Ever get that straight edge book that Victory put out a few years ago? Reflections on straight edge or something? Almost everyone she interviewed said the whole straight edge thing got stupid and they'd subsequently broke their edge.

All Ages?

wasnt it Revelation who put that book out?

 

[RSJ]

Ah ok, for some reason i had victory in my head.

Interesting article on sxe here by the way.

I bought a Carlow straight edger a pint a few years back. He drank it as well.

Maybe it was his night off.

No For An Answer were the typical turncoat band. The singer Dan O' Mahoney was a prominent figure in the straight edge movement of the 80's, Now he run a chain of pubs in LA.

Probably why they sounded so great! "Young man drinks! Young man drives! Vision blurs! Young man dies! WITH-OUT REA-SON, WITH-OUT-REASON, WOOOARGH!!

Hardcore for the hardcore:

No For An Answer.
SSD.
Negative Approach.
Faith.
Cro-Mags (I think the second album is great too).


Youth Crew for the youth crew:

Gorilla Biscuits.
Youth of Today.
Bold.
Judge.
Chain of Strenght.


I was never insanely into the likes of Madball, Murphy's Law, Agnostic Front (except for Victim in Pain), Sick of it All and so on, but they've all got some great stuff...

More recent great hardcore (but generally of the faster variety):
Life's Halt.
No Reply.
What Happens Next?
Direct Control.


If you like the tuff shit, then any of the early Earth Crisis is amazing for floor punchage...Indecision were amazing, that Release The Cure album still floors me...Throwdown are so tuff you'll probably punch yourself in the face when you listen to them...also Integrity...so much more that I can't remember right now...

Actually this is pretty spot-on Corm.

I'd add a few of my own in there. i kinda came in during the 90s as a wee metaller so I liked the tougher or a bit metally stuff like Earth Crisis, Snapcase, Strife, Downset etc
Stuff like Integrity kinda passed me by but i dig them now


From there I was really into the 90s vegan metal shitlike Culture, Morning Again and what not.

Also loved those chugga bands - Buried Alive, Another Victim, and early Hatebreed are all still absolutely fuckin amazing!!!! Buried Alive is seriously one of my fave bands ever - I like Terror but BA shits on them.

I still like a fair bit of "toughguy" stuff like Crown of Thornz, and early Madball, actually everything up to Hold it Down is alright, the later stuff's weak but listenable and fun live.

90s youthcrew revival was also sweet - In My Eyes, Floopunch, Bane, Ten Yard Fight, Section 8, Outlast, Mouthpiece and Hands Tied (amazing)

 

[RSJ]

Rebirth of hardcore pride, wha.

Some of them bands were amazing. Did you ever listen to Stormcore from France? They were fuckin deadly. So evil. Fuckin' H8000 dude!

Yeah, it was definitely Revelation Records who put that book out. I thought it was pretty great. I think I've still got it somewhere upstairs. Some brilliant photos and flyers in there, mostly of Cappo and Porcell's huge shnozzes.
