rolling punk 2020

some good stuff there, although I wasn't blown away by some of those (Loud Night, Warwound, the Lebenden Toten one is a live album so it's all songs I already have)

my favourites on there are Clock of Time, Permission, Geld, Muro (both records) & Subdued. also liked Kobra, Cadenaxo, Mutant Strain, Destruct and Life.

cool. i'm mostly down with Misantropic, Exploatör, Parasit, Geld and 偏執症者 (Paranoid) all nommed in our eoy heavy poll

Pretty good list imo:

i love it

i was thinking we could just have a decadal rather than yearly thread since these threads rarely get more than a couple dozen posts it's not too unwieldy. could get a mod to change it to 2020-2029

really nice tape by taqbir from morroco

i know this thread's for new releases but i'd never heard this before, old early 80s nyhc feat. members of bad brains
and cro mags

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPQmC-Yrk6I

That Taqbir is excellent, thank you.

I'd missed this when it was a cassette last year, and missed the LP version last month but I'll be on it when it's re-pressed!

https://urgerecords.bandcamp.com/album/s-t-lp

great Finnish hardcore, kinda metal/Motörhead sounding

https://violentspirit.bandcamp.com/album/fire

some of this is probably too garage-y/sheer mag-y for the real punks, but i'm loving the new album "tears of joy" by chicago's own the sueves: https://thesueves666.bandcamp.com/

singer has that pee-chees/makers brat voice that i'm a sucker for

I like that Taqbir EP a lot. Also liked Poison Ruin and Sueves.

thx! i love the band name oily boys

enjoying new chubby. i was worried they'd sold out/gone country for the first minute of this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pskmu0GsOA

have ticket to see Chubby & The Gang in December. imagine that, going to see a band live. I mean hopefully that won't be the first time I see that happen.

they're only touring uk, right?

in theory my first live experience since March 2020 is gonna be a garage rock all-dayer in July but it's literally the day after my 2nd vaccine so that might not happen. some good bands tho and it's free. Dirty Contacts/Baron Four/Oh! Gunquit. might be outside the remit of this thread

xp afaik yeah

Runaways vibe

Totally checks out that ILM is dead silent about the new Turnstile record.

I like them. Saw them the year Time & Space came out and it was a blast.

Same, they're very fun live. All these new preview tracks are dope and unexpectedly accessible for pop crossover.

This is definitely the first time I've heard any hardcore attempting Wincing The Night Away / Target-commercial millennial whoops. And it's actually somehow good.

liking it a heck of a lot actually

re: new Turnstile

There isn't a rolling punk 2021 that I can find so I'll post this here.

The Bronx never much impressed me and their Mariachi El Bronx stuff made me roll my eyes.
However the new album that came out today has a spark to it that hits the spot nicely.
It's catchy without being pop-punk a la some of my favorite albums by Supersuckers and Speedealer.

the new turnstile record is fucking great

really want someone to turn the piano intro at the start of "fly again" into a drill instrumental

yeah enjoying both the the turnstile and the bronx records. I never really like the bronx but this is fun.

also the new Chubby and the Gang is fun, not sure if this is wear I would share this

https://www.stereogum.com/2159365/someone-pooped-in-the-pit-at-turnstiles-santa-cruz-show-and-it-ended-up-on-the-stage/news/

probably a good time for one of those 'whats on your ipod' playlists. or whatever the 2021 equivalent is

new Turnstile gave me Third Eye Blind vibes

Saw the Bronx open for Dropkick (yuk) and Rancid at an outdoor show last night. They were...really good? In fact, they were great! Really surprising tbh.
Rancid were shambolic and excellent per usual, hadn't seen them in more than two decades. Had a nice time despite the swarms of Dropkick fans.

idg turnstile. sounds like incubus

i know “hardcore” and “hardcore punk” are 2 diff genres (also chubby and the gang are the latter and totally fair game itt) and the former is more of an outgrowth of emo/metal but i was surprised to read on pitchfork that the most innovative thing a hardcore band can do in 2021 is sound like radio alt rock

They've definitely moved more rock as time goes on but I'm kinda here for it. If Incubus grew up raised by Snapcase.

The surprise veering into non-hardcore directions is consistent with the first two albums. This new one definitely jumps around more frequently and heads down more adventurous avenues, but it would sound gimmicky to me if the record wasn't just as solid as the earlier ones. The jams are still dope.

haven't really caught up with stuff coming out this year, but I am going to my first hardcore gig for the first time in 18 months:

Damage Is Done II, London New Cross Inn Saturday 20/11/2021:

T.S.Warspite
Flaccid
Stringray
Instructor
Pest Control
Rated X
The Annihilated
Nekra
Game
The Flex
Wildside

Thinking that's probably not the same Flaccid that put out a cool 7" in 2014 just cos it's been 7 years. Heard good things about Stingray. I have records by Game and the Flex and they are both excellent bands. Heard demos by Nekra & the Annihilated and they both sound good. Thought Wildside & Rated X were just OK though. Don't know the other bands.

Puffer - Prisoner of your Love

saw the Chisel a couple of weeks ago, really fucking good oi/core band featuring lots of London punks from other top bands

went to see Steve Ignorant do Crass songs tonight, had a fucking great time tbh

go and see Harley's Cro-Mags in 2022 Y/N?
