Over the past few days I've been rediscovering my love for fast hardcore. I never stopped liking this music and certain bands such as Charles Bronson and DS-13 have remained in rotation, I was even playing bass in a fast hardcore band not so long ago. But It's been a long time since I dug out records by bands like Das Oath, I Shot Cyrus, I Quit!, What Happens Next?, Voorhees, Urko, Long Live Nothing etc. It used to be such a staple of my musical diet as well, but since I have so much of it when looking for new music I would always be investigating something like emo, grime or dubstep instead of yet another band in this style. That endless search for new music to listen to led me to forget about some of the great records I already owned, which is a shame because these bands are loaded with passion and energy. It's raw, uncompromised, intelligent and everything that made me fall in love with DIY.
So the point of this thread is that I was wondering what music other people had this experience with. Bands or styles that slipped from your mind for a good long while only to come back with a vengeance. If so, why did they go away? What is it about them that pulled you back again, and is it different the second time around? Alternatively, do you never experience this and either something stays with you or it's gone for good?
