Makes sense that you can hear that influence in here then, if that's true. Hate to hear if a scene is gatekeeping in such a manner.

i don't wanna overcommit and say all music for the youth sucks but ya there's only a handful of bands in hardcore doing anything worth paying attention to imho. I wish these guys tried anything other than riff breakdown riff breakdown

Well, a lot of the hardcore giants of yesteryear have either broken up, or have plateaued, or can't reclaim the glory of a breakout performance. There'll always be room for something new and exciting, I'm sure. Might just need to wait for the new class to rise up, so to speak.



I'd keep an eye on Sparrows as they continue to put out content, as well as Trvss, This Gift is a Curse, Brutus, Nostromo (CHE), and Castor's Hollow



I excluded a good handful from last year since they were more emo/post-hardcore or metalcore

thanks for the rec for castor's hollow, they kick ass.

Well I think that's just it. hardcore as a genre is pretty dead, and heavy rock music in that vein has to blend genres to do anything exciting. that's why people went apeshit over vein and code orange.

Nostromo (CHE) and Castor’s Hollow is good...

[edit]: the hilarious bit is I don’t remember a single thing from Castor’s Hollow, yet apparently I liked it enough to include on the “honorable mentions” portion of what was to be my 2019 AOTY list before my -core homework lists entered and destroyed any chance(s) I had of creating said list. lol.

agreed! Also I'm just hoping Vein puts out something to rival code orange because underneath was a fucking shitshow. Are there any crossover bands that are even worth listening to these days? Each one i hear of just gets shit on. Except for toxic holocaust, but i don't even know if they're relevant anymore. pretty disconnected from that world

Only good crossover I can think of off the top of my head is Power Trip, and depending on who you talk to that could be construed as a loaded statement.
It’s got lovers, and it’s got haters is all I’m gonna say. ;p

Depends on what you mean by crossover.



If you mean the electronic/industrial elements Code Orange use, The Armed are your answer.

Crossover is generally used to describe a thrash/hardcore punk hybrid, it originated as early as bands like septic death and then through the 90s with bands like all out war, and lately with bands like power trip or iron Reagan
