Current or broken up? Local or elsewhere?

Current local bands I'd recommend checking out are:
Tough As Nails - http://www.toughasnails.org
Self Inflicted - http://www.bozobits.com/selfinflicted
AK-47 - http://www.akfortyseven.net

Other current bands:
In Stride - http://www.kclange.com/instride/
Blue Monday - http://www.bluexmonday.com
Champion - http://xchampionx.com
Everybody Gets Hurt - http://www.everybodygetshurt.homestead.com
Mental - http://www.bridge9.com/bridgenine/band-mental.php
The Hope Conspiracy - http://www.thehopeconspiracy.net
Modern Life Is War - http://www.modernlifeiswar.net
Most Precious Blood - http://www.mostpreciousblood.com

There are zillions more, but these are just a few I can think of links for. Older bands to check out include The Cro-mags, Agnostic Front, Minor Threat, Chain of Strength, Trial (best hardcore band ever)...seriously, the list is endless. There are a bunch of people here who can give you differing opinions on hardcore bands they like. - Sat, 6 Mar 2004 9:42pm

Brian gave a really good list.
My interest lies in the thrashy-er side of the genre (So I started out liking super intense, faster bands like--MDC, The Neos, DRI)

There is an astounding resurgence in 1980's flavoured Hardcore.
Some of the best Hardcore albums I've ever heard have been released within the last 2 years.
They would include:

Tear It Up-"Nothing to Nothing" (Frankly,anything by these guys is wholeheartedly recommended.)
Vitamin X-"Down The Drain"
And,
DS-13-"Killed By The Kids"

These records will flay the flesh right off your body.
Enjoy. - Sun, 7 Mar 2004 6:00am
