“Most of all I hope I never see someone reading a book at a hardcore show again in my life. It’s cool that you’re smart or whatever, but you look like a pretentious idiot who wants to show off how intellectual you are by reading at a SOCIAL event. You’re not hear to socialize…
So if someone goes to a show alone, or even if they know people there, what’s the...

Stay Gold - Complete Discography (includes stuff... →
How do you tell a band is great? When they set out to rip off another band, and then completely outdo the band they intended to rip off. That’s what Stay Gold did. Some of their members saw Faded Grey, and immediately said “I want to play THAT style of Hardcore!”. This lead the formation of arguably the best ‘Melodic Hardcore’ band ever. It’s a style of Hardcore...

Weight - Demo '07 (Lucas MacFadden of Go It... →
Weight (not be confused with the incredible country band from Georgia/New York; The Weight) was a studio only two man project that recorded a demo tape that was only available at a couple of shows. Lucas MacFadden played drums and sang (remember the extra vocals on Water Finds It’s Own Level), and Graham Honeyman on guitar and bass. This demo is fantastic, it sounds a little like Histories...

Retrace - Demo 2006 (Eric Wallace of Go It... →
Retrace was a very short lived Seattle based Hardcore band. They released this four song demo tape, and played one show. All of the music was written by Eric Wallace of GIA/Black Breath. Had this band stuck around, they could have blown up. This demo could have passed for Vancouver Gold Pt 2.
There really isn’t much else to say about this demo, other than the fact that’s better than...

Mike Judge and Old Smoke - Sights →
It recently came to my attention that the Mike Judge LP is suddenly doing for 40-70$ on Ebay. This is pretty mind blowing. I bought this LP for 8$ in like 2004 or 2005 because it was still in print over a decade after it was released. What’s so strange is that something that took that long to go out of print is suddenly sought after.
This record is great, but it’s extremely different...

Descendents/All - Everything Sucks Demos (Includes... →
Alright, instead of giving a lengthy description of these tracks, I’m just gonna discuss something that drives me nuts. Why do the Descendents get jocked so hard on here, but no one discusses All. They were, for songwriting purposes, the same band. Bill Stevenson wrote all the best songs for both bands, and the best All songs are just as good as the best Descendents songs. Both bands had...

None More Black - Rarities →
So, despite no one really caring about that OnGuard post, I’m posting this NMB stuff because http://christianbeale.tumblr.com/ was stoked on it. Hopefully I few others will be as well.
None More Black’s line up has changed drastically over their years of existence, but during that time they’ve had members of the following bands: Kid Dynamite, Kill Your Idols, Deathcycle,...

I wonder how many asks I would get accusing me of not listening to the bands I post stuff by, accusing me of only existing on the internet, critiquing every opinion I share etc…
The messages that get sent to some of the girls I follow on here are fucking insane. Dudes, if you’re feeling threatened because women are into what you’re into you should deal with it in ways other than...

OnGuard - Nine Track Discography (Jason Shevchuk... →
OnGuard was a Jason Shevchuk’s solo recordings made after None More Black broke up. They (or he? I’m just gonna with they) never had a proper release, although a couple tracks did make it onto compilations and there was a digital demo available online for a minute through Myspace. Since they never had a proper release, they never got much attention, but some of these recordings are...

Why am I still involved in Hardcore?
This post is mostly for my friends, because I know they’ll get it.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and had a good conversation about it with James the other night. This might be a little scattered, so bear with me. I think what it comes down to is that hardcore isn’t really something I’m involved with, because that doesn’t do it justice. Hardcore is the...

Blue Monday - Complete Discography (VANCOUVER... →
I haven’t put up any music for download in a while, I haven’t really been motivated to upload anything lately. Hopefully this gets me going again.
Where to even start with this band? One of the best NWHC bands ever, released one of the best Hardcore LPs of the last decade, and then somehow followed it up with even better material on their final release. It’s incredibly rare that...
