HARDCORE SAVED MY LIFE

[constant struggle]

And?

I saw Integrity when they toured with On Broken Wings.

I'd hope someone would ridicule me if I tried to start a serious conversation about the MO|SH in this thread.

obw is horrible

/ /|MO|SH|\ \ hoodies - also REALLY bad

[powerviolence]

^^^Agreed

I will plus rep when I can

[heBAY]

Yeah...Uh...I'd say Damaged is a great great album...classic even...but it is a sin to overlook the earlier Flag...I feel like that band reached it's peak about 6 times (3 of which happened before Rollins).

My only gripe with Damaged...sometimes I wish it were recorded a bit cleaner (like the earlier stuff...Poly said it many pages back and I def. hear it now...the earlier stuff is just sonically better).

[heBAY]

and yes...Flag is definitely some of the best shit I've ever heard...ever.

ever.

ever.

a powerful, fucking dreadful monster that FLag is.

[headtowall]

NATIONS ON FIRE anyone?!

All I know about this band is that they inserted a cheesey line about straight edge into their Embrace cover. Are they actually any good?

And Damaged is a perfectly fine record. Late Black Flag/early Rollins Band is great.

How about early Henry Garfield? SOA was great shit. Thank the lord for Dischord.

[poly800rock]

Yeah but those early Boston bands were great!

i personally think nothing holds a candle to early boston hardcore. there isn't a bad track (despite the amazing diversity) on "This is Boston, Not LA." It's really weird for me to think that such innovative bands like the Proletariat were playing hand in hand with straight forward hardcore bands like Minor Threat, Black Flag. As can be said about the Proletariat, as the same with Mission of Burma. The Gang Green tracks on "This is Boston, Not La" are amazing, the kids were like 14-16 at the time...

[constant struggle]

anyone going to united blood fest?

[sean_]

i think my little brother is

either that or this is hardcore or whatever it;s called... i dont remember

[constant struggle]

this is hardcore was over the summer

i went to the first one, but not the 2nd..

[shoreman1782]

I can't imagine going to a hardcore show these days (at my age, I should add), let alone a festival. Do most hardcore shows still have like 8 bands playing?

[constant struggle]

really depends, how old are you anyway, i see plenty of people nearing 30 at lots of shows i go to, plus some older too...

personally 4 bands is usually best

I do agree that early Boston hardcore was great. SSD's "Boiling Point" is probably one of my favorite songs from that region and time period.

I don't know about Black Flag being totally "straight forward" though.

From what I know of the current "scene"...I find myself wondering the same thing about Ceremony when they play shows with Soul Control and other Youth Crew'ish hc bands. Ceremony, to me, is in a league of their own...certainly a great take on what modern day hc is supposed to sound like.

I mentioned DIschord in my last post...and yes...it's probably been said...def. thought...but I can't forget to mention the early DC stuff. From TeenIdles/Minor Threat and Scream to Governemtn Issue and fucking Void.

[heBAY]

of course the Bad Brains...derrrr.

Another question is...DC Youth Brigade...or Cali Youth Brigade?

the shows aren't in warehouses anymore, and they're like 10 bux to get in. stalag days are over my dear friend.

Personally, I'd go for the Cali Youth Bridage. I'm a sucker for that BYO sound.

ain't that the truth.

We are sad to announce that Sean Finnegan, the drummer from Void and an original member of the Dischord family, passed away on Wednesday January 30th of an apparent heart attack, he was 43. Sean's family will receive friends Monday 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 P.M. at HARRY H. WITZKE'S FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, INC., 4112 Old Columbia Pike, Ellicott City, Maryland. Sean played in Void while they we're active from 1980-1983 and was recently working on the set of the HBO production, "The Wire". An obituary and guest book can be found in the Baltimore Sun. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to Sean's many friends and family members.

In lieu of flowers Sean's family ask that donations may be made to the Fisher House, Walter Reed Hospital , Washington, D.C.

they've been pretty important for the european straight edge scene in the early 1990s that's for sure, however hardly anyone remembers them, even though edward started goodlife recordings and hans sings for liar and did sobermind records later on

[Double D]

Woo.

This Is Hell are back here in April... should make up for the last tour when for some weird reason they opened ahead of The Warriors and Cancer Bats and I missed half their set.

Fuckin' weird I've been on a Void kick very recently.

[lexerone]

They posted something about that on their Myspace blog. I don't know how this happened exactly, but IMO the Bad Brains aren't so focused on shutting down everything that is corporate or machine-related as some of their punk brothers and sisters. They were more on some spread love, spread positive music shit...plus weren't they signed? It's not so much of a fallacy as seeing someone like Minor Threat or the DK's on MTV.

Also this ain't the first time...Bad Brains were also on MTV during The Quickness era I think...they showed a few videos and spoke to Dr. Know and D.J. about the band (probably the same shit as they talk about now...and no HR...but back then I'm sure was one of the many turbulent times for them)...showed I AGainst I, Soul Craft, and Secret Agent 77, I think.

[LetsGetSerious]

reign supreme anyone?

not exactly the most thought provoking or original hardcore band lately, but if their new record doesnt make you mosh, you might be gay.

Wow, I was gay all this time and didn't know it? No offense, but judging by the songs on their Myspace page, yawn...

[LetsGetSerious]

sorry but yeah u probably homo, you probably hate cold world too!

[julianREE]

i don't like cold world, but that's my opinion. i'm not really fond of the rap injected into it..

[LetsGetSerious]

if it wasnt for those guys in biohazard!

[heBAY]

Yeah man. Damn Biohazard. I don't like it neither.

LGS? Do you "pick up the change?"

[headtowall]

Yeah man. Damn Biohazard. I don't like it neither.
