Former guitarist for expire, now the singer for Stone called out for numerous sexual assaults, since then stone has been dropped from their next couple tours and seems to be breaking up, also there are allegations coming out against members of terror, which looks like it may lead to them being removed from the tour as well.

There have been rumors of a few guys in that “crew” being creeps, so I guess I’m not shocked. They’re also kooks regardless and their music is trash. I saw Stone once and it was literally as if I was in some weird alternate reality based on a random outsider’s perception of what Hardcore is, from the music to the choreography.

I mean, listen to this shit (also note the guitar player’s Coal Chamber t-shirt OMG ironic!):

Standard vegan straight edge Hardcore band stuff: Vocalist's an entitled, meat head douche who often attempted to bully other bands, audience members, and organizers, leaving them with difficulty getting shows. Basic wannabe Hardline kookery. There were also unfound rumors of, lets just say "FAR RIGHT" leanings, though knowing 2 of the other dudes in the band, I find that unlikely.
[close]

I (think) I saw them once and (I think) I remember their singer not being white, so "FAR RIGHT" rumors seem bizarre. I'm hesitant to bring it up because small scene rumors about pretty standard bands make me feel silly.

Speaking of Chicago, I finally got around to listening to the new Racetraitor EP and it delivers! Pissed and dark and punishing. I think this band's sound and politics were both ahead of their time and quintessentially 90s. As such, this reboot release sounds like classic Racetraitor and fits right in with the current political climate.

https://racetraitor-hc.bandcamp.com/album/invisible-battles-against-invisible-fortresses

For those unfamiliar, this is the drummer from Fall Out Boy's old (and current again) political metalcore band. No joke.
I never liked racetraitor. Too much reactionary preaching that didn’t seem genuine over music that was pretty standard for the time. Also “Burn the Idol of the White Messiah” may be the worst album title of all time (“Wow! They don’t like white people! Super edgy!”). Basically they were a suburban, Metalcore, dickhead, Islam influenced, novelty obsessed version of Los Crudos (one of my favorite bands and in my opinion one of the most important hardcore bands ever).

That said, Andy has always been cool, and I still see him out and about from time to time, not really at shows though. Last show I saw him at he was playing with that shit band Enabler band who like the band in the previous post, had a vocalist who was a scum bag waste of life.

Hey IcanthelpitIrippedofFinland, fuck off you elitist prick. 
Harm's Way is damn great, been a fan for a while now. Super stoked for their new album that comes out next week:
https://youtu.be/8QW8Ag5iwj8
Sounds like a good mix between Isolation and Rust, groovy and heavy.
I really want to catch them on tour soon.

I'm also really into Vein. latelly. They're mental!

Cant wait for a full release.

I remember reading a long interview in (I'm pretty sure it was...) Heartattack zine, with Racetraitor and got the record without having heard them before. Listened once and filed away. I agree 100% with Crudos being the most important band of the 90s. Martin is such a genuinely nice guy. Ebro too. Crudos, Spazz, Rorschach, M.I.T.B, Born Against, Copout, HHIG, held me down in the 90s.

I've been listening to punk and going to punk and hardcore shows for like 13 years and I still feel so uneducated about so many bands and so many subgenres. I've tried to get into Scandinavian/Japanese/raw punk/dbeat more times than I can count.

honestly their recent live footage looks so tight. I haven't seen them live since the late 90s but they really have grown as a band so much and it shows when they play live. you ever seen this?

Great to hear that there's young-ins out there who are into them.
Do you know about ISPY, swallowing shit and all those other amazing bands that came out of the peg in the mid 90s too?
Painted Thin is one of my fav bands of all time (though defs not hardcore)

ISPY has Todd from propgandhi on vocals so you know it's good. All of those bands shared members back in the day. Is it Jason Tait? He was like in every band from Winnipeg ever! Swallowing shit is worthy though and very relevant to this thread. In fact:

I'm right there with you. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before in this thread, but they sound like a "Mall-ified" Shelter-meets-Snapcase hybrid to me. Caught a live set of theirs in St. Louis years ago, and I have to admit, they fucking killed, even with the embarrassing, corny ass white boy dance moves the lead singer has. Pretty sure there were less than 10 females in the crowd (in a club, no less), which isn't an insinuation or anything, just an observation.

Cool interview. It's pretty incredible that 2 of the best Hardcore labels of the 90s were created by members of the same band.

Cool interview.  I never knew how deep the history was for No Use For A Name.

Kinda crazy to see the name Black Army Jacket (interviewers band), just cause I haven't heard that name in awhile.  Their demo tape is awesome, definitely worth tracking down.

Off topic, but I've recently come to the conclusion that Boston produced my favorite American HC during the first wave.  I was thinking about how many great full-length LP's that came out of there:

The first SSDecontrol, Negative FX, F.U's, Jerry's Kids, Vile, Proletariat, Siege, and what I consider the best HC comp ever, This Is Boston Not L.A.   

Boston HC gets a bad-rap as being meatheaded and jockish but I don't think they were any worse than any other regional scene.

yeah, that plus they are having a foursome with living color and early RHCP. I'm old but I've got an older HC friend and he sent me a link of one of their videos and he is like, "this is HC in the late 2010s, dudes squawk" and then the singer squawks during one the breakdowns. I don't know why but that always made me laugh.

yeah, the NUFAN history was pretty deep. I remember buying one of their older albums when I was really into fat bands and thinking wtf? is this? Funny that a few years later I'd be really into Spazz (and not realizing the connection). Never heard of that GASP album either so I downloaded it yesterday. I imagine it would be mad fun to listen to while high af on some crazy hash...

Reading back through, there is so much that I've not heard of. I'm guessing some of you guys grew up listening to it all though. I grew up listening to nu-metal and punk because that's the late 90s early 00s summed up in the alt-music world haha. Your Demise got me into hardcore about 9 years ago, I've still probably only really scratched the surface.

New Hank Wood and the Hammerheads came out yesterday and its.... pretty good?  I'm not sure yet.

Way more polished than their previous two; it reminds me of some late 80's garage bands like The Cynics (which is weird).  I miss the chaos of the first two albums.  My friend said it reminded him of The Murder City Devils (which was NOT a compliment), which now that it's in my head is hard to shake.  Maybe I don't like this album.

Doesn't even really belong in the hardcore thread at this point, but FUCK I love the first LP so much I'm putting it here anyways.  Fantastic live band, though.

Yeah, it feels a lot slower and less frantic. I'd rather just listen to the last 2 albums.
