80's Hardcore Punk has a hold on me

[Misfit_Fiend]

I was just listening to one of my favourite albums, Black Flag's Damaged and was wondering are there any hardcore punk bands now that are worth listening to? I've been kinda stuck with 80's hardcore so long that I've become isolated.

[shane italian]

Suicidal Tendencies
Circle Jerks
Bad Brains
No For An Answer
Warzone
Gorilla Biscuits
Youth Of Today
Burn
Inside Out

A couple of those are borderline 80s/90s. All worth checking out though.

[Rise Me Up]

Sick of it All, do they count?

[shane italian]

Yeah, I think they put out their first 7" in '87.

[Brain Toad]

I can't think of any bands that sound like the 80s but aren't from the 80s. I'm sure once Adam comes on he'll list a bunch.

[shane italian]

What?

[Brain Toad]

What?

Was what I said confusing? He wants bands who play 80s-style hardcore punk that are from the present. Adam (Excursions) knows a lot of 80s hardcore punk and probably knows a lot of bands.

Ah, I didn't catch that in his post.

Well then:

F'ucked Up
Annihilation Time
Tarpit

[Converge#12]

Black Flag or course being the first and the best.

[Subvert_bassist]

Gorilla Biscuits. I'm not gonna bother naming any more, because GB rules.

[lynch_me]

Shark Attack

[Iron Bug]

Kill Your Idols and 7 Seconds are still going, as for new bands I'm drawing a blank.

[Feel The Darkness]

Annihilation Time

:thumb: '

I've been jamming them almost non-stop as of late.

Other bands to check out:
Holier Than Thou? - Thrash, but highly influenced by 80's hc. Now borken up, but when they were around they released like 4 albums I believe. They also did mean covers of Motorhead and Stalag 13.

A.N.S. (http://www.myspace.com/ans) - DESTROY THE NEW SCHOOL! These dudes rip it up, straight out of Dallas. If yer a fan of old school skate rock, check these dudes out.

Vitality! (http://www.myspace.com/vitalityhxc) - Old school youth crew hardcore out of Houston, TX. Really awesome band, be sure to check em out.

Caustic Christ (http://myspace.com/causticchrist) - From the ashes of Aus-Rotten came several bands, but the one to bring back the sound from days gone is Caustic Christ. They have a crusty sound to 'em, but ye can hear all the emphasis on 80's styled hc. If ye like Black Flag or Posion Idea, I'm sure you'll love 'em.

Regulations - Awesome swedish hc band. Has members of ExTxAx (Epileptic Terror Attack). Real old school sound, I'm sure you'll love it. Right now they're on a US tour. They're playing in Austin, TX tonight.

Here's an mp3: http://havocrex.com/mp3/Regulations_Police_Sirens.mp3
...and ye can check out the tour dates here: http://www.havocrex.com

If I think of more bands, I'll post 'em up.

Yea, I need to pick up their records from back then. Just haven't had the cash.

haha, yea, no problem-o. I know there're more, but I lost the links, but if I find 'em again I'll link ye to 'em.

[Brain Toad]

Forward to Death is good old school sounding modern stuff.
They were made from members of Tear it Up, who Adam raves about but I've never heard, but I'm guessing they have an old school sound too.

[redstainedeyes]

Keep It Up is really good. I don't have any mp3's or anything, but you should definitely check them out.

[Subvert_bassist]

Aw ****, I forgot Regulations. I have the s/t LP. Hella good.

[xxGumbyxx]

400 Blows (early 90s)

[Anxious]

Big Boys

[TakeWarning]

Gorilla Biscuits + Minor Threat = My favourite 80's bands.

[StruckEverywhere]

Good new bands with old school sounds:

Righteous Jams
Nerve Agents
Far Left Limit
Western Addiction
NMDS (kinda, but as we ALL know, best band today, so check em out)

[CarrionBirds]

Kill Your Idols and 7 Seconds are still going, as for new bands I'm drawing a blank.

kill your idols isnt from the 80's

but anyway, check out the descendents

[albert_bass]

Sick of it All, do they count?

F'uck yeah, they do rule so they must count.

[shane italian]

Cut The S'hit are a good pick too.

[Iron Bug]

I know they started in 96, but they sound like they are from the 80's.

[Theramed]

erm i always thought ten yard fight did/do (dunno whether they are still about) and i know that facexup were influenced alot by the 80's sound.

[AaronNi]

You'd probably like Hook & the Daggers. They've got a good 80's hardcore sound.

http://www.myspace.com/hookandthedaggers

This is taken from their website, this is a good summary of Tim.

Hook and the Daggers started in 2003 as a way to get free drinks. We are three friends who have ****ty equipment that's falling apart (partially our fault) very little interest in the current "state" of music or the scene. We hate scene politics, posers, and mother****ers holding their *** too tight to dance. We have been called old school punk, hardcore punk , melodic punk. Tags we feel are totally meaningless. We call ourselves Ballroom Thrash. We are not a "political" band but have a lot of socio-politcal songs. we dont take ourselves too seriously, unless you're talking about bring the ruckus, we do take that very seriously. Our shows vary from totally out of control drunken catharsis, to somewhat in control drunken catharsis. I (tim) dont play this kind of music because it's profitable or cool. i do it so that i can have an excuse to yell "**** this ****" while hanging out with my friends. The people who come to our shows and sing along with our songs are just an amazing
added bonus to something that i find completely gratifiying. so thank you.

[Anti-Prefix]

Listen to Artificial Peace, they are off Dischord Records.:)

[Rise Me Up]

Listen to Gray Matter, they too are off Dischord.

[Excursions]

I would stay isolated if I were you. But if you feel the need try;

Career Suicide
Tear It Up
Deadfall

And yes, I do say the exact same bands whenever these threads come up.

[DaveToopes]

Cro-Mags! All the songs off of "The Age Of Quarrell" are available for download on their site.
http://www.cromags.com/

[Arrakakaka]

And no-one mentions the Necros.

:(

[DaveToopes]

That's exactly what I thought when I didn't see Cro-Mags on here. I suppose you must step up to the plate when nobody has mentioned a band, and recommend the man the band yourself.

[Excursions]

Did you two not read the gigantic text posted by J?

[StruckEverywhere]

Did you two not read the gigantic text posted by J?

Hey, I got the right idea and I never even read the first post.

And NEVER become isolated with music, Adam's just ghey.

[Lazybassplr56]

New Mexican Disaster Squad are sooooooooooo good. They sound like they would be an 80's band for sure.

[Liebensaft]

Is Suicidal Tendencies a punk band? I just downloaded their 'best of' album and it was classified as hard rock.

[asdf]

I got one of my friends into minor threat, and now I've been wanting to listen to them.

[coheneran]

are the Dwarves hardcore? Saw them at Leeds. They encouraged some guy to crowd-dive off the main tent pole support thingy, like 15-20 feet above the crowd. I was in the front so I didn't get hurt, I was just treated to a wonderful view of the guitarists' willy and the occasional spray of beer from a flying can :thumb:

[bryce_the_cat]

I'd say they're hardcore.

saw gang green with DKM in edmonton a week ago. awesome band

[modern_man]

i saw gang green in germany back in 91.all they ever sing about is getting drunk(which is a great topic to expand on).i dont know if they have changed.ive been out of the scene for years now.personally i thought the scene was all but dead.and i cant beleive gang green is still around.

[AIRIC]

The scene isn't dead, you just have to know where to look.

[modern_man]

thats the point.i have to look for it nowadays.before it was all around me.i knew it wasnt dead but lingering around someplace and that place isnt where im at.as far as punk music,i still keep in touch with that.though i dont keep up with the new stuff too much.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Adolescents + Minor Threat + Gorilla Biscuits = Sex

yep. they do do alot of gettin g drunk songs but it is a topic everyone can relate to. and believe me it won't be dead for a LONG time.

It's a personal choice that's open to interpretation as long as it falls under the basic range of what is was meant to be. That being a way of life where ye refrain from participating in activities that may, in turn, turn your focus on that activity. Thus some people are still premiscuous if they feel they are capable of thinking straight during everyday situations.

Anyways, back to the subject at hand.

I don't really get this thread title.

The song goes "Depression's got a hold on me, depression, gotta break free"

But who really wants to break free from 80's hardcore?

[Liebensaft]

I don't know. It's got a hold on me, but I don't plan on letting go anytime soon.

[Excursions]

But who really wants to break free from 80's hardcore?

No one does. It's just to be trendy but oh boy they will all come crawling back soon enough.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Since when is it trendy to NOT like 80s hardcore if youre into hardcore.

[Buzzbomb]

I don't really get this thread title.

Maybe its not a reference to Depression by Black Flag

[DaveToopes]

It might just mean that he has been listening to a lot of 80's hardcore, and he wants to hear some more bands?
