We’re taking a page out of the Axe To Grind playbook and doing a Year In Hardcore episode about 2018, a year that had a massive lasting impact and set the stage for a lot of stuff happening today - join us on 5/16 for part 2
Today, we set the table and talk about: Restraining Order/Regional Justice Center/Gulch/Rule Them All/Section H8/Be All End All/Sunstroke/Somerset Thrower/Wound Man/Berthold City/Super Unison/Mil-Spec/Candy/Fiddlehead/Drug Church/Self Defense Family/Vein/Jesus Piece/Turnstile/Harms Way/Twitching Tongues/True Love/Hopesfall/Terror/Madball/Sick Of It All
Big takeaways from part 1: Ian Shelton is the Michael Jordan of DIY ethics/Trevor Vaughan is probably the Larry Bird of them/Jim is a Mil-Spec superfan/Fiddlehead and Drug Church ushered in the modern era of HC-adjacent music/Jon Markson is the next Kurt Ballou/Vein are the most innovative HC band/One note of a Jesus Piece song would make a founding father’s head explode/Time & Space deserved a better Pitchfork review/Posthuman is like Sparknotes for Godflesh/Twitching Tongues validated Troycore and Pete Steele worship/The new Terror record will change HC forever/Madball and Sick Of It All are super reliable
