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...

Advent - Demo '98 (members of Silent Majority,... →
I’ve never been able to find much info about this demo, so if any LIHC heads could fill in the details, that would be cool. It has Tommy Corrigan from Silent Majority fronting a heavier style band with three members of Tripface. I wasn’t crazy about it when I first heard it, but after revisiting it recently, it’s quite good. It is definitely a bit of a grower. If you dig...

What Feeds the Fire - Discography (Pre-Verse,... →
I went for breakfast with Hunter this morning, in between playing the Seaweed, Nirvana, and Supersuckers singles in the jukebox we ended up discussing the recent Verse reunion. The consensus was one of not having a problem with it, but not really understanding the excitement.
This led to discussing Sean Murphy’s pre-Verse band, What Feeds the Fire. What Feeds the Fire was just as good as...
Various Artists - All Systems Go! (Tracks you... →
I’m not gonna give much of a description for this, other than saying that’s it’s something of a forgotten classic. It was released in the late 90’s, and I feel like the tracklist speaks for itself. So many great bands covering classic jams. This LP is still available through Ebullition, who only takes wholesale orders over 100$, so get a bunch of friends together and do an...
