Minor Threat, Adolescents, Black Flag, Middle Class, 7 Seconds, MDC (and german: Spermbirds and Inferno) and so on are "typical". SOIA come far beyond that.

Bit late picking this up, but have been enjoying The Secret's "Solve Et Coagula"

[nameness]

Thread has fallen to the third page, that's unacceptable.

One of the most underrated bands & albums of that time, in my opinion.

[Max Power]

I love this song right now. Fits perfect. Just bought tickets for their next show.

Sick of drying up in the sun
Sick of this island
Sick of fun
Sick of being sober
Sick of starting over
Sick of Black Flag
Sick of Cro-Mags.

Sick of living
Sick of people dying
Sick of the buying
Sick of trying
Sick of television
Sick of telephones
Sick of homophobes
Sick of condos.

Sick of the GOP
Sick of liberals
Sick of me
Sick of Obama
Sick of head trauma
So very tired of feeling sick.

Sick of living in America
Sick of mass hysteria
Sick of realism
Sick of Buddhism
Sick of long boards
Sick of hardcore
Sick of Baptists
Sick of atheists
Sick of police
Sick of yuppies
Sick of paying rent
Sick of being bent
Sick of hearing lies
Sick of mankind.

And tonight: Roger Miret!

[stever]

i was taken aback when i first played that album… kinda like _whoa wait what? this is what ceremony is doing now?

cool._

as much as i like the 45-second mosh fodder stuff, they're really starting to hit their stride now

[riffblaster general]

i think the new record is by far their best.  i could appreciate the other records for what they were but never found myself wanting to listen to them, but this record is honestly really interesting and i keep coming back to it.

[Max Power]

Most probably nothing special to you guys, but I was honored to shake Roger Mirets hand after the show. There were just a few people who were in the mood to move their asses, and I was one of them.

[riffblaster general]

always cool to shake roger miret's hand.

[Max Power]

Just got tickets for Off! and Fucked Up. Yehaa.

[riffblaster general]

nice!

[passthestripe]

Few friends are trying to get me to see H20 in a few months, not feeling in 2011  ::)

One great record from recent months is the Vaccuum seven on Lengua Armada, so simple yet oh so very real.

@Max:

Just got tickets for Off! and Fucked Up. Yehaa.

OFF! is awesome! ive seen then 4 or 5 times now…i think they are the best band in hardcore right now. everything they have put out so far has been perfect.

[Max Power]

^I think so, too. Of course I never saw Black Flag (especially not with Keith), but it gives me the chance to get a glimpse. Who would think that he's 55 now? I just read an interview with him and shared most of his views about the scene etc. Great guy!

Great female vocal HC from Germany http://www.myspace.com/glasseshc

[riffblaster general]

ex member of perth express?  i'm interested.

speaking of female fronted bands….check out Oathbreaker from Belgium.

[SepticSef]

…which we both missed in cologne because we watched game of thrones backstage hahaha

[riffblaster general]

woops!

[havingmysay]

one of my new favorite bands…
The Impalers, crusty punk/hc, love it. I saw them at Maryland Deathfest a month ago and they raged.
