Dude, we KNOW Rizzo's hardcore...look at his sig!
I forgot to add Ringworm. Didn't really care about that band until I saw them play live with Converge last year.

pimp, pimp!! i love discovering new bands, thats always awesome.
oh, and i LOVE tragedy, and ramallah.
and scytale, that's too bad that you can't get into most precious blood. they're a fantastic band (at least in my opinion). but, the fact that you gave them a listen and tried them out is pretty awesome. not a lot of people give hardcore even that much of a chance.
ALoveSupreme:
What's too bad is that I grew into hardcore (aside from finding refused on 120 minutes, staying up "late" freshman year) with the hardcore scene that is now generally regarded as ingenuine, cheap and fake.
The "metalcore" scene of the midwest with bands like End This Day and Dead to Fall and most notably 7 Angels 7 Plagues was one of the most amazing things to see grow, and is probably the only "scene" I'll ever truly feel attached to. Getting to watch these types of bands in shithole basements where most of the audiance dancing had to worry they'd slam their head on the 7 foot high, dilapidated cieling, while these kids did what they loved and did it with the true passion of any DIY scene will always inspire me.
Now I see tons of bands that are just capitolizing on the fact that this has become a huge trend in heavy music (basically no better than numetal at this point), and what's almost worse is hearing people who know nothing about what the begining was like deride it as shit music through and through.
I don't really care that those types of bands aren't "hardcore" in the classic sense of Bad Brains or Nation of Ulysses or whatever. I'll always associate the movement I experienced with the overall essence of the hardcore/punk DIY ethic and emotion.
oh, and to add for favorite albums (again, not technically "hardcore", but all of these bands drew from hardcore roots, etc blah blah blah):
Coma Eternal- The Nuance Formula
End This Day- Sleeping Beneather the Ashes of Creation
Dead to Fall- 2002 5 Song Untilted demo
7 Angels 7 Plagues- Jhazmyne's Lullabye

Haha, Cthulhucore for life. I'd forgotten about my sig.
Pimping you say?
The Wrongmen; Auckland band similar in many ways to Converge but more political and more brutal.
http://www.the-wrongmen.com/
Antagonist; Hamilton metalcore band, getting a bit fruity these days but still pretty decent.
http://www.myspace.com/alwaystheantagonist
Every Man for Himself; Auckland metalcore band, keeping it real, Christian and quite posi but still damn good. Probably the coolest website of any hardcore band, especially the dressups game.

Fever Lake; Auckland, they vary between genuine screamo and hardcore.
http://www.myspace.com/feverlake
Cold by Winter; Auckland, meh, most famous but possibly least original.
http://www.myspace.com/coldbywinternz
Kill Me Quickly; Auckland, very political hardcore, now broken up or so I heard.
http://www.myspace.com/killmequicklynz
Damaged; Wellington, good shit.
http://www.myspace.com/damagednz
Actionman Records; NZ's hardcore label.

sweet!! i'm gonna check all those bands out. thanks.
and lovesupreme, i feel your pain. metalcore really isn't my thing (although there are a few really good bands out there) but i understand the frustration of watching a once great scene go to shit because of kids getting "too cool" or because of shit talking. sucks, sucks, sucks.
a few great bands to check out from victoria:
tough as nails
http://www.myspace.com/toughasnailshc
this band has been around a long time, and is fantastic because of it.
AK47
http://www.myspace.com/ak47_hardcore
really awesome thrashy hardcore from guys that have been doing this shit for longer than most of us have been alive. they still come to shows, too. rad, rad people.
ice cold
http://www.myspace.com/icefuckingcold
ok, technically, these guys are from vancouver, and TECHNICALLY they're broken up, but man are they good. and really nice guys,too. like, ridiculously nice.
