they're awesome, yes. i was mostly talking about bands along the lines of madball, buried alive, merauder, blood for blood.... etc.
but any era, any style, whatever. i appreciate all of it.
-
...So basically every band on SST?
-
Dude, Terveet Kädet.
-
Gorilla Biscuits!
-
Fugazi.
-
Lifetime!
Would The Nation Of Ulysses count?
-
the nation of ulysses were absolutely god-like in my mind.
i honestly consider them to be in the top ten bands that america has ever produced.
but i wouldn't call them 'hardcore'.
Hmm ok. Well Lifetime works then.
Blood For Blood?
Does Death Before Dishonor count? They are a Boston hardcore band I think but I don't know if they've been around since before 2000.
A lot of people considered Saves The Day's "Can't Slow Down" album kind of hardcore, plus that and a lot of New Jersey bands were inspired heavily by Lifetime.

what the fuck? Who?
Anyway, maybe The Killer? A lot of the bands that are getting big now have been working since pre-2000, so I'm not positive on what you mean. Shai Hulud? Refused??

Yeah, that's about all the modern, pre-2000 hardcore I dig. Course there are heaps of oldschool hardcore bands and more recent hardcore bands too.

Do bands like Nailbomb and Biohazard count as Hardcore?
-
Biohazard yes. Nailbomb no.
-
Limp Bizkit
-
at the drive in
the blood brothers
they're more post-hardcore, i think.

This has been a while...
Anyway, I used to into hardocre when I was 14 to 17. At 17 I discovered a more free kind of music.
If you want bands and names...
Agnostic Front; together with the Cro-mags, the heart and soul of NYHC. Their early recordings are the very essence of hardcore to me; you can't play your instrument decently, you have very primitive recording material, you don't even have a crowd or an audience but you're still doing what you believe in.
I won't mention Madball because some of its members are also in AF.
Biohazard: great band. Too bad that it had to end with poor albums ('Kill or Be Killed' was very weak) and Evan Seinfeld (bass/vox) becoming Tera's pimp. These guys deserved better.
Right Direction; a band from M-Town or Maastricht (NL). They split but are back together. Unlike many other HC-bands they have a very good sense of melody.
Believe it or not but there were a lot of bands from Maastricht (which is remarkable keeping in mind that Maastricht is only a very small town).
You had One night Stand who started it all, Backfire!, Demon Jooker Junior, 400$ Suits and many more bands.
That scene really flourished until the suicede if Richard Bruinen (Backfire!). Afterwards a lot of bads just couldn't really go on anymore.
Tree: Boston based band. Not sure of you count them as hardcore or as a mixture of stoner and punk.
Then a lot of overrated bands like Violation of Trust, Ryker's, Hard Resistance, Backfire!
-
these threads have to stop.
-
I know you are but what am I?
Some other good bands that I listen to occasionally (eg borrow friends' CDs) are Integrity and Judge. Judge are pretty good straight edge hardcore.
Very crucial.
