Totally checks out that ILM is dead silent about the new Turnstile record.― billstevejim, Thursday, August 12, 2021 12:04 PM (one month ago) bookmarkflaglink
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.

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.

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.

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.
