Teenage fave, british new wave pop godsMan, this band was the band that REALLY got me into music when I got this for Xmas back in 1980. I became obssessed with them. But what's even better is the previous "Dirk Wears White Sox" LP, before they went stratospheric. Their third LP ("Prince Charming") was such a let down.
I'm no fan of metalcore either, or metal, full-stop (or 'period' to our US friends). Crossover was one of the worst things to happen to hardcore.As for me, I'm more of a hardcore guy rather than garage punk, though some gp is great.
Love early US hardcore, don't get newish popular "hardcore" bands like Terror, Dillinger Espace Plan, Hatebreed etc. its just terrible metalcore to me, but old stuff by Urban Waste, Poison Idea, DRI, Septic Death, Jerry's Kids and Negative Approach is right up my alley ... my three fave US punkbands are probably Crime, Pagans and ANTiSEEN.
Wasn't actually a dig at you, more a humourous observation about how practically everything you post is black/death/thrash metal, grindcore, whatever. No offence intended. As for me, I'm more of a hardcore guy rather than garage punk, though some gp is great.Dizbuster dude seems to be on a one-man mission to keep this forum up and running! Metal shite mostly, though.Yeah, wish I had the brassballs to listen to sissyfied conformist collegerock disquised as hip edgy garagepunk like you, but I don't so I listen to shite metal instead

Psychedelic death metal? It works! Acid Witch meets Mammoth Grinder?
his whole new wave perry como schtick ever since has been nothing short of nauseating.
New Wave Perry Como! Ha Ha!
Not small town really but has this been mentioned? I cannot get the vid player to work....Wasn't bad at all, but all these docos are pretty much by-the-numbers now: everything was cool and new then boredom sets in cos everyone is playing fast'n'hard and there's too many rules. Everybody leaves the scene to do other shit then slags off anyone who's into hardcore now and tells them it's old hat. Nice to see Felix Havoc have his say in it, though.
Seven episodes!

The Minnesota scene was a close-knit community of artists and fans that encouraged culture and spawned huge talents like Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Rifle Sport and more. Minnesota Hardcore is made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the citizens of Minnesota.
I regret not seeing Los Crudos when they played in like 1998.Saw them twice in the space of a couple of days back in 1996. Awesome live band, though Martin does go on a bit between songs. Killed the intensity to a degree. They stayed at our house after their gig in Glasgow and I ended up trading a record or two with Martin and Ebro. Cool dudes.
Downloaded the record. Getting a bit fed up with this trend for totally blownout/rehearsal room-quality recordings. It might be all "authentic" and shit, but it's lessening the impact of the recordings if you have to strain to make out the tunes. This record would be SO much better with a more "traditional" recording. Having said that, I'll probably still buy the vinyl if I have the chance, 'cos (from what I can make out) it's a ripper.Liked the demo. Gotta get this record.New VIOLENT CHRISTIANS

Loving this. Great sound and great over the top drumming.
I wonder if Born Against is one of those bands you had to "have been there for" at the time, seeing them on tour or buying the records when they came out ? They seem to be universally praised by nineties heads as the best band of the era, and I've read/heard so many stories of their antics, how they were in direct opposition to so much of the ethos of the time--but as someone who wasn't around then (I was born in '93) and who never had the chance to see them I've tried on several occasions in the past decade to listen to their records and have just never been able to find the appeal.What were these antics you talk of? Genuinely can't remember hearing of anything untoward at the time.
That being said I think Life's Blood is ill.
I have to second the guy who said Born Against. Phenomenal fucking band. Not that I was aware of them in the 90’s. But great band.Saw them when they played Glasgow back in 91 or so. They were tremendous. One of the bands that supported them (Downfall from Nottingham, went on to be Bob Tilton who had a bit of traction for a while) was like Born Against Jr with all the rolling about the floor histrionics. Was kind of embarrassing.
In the 90’s there were a few kids who claimed to be hardcore, but actually really didn’t have a clue. They listened to junk like Korn, Tool, and Pantera. They also had a hoodie wearing phase where they stumbled across some bands like Hatebreed and Integrity. Seems like a lot of what passed for hardcore in those days was really just metal.For a while hardcore was the trendy thing to claim to like. Like you said though, quite a few of those bands like Hatebreed, Integrity, Earth Crisis et al, were pretty much straight-up metal with shorter hair. Hated all that shit. Very few bands with any kind of metal influence were any good.
