Favorite harcore punk bands

[forumrider9753]

Personally, i go fo The casualties, The unseen and Anti-Flag

[phillyboy]

i think this is already a thread. so... who's going to see the gorilla biscuits on this tour?

[kelly]

me me me!
(PS - forumrider, how about listing actual hardcore bands as favorites)

[forumrider9753]

How about going to hell, i didnt say 'hardcore' bands, i said 'hardcore punk' bands. This thread is different, this is talking about 'hardcore punk' not all punk which include seperate subthemes, gosh.

[X-treme.:.RTST]

HateBreed rocks!!

[e.]

me me me!
(PS - forumrider, how about listing actual hardcore bands as favorites)

you still got them two tickets?

[phillyboy]

How about going to hell,
touchy are we? sorry man, i'm not really up to date on the little nuances kids have these days with their 25,000 sub-subgenres of music. i'm sorry i offended you so very much as to tell me to go to hell.

[undeadkiller]

damn this is an angry thread. the bands listed so far aren't hardcore punk rock either. hardcore punk is stuff like iron cross, poison idea, and stuff of the like. GB is just hardcore. **** like norma jean is NOT hardcore. i like DC hardcore and LA hardcore from the 80's mostly.

however, when it comes to this whole "hardcore punk rock" vein, based upon what i listen to that is called hardcore by some and punk rock by others, i think i am gonna list.... his hero is gone.... uhhh, dunno i am not sure exactly what you are asking for here.

whatever.

[ADRsk8boarder]

anti-flag and billy talent

[undeadkiller]

anti-flag and billy talent

he said punk bands. not to mention the word 'hardcore' was used.

[ADRsk8boarder]

those r hardocre

[kelly]

you still got them two tickets?
yeah, why, you wanna go?

[ADRsk8boarder]

Go and tell a nigga no, wit a ass so fat
Hey why you wanna go and do that lil momma
------ ti

[undeadkiller]

those r hardocre

first off, you must mean hardcore*

second off, nope.

[ADRsk8boarder]

oohh my bad meriam webster ok give me some hardcore punk bands

[undeadkiller]

well 'hardcore punk' is a very broad term. that could mean anything from melodic portland sound hardcore like HHIG or tragedy to norwegian crusty hardcore like skitsystem and riistetyt; and everything in between. so if you could be more specific i could turn you onto some radical bands.

[kelly]

touchy are we? sorry man, i'm not really up to date on the little nuances kids have these days with their 25,000 sub-subgenres of music. i'm sorry i offended you so very much as to tell me to go to hell.

Oh, I thought he was telling ME to go to hell, since I questioned his making up of a new genre called hardcore punk which is not hardcore and not punk... despite the fact that anti flag and the unseen are widely considered punk. hmmmmm.

[kelly]

Go and tell a nigga no, wit a ass so fat

er... sorry, if you note my edit, I meant to quote e. on that.

[undeadkiller]

kelly seems to know her stuff, atleast

[forumrider9753]

ha ha you joking me, how can you say billt tallent and Ant-Flag aren't punk? Are you kidding me buddy????

[ADRsk8boarder]

ha ha you joking me, how can you say billt tallent and Ant-Flag aren't punk? Are you kidding me buddy????

haha thank you billy talent 2 comes out tomrow

[undeadkiller]

ha ha you joking me, how can you say billt tallent and Ant-Flag aren't punk? Are you kidding me buddy????

uhhh, is that satire?

oh my you are serious....

there was a point, years back, when i thought anti-flag was a cool punk band; and it is true that anti-flag did assist me in finding better music. however, anti-flag is stale, plain, and extremely cliche. it has been done millions of times, and the views this band holds (despite how much you want justin sane to suck your ****) seem like they have been hatched by a retard. they hold a following of brainless dorks who seem to get off to the thought of going to a political rally and 'protesting.' they believe everything this band tells them and close their minds off to everything else. i am rambling on now, but you get the point. anti-flag is ****, whether you want to call them 'punk' or not. who the **** knows what 'punk' is these days anyway...

i will assume based on the pseudo-indie sideswipe haircuts of the guys in billy talent that they also suck balls. well i just had a listen, my presumptions were correct.

[ADRsk8boarder]

hate on indie,,, u must be a republican, bright eyes kicks ass

[undeadkiller]

do you know what the word 'pseudo' means? holy ****. of course anti-flag tells you to hate all republicans. i wouldn't care, i am not a republican; but the only reason you do is because anti-flag tells you to. weak. i was in no way hating on indie, BTW. you just don't know what the word pseudo means.

[forumrider9753]

Anti-flad is pretty much the origional Anti-establishment band that actually made a good point and juste wasnt a bunch of sh!t rambilings. How can you say its been done too man times. So are you calling me a brainlees dork and a retard? I happen to lovw Justin, He's the man for sure, He popped the collar before it was a cool preppy thing to do......it escense he started a global trend.

[forumrider9753]

P.S. Rebublicans suck.

sorry man i read unlike republicans, i make my own decesions and listen to music that express my thoughts, not the other way around... pseudo= false

[forumrider9753]

is that a joke? anti-flag came very very late on the 'i hate the government' bandwagon. it has been done by so many bands so many times. furthermore, what is this **** about popping the collar? do you do that because he does it? i AM calling you a brainless dork, and your obvious lack of effort on keeping good grammar just reassures my assumptions.

[undeadkiller]

sorry man i read unlike republicans, i make my own decesions and listen to music that express my thoughts, not the other way around... pseudo= false

did you have a politcal opinion at all before you listened to anti-flag? i listen to very leftist music, however, i make my own descisions going case by case. you will find that adhering to one political philosophy... just doesn't work; despite how much anti-flag says it does.

[forumrider9753]

You guys are such haters.

[kelly]

Ok... while not the first punk band with a political message, anti-flag has been around since the late 80's, and has been very influential in the political punk movement - due partly to their catchy/ somewhat poppy music. Additionally, rather than taking a brainless anarchist stance, the band has pushed a specific political agenda that is very well thought out. The whole underground action alliance thing might be on the extreme left, but that's where you'll find a lot of people who are involved in this music (including myself). Adhering to one political philosophy works fine. What do you do, change your mind every other day? You can't go case by case with politics - you have an opinion about what is right and what is wrong, and you stand by it. People who claim to adhere to more than one are either stupid or just confused (people who say they're fiscally conservative but socially liberal? what?).

Additionally, Punk is a style of music, with a specific sound and tendency towards revolutionary left wing politics. The politcs are part of the culture of punk music, so a band which openly embraces this and uses their popularity to push these politics is fine. You cannot remove a band from a genre because you find it cliche.

[undeadkiller]

good point, i am only pissed because it is working... all of their fans take the **** they say without a second thought. punk is abstract anyway; if you want anti-flag to be punk then that is ok. i just don't know what all these other bands would be called then, cause they sure as hell don't fit in with anti-flag. i don't change my mind all of the time... i am mostly libertarian. i am extremely flexible though and i think that constantly following the same basis of political thought just doesn't work.

[kelly]

uh... no.. punk isn't really abstract... any more than R&B or hip hop is abstract.... it's a genre of music.... I don't know what bands you're talking about that don't fit in with anti-flag... or what you even mean by that.

you are likely following a constant basis of political thought even if you don't think you are. you have ideals and values and these are informing what you think... if you are really changing your ideas that much about politics, it is likely not because you're somehow superior to people who have set ideas (as you have implied), but because you're young, still learning, and don't know yourself yet (even if you think you do).

[undeadkiller]

i mean the definition of punk is abstract, who knows what is and isn't. what i meant was that the bands i call punk are not in the same genre of anti-flag, and if anti-flag is punk, then what are the bands i listen to?

and like i said, i am mostly libertarian, however, submitting to the ideas of your party in every situation is just stupid. GET IT?

[ADRsk8boarder]

undead.... i picked up my first anti-flag cd "for blood and empire" just a few months earlier.... i read new yorker and econimist and am informed and make my decisions off that, go to politcal forum and see.... please dont talk out ur ass it makes u look like a complete douche

[I<3Snowboarding]

I met the Casualties! They're nice...

you saying you make your own descisions doesn't change a thing.

[ADRsk8boarder]

ur accusing me that my music makes descions for me.... im lost u gonna be a bitch and change ur story now?

[undeadkiller]

my story hasn't changed at all. anti-flag still sucks and i am confident that you saying you had an opinion before they told you to doesn't mean ****. lolrepublicanzzsuxxorz.

[ADRsk8boarder]

no u are changing your story "all of their fans take the **** they say without a second thought" so dont try to back peddle now bitch

[phillyboy]

you guys are dumb. anti-flag is rock n roll.

[kelly]

I heard Gorilla Biscuits are rock and roll too.

[forumrider9753]

No no, Anti-flag is Punk Rock, a sub genre of 'rock n roll' i suppose but they sure as hell arent 'rock n roll' like the rolling stones or Elvis.

[ADRsk8boarder]

rock and roll contains all types of rock style music buddy:::: classic, metal, punk, metalcore, heavy metal, and even emo the list goes on and on

[forumrider9753]

I agree with you 100%......thats what i said

[phillyboy]

ok well surely youth of today is rock n roll.

[t.hitch]

umm i like chiodos and norma jean and underoath and the chariot they are hardcore punk bands i dont care what any of yall say they is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[undeadkiller]

no u are changing your story "all of their fans take the **** they say without a second thought" so dont try to back peddle now bitch

are you retarded? i still think that their fans are like blank slates that will take anything the band says as true. my opinion hasn't wavered.... that is why i have been saying "you saying you had an opinion first doesn't change anything"... dumb****.

[freestylefrenzy]

the warriors and anti-flag

[ADRsk8boarder]

are you retarded? i still think that their fans are like blank slates that will take anything the band says as true. my opinion hasn't wavered.... that is why i have been saying "you saying you had an opinion first doesn't change anything"... dumb****.

dumbass ur making me laugh u sad that im only a lefty cause that is what antiflag told me to be , yet im telling me that i make my descions on my own and ur saying that had nothing to do with it.... haha i cant beleive wut a douche u are and that u havent been disowned by ur family yet

[forumrider9753]

umm i like chiodos and norma jean and underoath and the chariot they are hardcore punk bands i dont care what any of yall say they is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are hardcore bands.

[ADRsk8boarder]

underoath, norma jean, and the chariot = arent they like hardcore christian rock?

[phillyboy]

on kind of a side note: is everything on solid state christian? or are they just predominantly christian?

[t.hitch]

yeah solid stae is all christian

[t.hitch]

underoath, norma jean, and the chariot = arent they like hardcore christian rock? yeah they are but they're still really good

[phillyboy]

so do the bands sing about christianity or do the band members just have to be all christian? cause i know norma jean and demon hunter and underoath and all them sing about other stuff, i haven't heard any songs by them that i would deem christian, unless i just missed it. i mean living sacrifice is blatantly about God.

[ADRsk8boarder]

its in the lyrics they sing bout relgious stuff some times

[codymcg]

Norma Jean and the Chariot are Christian. If that stuff interests you check out Mortal Treason. If any of you BMX its Seth Kimbroughs band. BTW All of the aforementioned bands are metalcore...not hardcore. Hardcore=Minor Threat, Bold, Earth Crisis, Youth of Today, Youth Brigade, etc.(sorry every band I listed is Straight Edge they were just first theat came to mind) Metalcore=Norma Jean, As I lay Dying, The Chariot, etc.

[undeadkiller]

dumbass ur making me laugh u sad that im only a lefty cause that is what antiflag told me to be , yet im telling me that i make my descions on my own and ur saying that had nothing to do with it.... haha i cant beleive wut a douche u are and that u havent been disowned by ur family yet

excellent. i am saying that your silly rants about how you decide for yourself are bull****, and that you saying that doesn't mean it is true. you may think that, but after listening t anti-flag all day you tend to fall to one side. protect yourself.

[undeadkiller]

Norma Jean and the Chariot are Christian. If that stuff interests you check out Mortal Treason. If any of you BMX its Seth Kimbroughs band.

THANK YOU!

this guy has the right idea. just pick up the dischord comp. (ALL DC HC)... that is real hardcore!

it died in 1989 anyway...

[ADRsk8boarder]

ok w.e ur starting to make zero sense

[undeadkiller]

you just have terrible comprehension skills.

[codymcg]

I have that four way split by Dischord actually..good stuff

[undeadkiller]

^this guy gets it.

even still i would call underoath and **** like that emo, not metalcore.

[TheReverend]

emo and "post-hardcore" are horrible.

the last good post-hardcore band was agnostic front and their hayday was in '89

[kelly]

agnostic front is NYHC. their hayday was not 1989.

I need to stop reading this thread. It makes my head hurt.

[codymcg]

Yeah Agnostic Front is in no way, shape, or form post hardcore. Also, They are still very much alive. They've released four CDs since 1989...more then half of their discograpghy. So howwas their hayday in 1989? They do sound very similar to skinhead bands such as Screwdriver, Angelic Upstarts, and The Exploited. If they are post hardcore, does that make Gorilla Biscuits and the rest of the New York hardcore bands "post-hardcore"? WooHoo Gorilla Biscuits September 2nd at BB Kings!

[forumrider9753]

Ok guys....norma jean, underOATH, etc, are not punk they are 'hardcore' not 'hardcore punk' but the genre 'hardcore' or 'post hardcore'

[undeadkiller]

Ok guys....norma jean, underOATH, etc, are not punk they are 'hardcore' not 'hardcore punk' but the genre 'hardcore' or 'post hardcore'

the genre is emo!

[forumrider9753]

are you serious buddy???? They are not!

[pnsboarder]

yeah i agree with forum here...they are not emo at all cuz they dont really talk about cutting themselves....but just to make sure we are talking about bands like street dogs, anti-flag, the casualties, the briggs, briefs, bouncing souls, the bodies, forgotten, etc. right?

[codymcg]

Emo isn't about cutting yourself. That just showed how ignorant you really are. The "emo" that is out now is just retarded. Real Emo like Sunny Day Real Estate, Falling Forward, Joshua, Hot Water Music, and Eleven Eleven aren't about having the tightest jeans, the most eyeliner, and the most pins on your messenger bag. They didn't care how many "scene points" they had like all of this My chemical Romance sh¡t thats out now.

[codymcg]

PNSboarder--Forum is considering underoath and the likes as hardcore...

[forumrider9753]

Yeah, post hardcore. Not hardcore like death before dishonor etc.

[ADRsk8boarder]

yea my chemical romance and the used suk nuts

[pnsboarder]

PNSboarder--Forum is considering underoath and the likes as hardcore...

o ok i got it now

[burnpianoxisland]

WooHoo Gorilla Biscuits September 2nd at BB Kings!

**** yes. This thread makes my head hurt.

[codymcg]

What's wrong with REAL hardcore?



*edit* I understand your post now...nevermind

[burnpianoxisland]

Hahaha, alright.

That show is going to be incredible. And kids should learn their roots.

[rosstheboss2009]

there is no such thing as hardcore punk, whoever thinks so is a dumbass

[burnpianoxisland]

there is no such thing as hardcore punk, whoever thinks so is a dumbass

HAHAHAHAHA.

[ADRsk8boarder]

i laugh at ross

[rosstheboss2009]

i laugh at ross
your a dumbass, hardcore and punk are 2 different genres of music, thats like classical rap, there is no such thing!!

[ADRsk8boarder]

actually classical rap would be oldies r&b

[rosstheboss2009]

actually classical rap would be oldies r&b
no oldies is oldies, i meant like betoven and bach mixed with jz or some other rapper

[burnpianoxisland]

your a dumbass, hardcore and punk are 2 different genres of music, thats like classical rap, there is no such thing!!

You're a jackass.

Minor Threat. Black Flag. Regan Youth.

Those are all considered to be "hardcore punk". Now known as hardcore but when hardcore first came about it was known as hardcore punk, to differentiate between the crowds that went to the shows.

[phillyboy]

no oldies is oldies, i meant like betoven and bach mixed with jz or some other rapper
Wow that would be crazy... I have never heard a rapper sample anything classical..... hmmm.... you have got to be the most ignorant person on the face of the earth.

[rosstheboss2009]

Wow that would be crazy... I have never heard a rapper sample anything classical..... hmmm.... you have got to be the most ignorant person on the face of the earth.
that was an example thats just as bad as hardcore punk

[pnsboarder]

no oldies is oldies, i meant like betoven and bach mixed with jz or some other rapper

they did a remix of bethoven's fur elise in DDR2 haha

[burnpianoxisland]

that was an example thats just as bad as hardcore punk
:rofl:Are you serious?

[ADRsk8boarder]

they did a remix of bethoven's fur elise in DDR2 haha

haha i love watching people play that game cause it makes them look like there having a seizure

[Proximate Platypus]

I'm too lazy to read all 10 pages, but I've been listening to a fair bit of hardcore, punk, possibly metalcore, and any combinations of the abovementioned lately.
I like Gorilla Biscuits, Black Flag, The Allstars, Alexisonfire, Blue Monday (local), Bench Bracket, Death By Stereo, Gang Green, Hondo Maclean, Kilbourne, Lights Below, Misfits, Negative FX, Outbreak, The Rebel Spell, Refused..

[burnpianoxisland]

Blue Monday rules. As do pretty much every band you listed.

[nj_swede]

anti-flag and billy talent
Billy Talent is sick.

[Proximate Platypus]

Blue Monday rules. As do pretty much every band you listed.^o^/
Thank you! and thanks for the Outbreak recommendation, as well.

[ADRsk8boarder]

Billy Talent is sick.

amen.. do u think there hardcore punk?

[wagon43]

How about Social Distortion, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Fugazi, Suicidal Tendencies. Are those guys punk enough for you?:shock:

[Proximate Platypus]

good stuff... I mean... what are you talking about, those bands aren't hardcore enough.

on a more serious note, does anyone else have trouble trying to explain hardcore to people? My older brother doesn't get it... I'll say something like "I'm going to a hardcore show" or "Refused is a hardcore band" as in the genre, and he'll be all "oh, they're hardcore, are they?" (hardcore meaning... the adjective)...

[burnpianoxisland]

Sometimes with kids that really only listen to stuff off the radio, but from my experience they actually listen to what I say about it.

[dhman82]

yeah dude, nice...american nightmare is the ****, but I heard they had to change their name, you know what it is now?

I have seen em here in Raleigh with Avail, another damn good band.
Also saw AN out in Cali back in summer of 01 with the nerve agents, which if you've never heard them, check em out, their **** is hard to find cuz they broke up in late 01 early 02..but theyre definitely hardcore definitely their own sound too.

The antiheros from ATL, are the **** too and they also arent around anymore. Breathe In is from eastbay too like the nerve agents, theyre good hardcore as well...of course Snapcase, from Buffalo NY, they broke up about a year ago I think. I really like Sick of It All, they pretty much paved the way for a lot of hardcore on the east coast, and theyve been at it for a long time now and still continue to.

Anyone who listens to these bands or who has, hit me back up and tell me your story with em. This is great **** to listen to when you're riding also, it makes you just want to tear it the **** up.

Peace,

D

[burnpianoxisland]

American Nightmare had to change their name to Give Up The Ghost but they broke up a couple of years ago sadly.

[West]

I like Dead Kennedys.

They're punk.

I like Suicide Machines.

They're hardcore/ska?

I like The Mars Volta.

They're experimental post hardcore alternative.

What the hell, I hate all the sub-genres.

[ilikesnow]

yea subgenres are to confusing,
i think we should re-write it
so its like bands are the genres
like you could say hatebreed-hardcore is more metal than 25 ta life-hardcore, so people actually know what your talking about.
to many people came up with their own sound.

[West]

Haha, bands like, Primus have 30,000 genres.

Hillbilly rockabilly rock alternative experimental heavy metal.

But I doubt record stores would start organizing their stores like that, too many sections.

MY LOCAL RECORD STORE MOVED THE PUNK/HARDCORE SECTION TOGETHER WITH THE ROCK SECTION.

I was super pissed.

[ilikesnow]

i don't have a local record store.
:cry:
i have what is called best buy. f.y.e. and the internet

[Proximate Platypus]

MY LOCAL RECORD STORE MOVED THE PUNK/HARDCORE SECTION TOGETHER WITH THE ROCK SECTION.

huh, the music stores I go to (the indie store as well as the mainstream stores) classify it as "rock/pop"... and then there's another section for hip hop and so on.. I don't really mind it; I just find it odd to have dance music in with Refused etc. heheh.

[Corkscrewed]

of course old school sh!t like:
sex pistols
black flag
fugazi
misfits
7seconds
dead kennedys
suicidal tendencies

new(er) sh!t like:
nofx
drop kick murphies
orange 9mm

there're others i can't think of...but i don't f**k with punk as much as hip-hop.

[ashleyistwisted]

excellent. i am saying that your silly rants about how you decide for yourself are bull****, and that you saying that doesn't mean it is true. you may think that, but after listening t anti-flag all day you tend to fall to one side. protect yourself.

so what you're saying is that anything that comes out of ANY anti-flag fan's mouth is influenced from anti-flag? from what i gather you are saying is that they are basically not allowed to have their own opinion, that their opinion dosent count because american youth today is so ignorant that they cant read the newspaper and develop an opinion based on their on personal beliefs. that their opinions are OBVIOUSLY based off some anti-flag song.

[undeadkiller]

**** gorilla biscuits.

big bunch of ******* homophobes.

also, emo has not really been mentioned yet on this thread. originally emo was just emotional hardcore from the 80's (it was called emo to poke fun at the bands for having softer lyrics). bands like rites of spring, heroin, fugazi, and the like were all labeled emo. then in the early otts a bunch of girl-pants wearing same haircut douchebags started ****ty bands and filed themselves in a genre that was originally a joke/insult.

real emo is actually pretty good.

[burnpianoxisland]

GB homophobes = LOL.

I think you're thinking of Bad Brains, and that's only HR, who has destroyed his career since Bad Brains broke up.

And yes, emo is good.

[NorCalsFinest]

RU36 and Rancid most of you havent heard of RU36 but they sing some kick ass **** there a local band

[undeadkiller]

actually when GB played phoenix their manager as well as the manager of the clubhouse (civ too, i think) all were in agreement that no "******" bands were to play the show. george moshington covered up in oil and ran around naked during their set... civ said he wanted to beat them up.

they are in it for the money, not the fun.

[burnpianoxisland]

It's obvious that they're trying to make some money off of the hardcore revival, but they definitey looked like they were having fun when I saw them and talked to them at the BB Kings show.

Civ was probably pissed that someone would do something like that, they have songs about accepting everyone in the world no matter what skin color, gender, or sexual preference you are, hence why I doubt they are homophobes.
