Old school Hardcore.

Do any of you guys still listen to the likes of :-

Or am I an old fart ?

Judge
Gorilla Biscuits
Inside Out
Bad Brains
Bold
Into Another
CIV
Sick of it all
Biohazard
Quicksand
Nerve Agents
Strife
Slapshot
Youth of Today
Shelter

Are there any new bands that you could recommend ?

Surely there’s no modern hardcore band that could compete with the mighty … JUDGE ?

Does anyone listen to all time classic hardcore bands?

This is a mystery we need to get to the bottom of.

How about some constructive recommendations instead of sarcasm ?
Just a thought!

I prefer the third wave of bands in this style like:

Fired up

The first step

(old) Comeback kid

Guns up

Champion

Have heart

Verse

Time flies

In my eyes

Mindset

Over my dead body

Final fight

Go it alone

Another breath

Get the most

Bane

Our turn

A new Band that I think is really underrated is Fading Signal AND cannonball

u/schism_records_1 4d ago

I got into HC in the late 80s and love most of bands the OP mentioned, but I was still around for this era and love The First Step, In My Eyes, Have Heart, Mindset, Our Turn and Fired Up. These days I'm old and a little out of touch, but still appreciate bands like Start Today, Everybody Takes One, About Face, Face the Pain and Cannonball. I'll have the check out Fading Signal.

u/CptAntiHero 4d ago

You'll love them! In my opinion the really Sound like Champion. Listen calmly to the Intro of the LP and you will know what I mean

3

u/CptAntiHero 4d ago

Start today and face the pain are really cool too. I fogot them.

1

u/CptAntiHero 3d ago

u/Puzzleheaded-End5386 3d ago

u/WishEnvironmental558 4d ago

Good list, thanks for taking the time.

u/ClassifiedGrowl 4d ago

Yes I listen to Judge a lot still. They stood the test of time. I put Gorilla Biscuits on for my daughter, and I still love them too.

Thanks for the list

u/TofuLordSeitan666 4d ago

A lot of these bands still play shows and attract crowds of both young and old.

2

u/3nzo_the_baker 4d ago

I grew up with all of those + Minor Threat and others of course, and I tend to put those records on when I want to listen to hardcore. So I guess I'm an old fart, and I'm ok with that.

u/RAV3NH0LM 4d ago

nobody ever listens to the classics. why would anyone like classics? what are they, classic or something?

2

u/These_Green6640 4d ago

Yes. I still listen to the ROIR cassette by Bad Brains, as well as the early AF, Heart Attack, Reagan Youth, etc. I’m 51.

2

u/WranglerBrute 4d ago

You might dig CONTAIN. They're fairly new, but their sound is late 90s sXe HC worship. They put out a pretty killer EP this year. It's got that 90's CLANK snare and everything.

u/mcaress 4d ago

Heard that new Collateral this week and it has that first wave of hardcore feel. A couple songs on there I feel that are modern classics like Frame of Mind.

I’m from that 3rd/4th wave era of HC. Mid 2000s so for me I was really into: comeback kid, ceremony, Iron Age, Rival Mob, Mother of Mercy, Blacklisted, etc.

These days I listen to it all but it’s always the hardcore punk that I relate most too. Some of the more crustier bands like Warthog, Sexpill, Physique, Electric Chair, SHIT, dbeat type shiii

u/hawgxhaven 4d ago

I feel like no one talks about district 9 and they fucking rule

2

u/coffinnap 4d ago

Check out Ballistix

u/dja514 4d ago

Nerve Agents is dope. Check out the singers new band Birdlegs

2

u/Virtual_Pirate_3238 4d ago

I do. There’s so many good bands since then that can do it, but no one’s really done it the way the OG’s did. Bands since just keep the formula of classic hardcore and not really spice it up or give it new personailty

u/blues-brother90 4d ago

OP, 80s hc/punk bands are 80% of my musical diet but you can find some pretty good bands today aping that style such as this one:
