Does anybody here like Shark Attack? I think I saw the mentioned once, but that's it. I'm pretty sure most of you would like them a lot.

I listened to them on a sampler I got at Hellfest, can't remember what they sound like or I even like them.

They broke up in 2000, and only have like 15 minutes of recorded music, not including the live stuff. Download some stuff if you can find it. I have 2 songs by them on soulseek if you want them.

This is for those of you who throw around the the phrase hardcore far too often.

Metalcore is often mistaken for Hardcore on these boards. Here's the difference.

Hardcore is punk influenced music that sometimes has a heavier sound and sometime's doesn't. It sometimes have breakdowns and some don't, this depends more on the age of the band. Some are straight edge, some aren't. But most have honest sincere lyrics about issues that they themselves face.

Metalcore is obviously metal influenced and because they're of this there is more complexity in the writings of guitar, more noted riffs added to it than hardcore has.. Some say that it has punk influences...but that depends on what band you are talking about. Metalcore has a lot of breakdowns, most of which have the "JUN JUN JUN" sound which some double bass. Metalcore was a lot better a couple years ago before more and more band's started learning that you can tune into drop-C, use only thin picks, and get a drummer who knows his double bass.

Hardcore bands:
Blood For Blood, Chain Of Strength, American Nightmare, Death Threat, Judge, Gorilla Biscuits, 7 Seconds, Champion, Count Me Out, Carry On, Terror

Metalcore bands:
Hatebreed, 100 Demons, Bury Your Dead, Black My Heart, On Broken Wings, Hoods, North Side Kings, Walls Of Jericho, Clenched Fist

Grindcore in its purest form consisted of short, apocalyptic blasts of noise played on standard heavy metal instrumentation (distorted guitar, bass, drums). Although grindcore wasn't just randomly improvised, it certainly didn't follow conventional structure, either; while riffs could sometimes be picked out, pure grindcore never featured verses, choruses, or even melodies. Grindcore vocals sounded torturous, ranging from high-pitched shrieks to low, throat-shredding growls and barks; although the lyrics were usually quite verbose, they were very rarely intelligible. Some bands in this catagory can also be known as Mathcore. Meaning they're more complex in the musical writings.

Grindcore bands:
Napalm Death, Dillinger Escape Plan, Death, Carcass, The Locust, The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza, **** and Ball Torture, Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed...

Emo style has become broader over the years. In the beginning, these bands consisted mostly of people who played in hardcore punk bands, got burned out its limited forms, and moved to a guitar-oriented, midtempo rock-based sound with emotional punk vocals (i.e., no posed soulful crooning like pop music). The central aspect here is the guitars - distorted, strummed mostly in duo unison, with occasional catchy riff highlights. This becomes known as the classic "D.C. sound," along with the octave chords that show up in later "emo" music. Later bands bring in more pop elements, like catchy-riff based songs, pop song structures (listen to Jawbreaker's "Chesterfield King" to illustrate this), and less-punk, more-smoothly-sung high-register singing (less yelling, straining, throatiness). Listen to Elliot or Chamberlain for an example of how alternative-pop this music has become. Yet those bands are undeniably still emocore. Also note most emo bands play Gibson Les Paul guitars, with a few SGs, and use mostly Marshall JCM-800 amps...Emo has recently evolved into something more complex since the D.C. era. Bands have adopted to more obscure lyrics along with intricate riffs and interesting vocals.

Emo bands:
Rites of Spring, Embrace, Gray Matter, Ignition, Dag Nasty, Monsula, Fugazi kind of, Fuel, Samiam, Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, Elliot, Friction, Soulside, early Lifetime, Split Lip/Chamberlain, Kerosene 454

Post-Hardcore
In the early-to-mid '80s, several bands in the United States came to life that were inspired by the do-it-yourself ethics and the cathartic, guitar-heavy material characterized by the hardcore punk bands that predated them. These newer bands, termed post-hardcore, often found complex and dynamic ways of blowing off steam that generally went outside the strict hardcore realm of "loud fast rules." These bands often used more than three chords and they also creatively built and released tension rather than airing their dirty laundry in short, sharp, frenetic bursts. Additionally, many of these bands' vocalists were just as likely to deliver their lyrics with a whispered croon as they were a maniacal yelp. Along with Hüsker Dü, Naked Raygun was one of the first U.S. post-punk bands of the early '80s that merged melodic influences with punk/hardcore. These were the first two bands (Husker and Naked Raygun) in 1981. With other bands in the Chicago scene such as the Effigies, Breaking Circus and Man Sized Action followed by later bands such as Fugazi, Quicksand, Dag Nasty and Mission Of Burma. Another important influence on many of these bands was U.K. post-punk from the late '70s and early '80s; Gang of Four, Public Image Limited, Joy Division, and Wire played a significant role in many of the bands' musical growth.[/QUOTE]


How about you idiots stop trying to put everything in a nice neat little box, and just listen to music. You pigeon hole everything. Its funny how this dudes definition of hardcore barely touches on the original hardcore bands. Do you really think the punks of the 70s and the hardcore kids in the 80s sat around deabating which genre to pigeon hole every band into? Are you kidding me? Anyone who talked like that would have gotten their *** kicked. The kids these days sit around debating how to classify every single band but back in the day no one cared about that. Are there any other punks in here in their mid 30s or so that agress with this that was actually around in the early 80s?

Well thats what we do here talk about music and specific genres. F'uck off fag.

Um...theres a difference between talking about music and pigeon holing everything you ignoramous. Being a moron you missed my point. First off I was stating the dude who made the original post left out the original hardcore bands out og his description of hardcore which I found odd, second this whole pigeon holing (emo, metalcore, street punk, d-beat, screamo) kind of crap never happened back then. No one sat around talking like that. Its retarded. What dont you get.

Face it, you need genre classification to make music work. Hardcore has evolved since the eighties and everyone acknowledges the orginal hardcore bands. But the fact is, hardcore has changed and in the process created various subgenres.

Actually I am 36. I stated a fact. No one used to sit around talking like that. It is the new breed that does that sh'it.

The reason kids in the early hardcore kids in the 80's didn't talk about:

Street Punk: Started with the Exploited in the UK, early hardcore started in the US, they probably didn't know about it.

Emo: Evolved from early hardcore, thus couldn't have even existed then.

Metalcore: Probably weren't any metalcore bands back then.

Screamo: No screamo back then.

D-Beat: Not a real genre?

f'uck off :rolleyes:

You are a complete moron. The point I was making is that punks and hardcore kids in the early days didnt try to pigeon hole bands into tiny little safe compartments like they do today. I highly doubt you were around then. I was using examples of the genres you people pigeon hole bands into today - AS EXAMPLES. I understand these safe little compartments did not exist then. Instead you had different genres. In the early 80s you had the straight edge movement start popping up. The hardcore kids didnt sit around discussing which bands were and were not straight edge. The same kids who were going to see Black Flag sing about siz packs of beer were going to Minor Threat shows. In New York you had the experimental punk bands who were part of the NO-WAVE movement such as Teenage Jesus and The Jerks and The Contortions. The kids who were listening to them also were listening to bands like The Plugz and The Weirdos. There were plenty of sub genres then. They just had different names, and a different sound then the ones today. No one gave a **** then about this stuff. i wouldnt expect you to understand if YOU WERE NOT THERE.

This bro must have just seen "pigeon hole" on TV and is going hogwild with it.

Oh and, I touched on both newer and older hardcore bands FYI. Don't be such a little douche. It's the internet, I thought a 36 year old man would be able to get that...but I guess not.

I hear ya man - you are 100% correct. I am 38 myself and have been going to shows since 1980. These kids dont know a thing, and back in the day the younger punks respected older punks. These days the kids think they know it all, and half of them will be gone in a couple years so screw them. Punks back then didnt care about what genre a band was labeled. If these kids cant understand that then they are morons and scew them.
