Sirius XM Bloody Roots of ’90s Hardcore
Week of April 26, 2014
Sat 4/26, 6PM ET
Sun 4/27, 2PM ET
Tues 4/29, 3PM ET
Thurs 5/1, 9PM ET
This week’s heavy metal history lesson takes a hard look at ten years of hardcore, from the basic NYHC breakdowns of 1990, through the muscular vegan-straightedge-justice militants of the mid-decade, leading to the cracked-up and next-level intensity of the scene at the turn of the century. Tracks by Bane, Judge, Madball, Chokehold, Rorschach, Botch, Skitsystem, Converge, Hatebreed, and many more. Don’t forget the struggle—don’t forget your Roots!
For a white-knuckle hardcore punk education starting at day one, pick up TOUCH + GO: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine ’79-’83, by Tesco Vee and David Stimson, and WE GOT POWER!: Hardcore Punk Scenes from 1980s Southern California, by David Markey and Jordan Schwartz.
