Hardcore Punk recommendations?

Baggio...

Hey 'dere,


I'm a big fan of "the Exploited/GBH" etc.

Can anyone recomend some similar hardcore punk type bands. I'm not too mad on mainstream punk to be honest - just the heavier stuff.

Thanks,

B.

OLP

The Varukers, Discharge, Chaos UK, The Casualties, Conflict, The Subhumans, Aus-Rotten, The Restarts, Cheap Sex, Clit 45, Black Flag, Minor Threat.

Baggio...

Hey mate,

Thanks for those. Discharge and minor threat are great bands.

I'll check out the other ones you mentioned.

Cheers,

B.

DropkickDaire

What about Agnostic Front? I've only heard a couple of tracks, but apparently they're very good.

Baggio...

Yeah, AF are great. Prefer Madball tho', I'm mad in NYHC too.

Black NG-60-90

Bad Brains
Black Flag
Reagan Youth
Early AFI
Deviated Instinct
Early Husker Du
Poison Idea

Baggio...

All good bands to be fair. Thanks.

I was more referring to Hard Core punk, if you get my meaning (Exploited, GBH, etc.). As opposed to American Hardcore (which is awesome as well).

Cheers,

B.

Hey AR,

I was listening to the Oi Scouts on youtube - feckin' awesome! Kinda remind me of "A Global Threat".

Any idea where I could buy some of their albums from, I can't find it on Amazon.

Thanks!

The Oi! Scouts are ****ing brilliant, they're easily my favourite band. It's pretty hard to find anything by them or anything about them. But as far as I know they only ever released one album "Boots For The Beatdown" which is amaizing.

After some looking I found a download for ya

I know what your saying; they're not a patch on bands like, say, Special Duties, Chaotic Dischord or Capo Regime:D.

Minor Threat and Bad Brains are my favorite.

Also if you want, you can check out the soundtrack to "American Hardcore: A history of american punk rock".
It'll give you a good start in the way of Hardcore Punk. Has pretty much all of the popular hardcore punk songs from all the popular hardcore bands in it... Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Circle Jerks the whole lot...

godspal

I have seen Minor Threat mentioned here twice but no Fugazi!!! Get 13 Songs its one of the best punk albums out there.

I have 13 songs, but it's not really hardcore punk though...

OLP

Not really that good either IMO, they never really compared to Minor Threat for me

af_thefragile

I like a few songs from Fugazi but they lack the rawness and aggressiveness of Minor Threat. They're not hardcore either. They're post hardcore i think...

See no one has mentioned Dwarves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI0Dd6391Xc

Nice list...

The Stupids are one of my favorite bands of all time.

If you want something a bit more new school than all the aforementioned classics, any of the artists signed to bridge 9 records are a safe bet, and they gig here alot too if yer into the whole live music buzz...

busttropical

Well apparently theres different opinions around what hardcore punk is but some of the new stuff that id consider hardcore (less metal more speed) would be

Strike Anywhere, No Trigger, None More Black, Flatliners(mostly first album), The Bronx (maybe a little more rock), Pour Habit.... Pour habit are the most hilariously good live band ive ever seen!

OLP

Yeah Hardcore basically has different meanings depending on the era

darealtulip

Glad to see everyone is still listening to the classics!! I have most of the above named on vinyl.

These are more punk than hardcore.

Niall Keane

Check out “One by One” from Glasgow around early ‘90’s, “Huasipungo” and “RDP” for Latin hardcore. Early “Coitus”, “Extreme Noise Terror” , “Discharge” and a lot of the other DIS-s. Wouldn’t go with a lot of the US bands but “The Misfits” are classic.
Check out who published with clay records back in the day.
There were some great French HC bands too, can’t remember who they were, but remember one do a fantastic version of a Madonna song. The Berurier Noir had some great ****, and their performances were excellent. Gave all their money to those who refused to be conscripted and went to prison instead.
