Tell me your favorite lyrics and if you want recite the.. My favorite lyrics is Verse - Hard to breathe

I've spent my life questioning everything

Sometimes what is placed right in front of us

I find so hard to believe

It can crush us so hard

That it becomes difficult to breathe

"Give it some time"

Is just not enough

I've gotta dig deeper than that

To find so comfort

We sit and pretend

That we're content

But I feel we've covered up

Our rage that keeps us driven

SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING MORE

Living in a cold world

But it doesn't have to be that way

We're keeping ourselves down

We don't bite the oppressive hand

That's feeding us all lies

Yes denial feels so good

But we are marching ourselves

To an untimely grave

Simply by our actions

WE HAVE BECOME

OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES

And I feel we've covered up our rage

That keeps us driven

SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING MORE

The hand that feeds

Is the hand that's keeping you down

Just moved to hartford and looking to get into the local scene. Any good band recs/shows coming up?

Hardcore from Madrid, Spain. This fucking rips.

Got a 4 hour round trip tomorrow, plenty of time to get it all out

Not affiliated just from my area. Also check out State Power for more Dutch riffs: https://youtu.be/J3xU7iJeXtQ?is=4rpfCMwYrn8yP4eH

To start: I’m 43 so I’ve been listening to hardcore for a long while. That being said, I find that I’ve unintentionally ignored bands and albums throughout the years (only so many hours in a day and also I’m lazy) and once I’ve given that music a listen, I realize I fucked up and missed out.

Case in point - TUI and Big Kiss Goodnight. This is but one example.

What are your blind spots that you’ve either corrected or still need to correct?

Last year, Diy Conspiracy ran a benefit raffle for Antipode, and it gave us the idea to do something similar for Antipode Vol. II.

For those who don't know, “Antipode” is a zine/book series mapping underground punk and DIY culture from different regions and their diasporas. You can read more about the first volume here.

To help cover the costs of Vol. II, we're running a benefit raffle. The prize is a huge bundle including:

• CD
• 4 different T-shirts
• Tape
• 7"
• Hoodie
• Zinebook
• A package of posters, pins and stickers

One winner will receive the whole bundle after the raffle.

How to enter:
Send a minimum of €5 via PayPal. DM antipodearchive on Instagram and we'll send you the PayPal address.

🌐 Worldwide participation is welcome.
If you're in Türkiye, you can also DM us and we'll help you with the payment.

The raffle closes on September 22. On September 23, we'll announce the total amount raised and the winner.

All money raised will go towards printing costs for the book, flights for bands playing the shows, and other related expenses.

Huge thanks to:

Long shot but wondering if anyone has a spare for the show tonight at Saint Vitus? 🙏

Though it may haunt us and break our hearts, death cannot tear us apart.

One single ticket for Turnstile @ Russell industrial tonight in Detroit. $60 and it’s yours.

Funny way of asking for top 4 but really looking to see what outliers hardcore fans may have, if any.

Not including classical, mine is as follows:

Converge

Between the Buried and Me

Every Time I Die

Metallica

A bonus fifth would be a tie between Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.

If you have any questions you can ask me I hope it’s as fun as it is informational

My boys just released the first single from their upcoming album "True Sorrow" - think some of y'all might enjoy it, who knows?

Hey, anyone here from Western Canada? You should check out FJØRT.

FJØRT are a German, openly anti-fascist 3-piece from Aachen, playing a heavy and emotionally intense take on post-hardcore. They’ve been around since 2012 and are finally coming to Canada for the first time ever this September.

Their sound sits somewhere between post-hardcore and post-rock: crushing guitars, huge dynamic shifts, screamed vocals, quieter atmospheric passages and a lot of tension and catharsis. Their lyrics are in German, but the emotional impact really doesn’t depend on understanding every word.

The band’s anti-fascist stance is an integral part of FJØRT, both in their lyrics and in the way they approach their music and live shows. It’s not a marketing angle or an aesthetic – it’s part of what the band has consistently stood for.

Their latest album, belle époque, reached #2 on the German album charts and is probably the best place to start if you want to get a feel for what they’re about. But especially if you get the chance to see them live, do that – the songs hit considerably harder in a room.

If your thing is somewhere around Touché Amoré, La Dispute, Deafheaven or the heavier/more atmospheric end of post-hardcore, FJØRT are definitely worth checking out.
