POWERVIOLENCE

Fucking metalheads and hardcore assholes stand united.

If it falls somewhere between hardcore and grindcore this is probably the best place for it.

Favorite lesser known PV band?

Mostly modern, but older is cool too. Mine is probably Healer— their ep Resurgence is definitely top 10 pv releases of the last 15 years for me.

Oh fucks sake this is the 20th year I've celebrated my 30th..... Someone will catch on 😷

Drumming tips

I recently joined a PV band as both a vocalist and a drummer. I'm slightly new to drumming unfortunately, so I have no idea where to start.

What are some techniques used by like PV bands for drums? IIRC a blastbeat is one of them but I'm not sure.

If it helps, the PV bands I usually listen to are like, Infest, Sordo, Despise You, Powerxchuck, and Apartment 213.

Thanks in advance!:)

Is this album considered PV?

They are clearly more on the grind side but could they be considered PV? Thanks.

Maryland Users - New Band looking for Guitarist!

Hello! Earlier this year I got some people together for a Cybergrind/Metalcore/Nintendocore/Powerviolence band called The Party Asteroid Apocalypse (yep, after the Combatwoundedveteran song). Though we hadn't yet gotten together to write the songs beyond some preliminary ideas I had, I got us a gig on December 15th in Frederick figuring we could get together and crank out a few songs in just a few months if we really put our noses to the grindstone.

Then half the guys in the band had to pull out due to life circumstances. And we still have the show in 6 weeks.

So I'm reaching out to the community - if there's anybody here who can write a mean fast guitar riff, WE WANT YOU!

In terms of our style, The Party Asteroid Apocalypse currently consists of myself on vocals and my friend Rose doing synths and drum programming (yep, drum machine band). While I identify more strongly with Powerviolence than other genres (hence why I'm posting about it in this sub), this is a project heavily influenced by Grindy bands like Yacopsae and PV-adjacent bands like early Nails, as well as synth-driven Metalcore bands like HORSE the Band, The Locust (are The Locust considered PV?), and Teen Cthulhu, though I also love classics like Infest and Charles Bronson.

If you're interested, RESPOND FAST! If you know somebody who might be interested, LET THEM KNOW!

Adelaide, South Australia: Powerviolence is back.

A new band my brother and house mate started with a lad who recently moved from Canberra: NSW & a wild ass drummer who is arguably one of the best drummers in South Australia. They're called Success. Have a sus at their EP on bandcamp, it's wild to see this genre of music being nailed so hard on the head in a city that's been nothing but beatdown/hardcore for at least a decade now.

https://successhc.bandcamp.com/album/the-fools-game

There's the link to their bandcamp. Give it a listen (it's free) and if you enjoy it, show the boys some support.

Side note, after playing three shows they opened for Spy at their Adelaide show on their Australia tour in August this year.

Keep it real, ya'll.
