Plunge into the shaved-headed pit this week as we knock heads with the metal-saturated sounds of 1990s hardcore. Pasting together metal guitar riffs, pummeling drums, and heartfelt meaningful messages, we scour the globe for 1990s-era beatdowns from this polished era of DIY hardcore expression including Strife (pictured), Rorschach, Converge, Earth Crisis, Madball, Inside Out, Candiria, Integrity, Botch, Hatebreed, Skitsystem, DxSx-13, and many more. Support the scene—know your Roots!
Stand in unity with bands like Madball, Rorschach, Born Against, Earth Crisis, and Strife in the books NYHC: New York Hardcore 1980–1990 and STRAIGHT EDGE: A Clear-Headed Hardcore Punk History, by Tony Rettman (with forewords by Freddy Madball and CIV).
