HARDCORE SAVED MY LIFE

[youngluc]

scared people was one of the best hardcore EPs of last year. a friend told me he got a sneak listen at some of the new shit they're working on and its a lot more spacey and shit - really psyched on that.

[Tse]

that sound's sick, any idea about when that material's gunna drop?

[constant struggle]

first ceremony 7" ripped hard

lp was good

havn't heard 2nd 7"

too bad i sold that ifrst 7"

[safeinacrowd]

I'd like to make my contribution.

[Planet Mental]

Ceremony is pretty weak. "First 7 inch was good blah blah." Other than that I could care less, their LP was a complete bore.

Peace On Earth War On Stage was the best EP of last year hands down, Heavier Than Heaven is going to be insane as well.

[Hogtown]

any vinyl fans here? I picked up I Against I by Bad Brains on Vinyl a while ago. The vinyl trumps any mp3 you could throw up, beautiful tone.

[Tse]

I completely agree, vinyl is by far the best sounding. And to add to that, tape cassette quality is also far superior to mp3's. All Our Tommorows End Today by Ampere was the last record i picked up.

[LetsGetSerious]

modern life is war is breaking up

i have tickets for the NYC and the NJ show already

fuck

worst

the new mliw album is the fucking worst... slow &boring

violence violence is fucking great... demo is great... scared people is meh, but still a killer band

[Planet Mental]

Violence Violence is too much of the same, especially since they tacked Ruined on the end of it.

[LetsGetSerious]

album is short anyway man! they could cut out the intro track and have it even shorter!

And both A and B sides of the vinyl are the exact same ha

[powerviolence]

Not really hardcore, but punk as fuck.

Born against are the best shit right now for me

thoughts?

short, fast, loud

[julianREE]

i missed ceremony on day two of the rivalry showcase..

i'll see them soon though, they always play around the bay. and if any of you guys haven't seen them live, GET WITH IT. their live shows are probably one of the best in hardcore today. (same with trash talk which i got massacred during)

i think they're limiting themselves to one show per month until they finish their cd, which should be sometime in summer.

[Planet Mental]

had many opprotunities to see them, just don't care enough about them.

[constant struggle]

planet mental is a great album

mliw's new album is awesome id otn knwo what you are talking about

[headtowall]

Born Against is a hardcore band. A very good one.

[Planet Mental]

PM rules. Mental rules in general.

Constant Struggle is extremely heavy and those new tracks do not stray far from that.

Still haven't heard anything of MLIW's after Witness, which was pretty good.

Don't bother, the new cd was a huge disappointment for me.

[julianREE]

i wouldn't say MLIW new cd is horrible, but my love, my way and witness were a lot better. i'll miss MLIW, their show with trash talk and trap them at the gilman was very memorable.

[constant struggle]

mliw is my favorite band

i've seen them about 15 times

i think i have over 25 MLIW records, over 10 MLIW shirts

im real bummed they are breaking up

my love my way is the best album

i want it tattooed on me

[Planet Mental]

My Love My Way is excellent, don't think they could have topped that.

[heBAY]

Born against are the best shit right now for me

thoughts?

Wow...I'm glad someone brought this band up again...so it wasn't just me and Darkeside. Easily one of my favorite bands ever. Big supporter of many related ABC No Rio bands of that era/collective family (Citizens Arrest, Rorschach, Absollution, Burn, Turning Point, starting with Lifesblood, etc.)...although some of those bands were only shittily recorded demos and one or two compilation tracks.

I would definitely consider BA hardcore punk...it's just not formulaic Youth Crew hardcore shit that's focused on breakdowns and singalongs.

I'll also add my latest vinyl cop contribution, ironically another Mcpheeters production...Wrangler Brutes' first "tape" on LP. NOT Born Against...but still a fun and interesting band. I just lost out on an auction for Beyond's LP.

Unfortunately, I've been a little too lazy to always seek out the rare/oop vinyl pressings, so I've been reduced to purchasing some reissues on CD from the labels (mostly in Discography form). Though I was able to score the official first Citizen's Arrest CD release (yes, Discography) through my boy in Montreal who lived near a store that still somehow had it in stock. Can't wait for that one...beats these vinyl MP3 rips.

[ddohnggo]

wrangler brutes were so fucking killer live.

[sean_]

yo hebay yeah that is the episode i was talking about. theyre from tennessee or something, no one knows anything about them, and they've never played live, and they put out one of the best 7"s i heard last year

also, i pretty much only buy vinyl at this point - i have a huge cd collection that just sits around gathering dust now which kind of sucks

oh and trash talk are playing here in april and i cant fucking wait. i probably have exams and stuff but i'm willing to risk my academic career to see them live. and ceremony is apparently coming this summer, woo

[Darkeside]

Born Against is a hardcore band. A very good one.

co-signed although this doesn't do them anywhere near enough justice!

I bought that cd on the off chance because it had Shit in the title when i was about 16, and it was mind blowing. It's hard to imagine what the hardcore(and alot of the more related genres) would have become without bands like Born Against, just so angry and reckless sounding, even on record.

I can't begin to imagine how crazy it would have been live!

Citizens Arrest is harsh too. I think Born Against can sometimes sound a little dated but imagine if Citizens Arrest re-recorded today, it would knock lumps out of people.

[sickjarred]

three new bands everyone in this thread needs to check out:

www.myspace.com/petitionhc

www.myspace.com/mindpiecenyc

www.myspace.com/underdaice

you can thank me later. petition is the best new band out in the last 3-4 years by far. they need some well deserved recognition.

edit: also, www.myspace.com/forfeitny
