The guests on that "What Are You Listening To" YT show I posted somewhere were talking about some "giant separate HC scene" and I imagine Turnstile fits that - are they sponsored by anyone? It's a band name that would fall under, don't wanna hear them just from the name but had to investigate...This is a huge show and the sound is definitely more of a hybrid...

googling them, there is a big sponsorship company with the same name!

Randall those free scion split singles were sweet though. my fav local shop would included coupons in their weekly emails - show the coupon, get a single while they lasted

    May have mentioned this before; I'm digging this snotty Hattiesburg hardcore. Six songs, around 6 minutes. Silo Kids demo

      Ha! In my world, Kasshuve's EP is recent, but it was released in 2020. Anyway, really good stuff

      sick! i missed this one... the hattiesburg crew are so fucken cool. played there in 2018 and was blown away by what they were doing in such a small town with limited resources. and just the love of putting on shows and trying to find ways to keep things interesting. we were the only out of towner when we played so they set up a support band battle royal with this big digital clock counting down 10 minutes, each band had to play one song, change instruments, and were eliminated if they were still playing when the timer was out. winner got to headline the show with a full set. coolest thing i've ever seen!

          Uptown ruler 666 420 MURO and YELLOWCAKE are the best two current hc bands

          Holy shit, Yellowcake are intense

            BARELY HUMAN when we played so they set up a support band battle royal with this big digital clock counting down 10 minutes, each band had to play one song, change instruments, and were eliminated if they were still playing when the timer was out. winner got to headline the show with a full set. coolest thing i've ever seen!

            Wow! That is so hilarious and genius

              Toxic State coming out with a Nisemono LP sometime soon most exciting thing for me

              sicboy
              in light of the egg punk drama i'll enthusiastically +1 the "members of snooper" band G.U.N. being one of the best recent LPs i've heard

                    Fresh new combo out of Truro, Nova Scotia, featuring 50% of the people who made the aforementioned Misanthropic Minds 7".

                      Ruby I swear every new Nova Scotia punk band that comes across my various feeds includes Cody haha

                            sicboy Yes, Cody's the genius of these parts. Things would be mighty bleak without him.

                              I asked this over on the see/saw discord, but I figured I'd ask here too. I feel like I'm missing some formative hardcore history. Listening to some of the recent crop of more "weirdo" hardcore bands (Lasso, Electric Chair, Ancient Filth being three in particular), I'm realizing I'm not sure where a lot of these sounds came from! The answer is likely that they're influenced by lots of stuff outside of hardcore, but am I missing out on influential bands? Obvious reference point for EC is Poison Idea, but otherwise I'm trying to trace back some of these sounds to the source and feeling like I have some major gaps in my knowledge.

                                terminalsunset Havent' heard the other two but Electric Chair doesn't sound "weird" in any kind of way to me? Just classic sounding, straight-up early eighties influenced USHC, ie they probably listen to Jerry's Kids and the Boston not L.A comp? Correct me if I'm wrong, I think I only listened to their first 7''.

                                  I also wouldn't consider any of them weird either. Just classic USHC like you said. Maybe bringing in some 'weirdness' via Void

                                    sicboy I see what you mean with Void, but at this point they've influenced so many bands that whatever felt "weird" about them... Well, it doesn't anymore? Still the best though, don't get me wrong.

                                        ratcharge Fully agree. I see the new(ish) crop of bands like this (Electric Chair, etc) as a sort of continuation of what was happening in the 00s with labels like Painkiller and No Way.

                                        edited to add...it's 100% my favorite 'flavor' of hardcore

                                          I guess I'm using "weirdo" to differentiate from the more macho muscley hardcore. Electric Chair is probably one of the easier to pin down in terms of influence, although some of the guitar leads are really out of left field to my ear in a good way! Lasso is the most recent band I heard where I just felt like I didn't have the requisite reference points to know precisely what I was listening to. They're from Brazil, so maybe I need to dive deeper into that scene at large?
