Straight edge/Hardcore thread

I’m on an island called Saba, it’s tiny and beautiful, although it doesn’t have beaches. It’s very friendly overall. Really quite an extraordinary and wonderful place.

A famous village you say? Now I’m curious! I’m sure noise you’ll be able to find in the city. To me it sounds ideal, having a place in a more quiet area and still be able to easily go to the city. I hope it brings you what you need.

Ok, close to st barth! It looks so nice, even without a beach. A little tiny world

Well famous here ahah, I will live in a beautiful village called La Roche-guyon. actually there is a french label “most beautiful villages of France” and this very village is the only one of the huge Paris region to have it. It’s along the seine with a huge castle through the cliffs.

Anyway Let’s stick around together :saluting_face:

Great, looks awesome that castle. Seems like a nice quiet place to live, and by the river!

@Pat_m I was just seeing this documentary. Must be familiar to you!

Thank you!! I know and love the bands but I haven’t seen the documentary :oncoming_fist:t2::exploding_head:

My spiritual children :wink::rofl:

In terms of nowadays french hardcore my personal favorite are : Sorcerer, Headbussa, Cold Decay and Calcine :oncoming_fist:t2:

Headbussa

@Curtis-81 you may like this one ?

And Sorcerer feat. Guilt Trip

(Never judge a book by his cover, I hated it so much it took me a while to listen to it)

Both bands play all over the world, you might see them

Here I am spaming again :grin:

Trying to explain to my parisian friends that a guy living on a 13km2 Caribbean island advised me to watch this documentary ahah

I see these guys every once in a while at shows, that’s pretty cool to put a name and function on them, since the COVID french scene exploded. I’m too old for this but you know the deal, who cares, hc kid for life :oncoming_fist:t2:

I’m also too old I guess but it just stays interesting. I love scene reports, to know how things are in different places. When i come to a new place i always try to visit a show. The last time is too long ago already, it was in Brazil. I hope to visit Bogota soon though, it seems there are exciting concerts and festivals happening.

Since I came out of the hole I was consciously digging for the last 5 years I went to multiple shows. Hardcore, black metal and electronic (synthwave, techno and house) my three favorite genre, but also hard rock, noise, industrial, rock, post metal, grunge etc ahahah. And I see old people everywhere, and I see the youth everywhere. It’s ok, I’ll be at shows until I die or something :saluting_face:

I never really did what you are talking about but I’m starting. Bought a ticket for a festival in Netherlands :man_shrugging:t2:

Bogota will be awesome, all south america is supposed to be crazy about hardcore music

Yeah man, keep on going as long as you love it!!

Cool, where will you go in the netherlands? And what bands will play?

It’s the Revolution Calling Festival

A few bands you might have heard of are playing there, ahah

Oh yeah many big names! I have to admit I don’t know any music of most of them. I’ve had always the tendency to have more curiosity to hearing smaller bands and skipping the big names….. Maybe weird…

Pro-pain i managed to see last year on a small gig in Nl, after having seen them way back in 1995 too, so that was fun.

But cool to look forward to!

I do that too, I mean go for the newcomers, especially at the Hellfest and this kind of big events.

Here it’s mostly headliners, there is plenty of young wolves too don’t worry. And in the end everyone is a little little tiny band in the music industry lol

In terms of comeback: path of resistance + foundation + french :crown: KICKBACK = sold

Yeah i already thought like Path of redistance, wasn’t that a band from 25 years ago? Surprising how many bands still play (or play again) that were around so long ago. Especially counts for metal bands also. In my teenage years i was mostly into metal and so many of those bands from the 90’s still exist. Never expected that.

It’s always cool when young bands get a chance to play with bigger bands.

Yes the path is a pretty old band like me, syracuse, earth crisis + many brothers in arms

These bands are back yes, even in the supposed kid’s genre: hardcore ahah, and I’m at first row

Kickback is back, kickback! With already some scandals on their heads, and a massive attack in the french general press, yes like the headnews department. Incredible.

Tonight, before the mighty combust in Paris, we got three bands, one of them is an edge band from Seattle that sound very Bostonish if you ask me: Odd Man Out :oncoming_fist:t2:

Well you’re getting a good amount of noise in!!

How was the show??

The level of bad english in my last message was beyond my own comprehension, putain merde, I’m sorry lol

The show was so sick man!

Classical HC from japan with Brave Out (shoutout to the drummer in kickback outfit, ballsy), then Odd man out from Seattle. Edge hardcore, massive sound. Their title The Truth is still in my head.

We had Speedway from Sweden then. Classic but not too much, a lot of emotions too, I will dig this band asap

Then Combust, the best NYHC band nowadays, so cool, so groovy, so hiphop and hc all the same NYC way. Freaking goood. And the presence on stage man :fire::crown:

If you’re on Instagram I always post one short video of every band I see since last October : pat__moreau

Combust​:oncoming_fist:t2:

Bought a shirt too, support the scene​:grin:
