NYHC in da house...Our band opened up for AF in Jersey back in '93, we did a couple of shows with Madball back in '95...Old Skool baby!


Hells yeah man! My older brother was actually way into the DC Hardcore scene in the mid to late 80s to early 90s...in fact some pics he took were the back covers for some 7-inches back in the day...but yeah, all the DC-Dischord and NYHC stuff was all he'd listen to...I was mainly into just metal back then, but I knew good music when I heard it, and still enjoy those bands today. I saw AF a couple years ago play some mini golf/arcade place here in the sticks of Virginia...

Yeah when our band broke up, my best friend, the guitar player toured Europe and Japan - he joined Krutch - they open for 25 Ta Life, Biohazard, and ended the tour in France opening up for Slayer. That was an awesome show. He knew Bio from back in the day, they all grew up in Brooklyn. I'm a Chelsea guy - midtown Manhattan.

I don't even know what hardcore is today. Its so blurred together with metalcore that a difference can barely be distinguished (there are a few exceptions of course)

If I were to say my favorite metalcore band, it would probably be As I Lay Dying, and they are far more metal than hardcore (and they are a Christian band too)

For hardcore, I am gonna go with the classics and say either Minor Threat or the Bad Brains

A lot of the bands that are getting posted fall more into the nu-metal or screamo catergoires. Hardcore for me were bands like, Deftones, Korn, Fear Factory, Stuck Mojo, Obey Bizzare, Pissing Razors, Soulfly, Selputra... I know some of you might disagree, but when I was a teen, growing up this is what was considered hardcore metal \m/

I'll second the Carpenters.

its such a pity that no bands have competed within this genre since the 80's

Who's got the 10-1/2? Is probably one of the best live albums ever.

Hard core does not necessarily indicate death metal in this mind, but rather sincere dedication to artists' chosen genre.

With that concept firmly in mind, no doubt:

The Ventures, for instrumental electric guitar-driven melodic pop music.

Sahron Isbin, for multi-subject classical-technique articulate guitar.

The Kingston Trio, for harmonic folk-pop settting the bar for all others to follow.

The Aqua Velvets, for modern electric surf.

Johnny Smith, for chordal-melody jazz.

To me honestly, I don't see where people get the idea that hardcore = death metal, or even metal at all. It's a heavy form of punk, often with Straight Edge or hardline ideals. Of course hardcore definitely influenced thrash, which in turn influenced genres such as death metal and black metal, but hardcore remains a punk genre still. A newer genre is Metalcore, which basically blends hardcore and metal, and yields both bands that sound very metal, and bands that sound pretty hardcore. Most modern bands that refer to themselves as hardcore probably fall into this genre, because if you compare them to bands that defined hardcore (Bad Brains, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, Minor Threat) they sound nothing alike

+1 on that. For those who aren't familiar with hardcore, I suggest checking out American Hardcore which is currently playing in regular rotation on one of the major cable movie channels...
