2000-2005 hc was the best.

Yes. I got into hardcore in the late 90s but in the UK it kinda sucked until 2000 and then blew up around 2002-03. Got a bit too "awesome-core" and turned into a massive circle jerk scene eventually but was a lot of fun while it lasted and its popularity meant there were always plenty of bodies to stagedive onto. Dropped out in 2005 but did my time with bands, zines and show promotion.

Nice to see DS-13 get a mention here. They toured Europe with ETA from Sweden in 2001 or 02 and really tore it up.

All the Deranged, Feral Ward, Havoc, etc stuff from early to mid 2000s was great.

[Sugar Mountain]

Indeed. Wish I still had a turntable so I could spin some of those records. Really in the mood for some 9 Shocks Terror now!

[komenu]

who is and who wishes they were attending NDY in toronto this weekend?

This is what we could salvage of the documentary "EDGE DAY 2000: The Last Show Of In My Eyes." Hope you enjoy it! Here are some words from In My Eyes' guitarist, Anthony Pappalardo...

[Sugar Mountain]

Nice. I was listening to the second In My Eyes LP over the weekend and still rate it highly. It was a really important record to me when it came out and brings back some good memories of being 18.

I watched the trailer for the Edge Day doc through your link and I think I spotted the drummer in my old band swing his way across the dancefloor seconds into the clip of IME, haha. The guitarist from Bane wore our shirt on stage too and made our year.

[conqueror]

how old are you? are you still edge?

[Sugar Mountain]

Just coming up to the big 3-0. Broke edge after nine years aged 24. Nothing major but felt it wasn't necessary for where I was headed... if that makes sense.

[conqueror]

ah, bummer. 8 years here in a few months.

since 2000 i've seen AN 13+ times.

went to the suicide file record release show where they retired their first two seven inches without a band name, saw them at posi numbers a few times, watched them deteriorate over the years and feel no need to relive those golden days with a bunch of hyped up new kids and euros.

[telluride11]

if you've moshed to the AN intro raise ya hand

[conqueror]

i don't/didn't mosh, but i definitely nodded my head w/ crossed arms (hc staple). does that count?

[decades777]

I don't understand why this is happening after all the shit Wes said in interviews after they called it quits.

Kind of like the Carry On reunions I guess.....welp.

[conqueror]

ya, when you're dead - stay dead. hc is the main genre that didn't get the memo, unfortunately. champion reunion by 2014 is guaranteed (edgebreaks or not).

[joey_formal]

I enjoyed that article too. Busted out the Faith's Subject to Change not so long ago and it's so, so good. Love that more melodic style that paved the way for Dag Nasty, Swiz, Marginal Man etc. Gotta dig out my Govt Issue records at some point soon.

[conqueror]

i just realised, the prospect of wes playing AN songs decked out in rick owens and ccp to a room full of hc kids would/will be hilarious.

[decades777]

I wish Deathbeds was still commanding a decent price on ebay so I could make some $$$$$.

[conqueror]

it still goes for roughly $150, most i've seen a copy go for is $400. i have my copy somewhere.

[madapaka]

my friend managed to get a copy for 80 that is the cheapest i've heard..

[akuma no uta]

New punch records are sick as fuck. Such good fast/slow moments.

[akuma no uta]

Touché amore is on fucking repeat. Only thing making me feel ok.
