Because touching grass is for herbs
Welcome to /r/hardcore- a subreddit dedicated to hardcore music!
Please take a moment to read our posting guidelines!
POSTING GUIDELINES
* Hardcore is a broad genre, used to describe many styles of music, but the focus of this sub is on the Hardcore Punk genre that originated in the late 1970s. We’re a democratic sub that mostly allows the user votes to decide what is Hardcore and what is not, so if you post a band that toes the line, don’t be offended if you’re directed elsewhere. Check out our Friends and Family list to see if your post would be more relevant in another sub.
* News and discussion posts are encouraged. New tours, music, bands, etc. are encouraged as well as older bands and songs. We don’t have a banned artist list, but try to refrain from just posting popular songs and bands that everyone already knows and loves.
* Hardcore is at its core a DIY genre. Bands and labels are typically funding their releases and tours out of pocket. Pirated content or leaks will be removed, as well as any posts soliciting pirated content/leaks.
* Promoting your own band/label/etc. is allowed. We do ask that you contribute to the sub in ways other than exclusively plugging your own projects.
* Use of hate speech of any kind will result in a permanent ban without warning. Racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, etc. and general disrespect of other users will not be tolerated. Hardcore is obviously not immune to controversies surrounding these issues so keep any debates or discussions civil. If you're here from another sub to brigade or start shit, you will be banned without warning.
* Download codes must be posted in the stickied download code thread.
* Avoid low-effort meme posts. Low-effort shitposts may be removed at the moderator's discretion, but for the most part we let the upvotes and downvotes sort it out.
* Our spam filter is pretty strict towards new accounts to combat the porn bots, so please refresh the page after posting anything. Message us if your post isn’t showing up and we’ll approve it.

Keep chuds out of hardcore
Saw this racist trash on the bandcamp releases for today. Why is this shit becoming a trend in hardcore again?
- OLC sample saying hardcore is for whites only
- shitty guilty of being white cover
We need to get chuds out of our scene. This is what happens when too many of you tolerate this shit.

Looking for show livestreams
I'm disabled and can't physically leave the house often. Shows that get livestreamed are usually big shiny arena level acts- are there any venues or bands you know who stream their shows, even little local places? I'd appreciate any names. Thanks

What the fuck happened to this band?
Eternal Suffering - Promises Unfulfilled (1998)
These guys are probably my favorite brutal death metal band of all time. They were decently popular in the hardcore scene in the late 90s and early 00s. However, they pretty much dropped off the face of the earth after that.
According to The Metal Archives, their guitarist died a few years ago, but other than that I can’t find much info. Can any of the veterans in the scene give me any stories of this band? They were waaaaaay ahead of their time. It honestly sounds like something that could come out today.
I’d ask this on the death metal sub, but I figure they would have no clue who these guys are. Plus, they were very much catering to the hardcore scene with their sound.

Soul Glo is the greatest hardcore band operating right now.
Just saw them live and I’m convinced they are the best in the game. Their last album was incredible and they are truly about the cause. I highly highly recommend If you haven’t heard of them and yeah, they’re the best.

The truth about straight edge
I'm an old head and I've discovered that there are two truths about straight edge.
- Straight edge kids don't know shit.
- Straight edge kids are right.
Substance use is a pit with steep, greased sides. Once you start to slip in, it's very difficult to crawl out. Most straight edge kids don't know this - they just hate or are afraid of mind altering substances. But once you start fucking with them, you're drawn in. The more you fuck with it, the more it sucks you in.
Straight edge kids maybe heard about this or have seen it, but they don't know it.
But they're right. You start fucking with mind altering substances, they will get some sort of grip on you eventually. Once that happens, it's never the same. It's very hard to go back.
It's not hard to be a straight edge kid. It's just being a scared kid. Getting sober, getting in control, when you've seen what it's like to not be in control is difficult. This is not a slight on straight edge. I'm just saying it's much harder to get a grip once you've lost control.
I'm putting this out as a former edge kid. If you're questioning your resolve, you need to know that you're better off. You're right. I don't wish an addiction struggle on anyone.

Sunami Houston Show Nov 2 - Free Ticket
Is anyone in here going to that? My friend bailed on his ticket that I got for him and I have been unable to find anyone to take his place. Its a free ticket, don’t feel like refunding it. Sorry, I don’t use this site as much, but mods can delete this if it goes against the rules. If interested, do let me know.

Withdrawal / Krieg split out today
The full split is up for streaming. Thank you to anyone who checked out “Humiliation” the other day.
We changed gears and went for a funeral pace for the other song on the split. If you want to hear what it would sound like if Thou listened to All Out War, here’s your chance.
Only about 10 special edition press copies remain so I don’t think they’ll last the weekend, act fast! Includes a semi-translucent screen printed alternate cover and a short zine featuring a bunch of paranoid rambling.

I need help for finding an album
Not to long ago I came across an hardcore-album(or EP) on Spotify, that had a skeleton throwing dices on the cover. I remember it went hard music wise but I forgot the name of both album and band. Would be nice, if anyone could Help me with this.
P.S. They also had a single, where a clown got curb stomped on the cover.

Your worst injury at a show?
The first show I went to I didn’t know what I was doing and went the opposite way in a circle pit and got stitches above my eye. I’ve been punched in the face a few times. 2 weeks ago I was standing way too close to the sound monitor and I still have tinnitus in my right ear. That’s after nearly 20 years of shows I consider myself unscathed
