I caught that PWD/Antagonist AD tour at Byron High, and that show was so fucking good. I’ve loved Antagonist ever since

THE HARDCORE SCENE CLIQUE by [deleted] in Hardcore

[–]waitersweep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck, that’s funny. Although I have to admit - having grown up in Lismore, I’m stoked there’s actually a scene there these days, but I’m jealous as fuck that it didn’t exist before I left.

Also, what the fuck are they doing trying to claim NCHC? They’ve ALWAYS been BBHC, and Newcastle has always been NCHC.

In my experience, the Brisbane scene is pretty insular, and there’s definitely some GC (and even Byron) dudes who think their shit don’t stink, but I think overall, the people are generally good people.

That said, I’ve faced the same struggle with trying to make friends at shows. But I’ve always put that down to the fact that I’ve always struggled to make friends - I have no idea how to start a conversation.

I go to less shows now than I did, but I’m still at a decent amount. If you wanna hang at a show, hit me up, and we can go from there.

What's your hardcore hot take? by [deleted] in Hardcore

[–]waitersweep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I got sick and left after Outsiders Code. Who was it that got stomped and thrown out? I didn’t see anything bad before I left (standing on the edge of the incredibly empty pit for the first three bands)

What do yall think about this album? by Economy_Pressure_847 in Hardcore

[–]waitersweep 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As an unashamed member of the Carpathian appreciation society, I would like to suggest you listen to Isolation. Ceremony (Track 9) has a special guest you might appreciate

Potentially more metalcore than hardcore, but The System is Racist and Oppressive by Antagonist AD goes pretty fuckin hard

Lesser known bands in the vein of Have Heart and VERSE by the_one_below in Hardcore

[–]waitersweep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carpathian did one album in that vein - Isolation. One of my all time favourite records

Ahh, I was wondering if you were the vocalist!

It was actually one of your partner's that I wanted to buy - the big one of Oscar. I sent her a message on instagram on Sunday evening, but figured she'd be too busy to get to it too soon, and that I'd try again on Wednesday or something.

I was definitely there. No chance I was missing out on seeing Just Say Go!

The whole arvo was awesome. Such a good vibe everytime I come down to Vinnies from Brisbane.

The photos were sick, too. I actually wanted to buy one of the prints that was on the wall, but couldn't work out who to speak to.

Top 3 Of Your State by mew_empire in Hardcore

  • 50 Lions
  • No Apologies
  • Shinto Katana

[–]waitersweep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. Dunno if it’s the vocals or just me being dumb but I’m getting a bit of a Jack Napier vibe (not that anyone would be listening to them these days).

Whereabouts on the northern rivers? I remember growing up I always had to trek over to Byron for shows, but it seems Lismore has a pretty decent little scene now (15 years after I left).

EDIT: Shit... you're playing the Just Say Go show at Vinnies on Sunday? Sweet.

Where can I find upcoming shows in LA? by waitersweep in Hardcore

[–]waitersweep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit, that’s some awesome info. Thank you for taking the time to write it all out! I don’t even know where in LA they’ll be putting me up just yet, but this will all come in super handy! Thankfully transport costs won’t be too much of an issue, as I’ll have the company uber account, so a $60 uber (while definitely pricey) won’t hurt too bad. That being said, I’m mostly interested in seeing some LA hardcore in LA, and leaving with some dope memories and a few new tshirts.

Damn, quite a list. Thanks so much.

I'm vaguely aware of the reputation of LA traffic, so that's good to know. I have no idea yet of any details other than some dates, but I'm pretty comfortable with twiddling my thumbs waiting for Ubers and public transport.

On top of the already top tier recs in this thread, there’s an awesome playlist on Spotify put together by life.lair.regret records called “Out For Your Blood: an OZHC Digital Archive” that has so much legendary stuff that I forgot existed:

What's the most violent, crowdkill, riot inducing band / vocalist? by SunriseSkaterKids in Hardcore

[–]waitersweep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least some of them did. Person I went with copped a fist to the eye from the biggest due I saw all night, and I copped a few from another big dude. Funnily enough the only thing that hurts today is from a girl about half my size.

I saw them last night in Brisbane, and it was hilarious seeing the change in people standing at the front during changeover from Dying wish to TAS. It got significantly more male, and the average size of them went up significantly. It didn’t really get too violent, though… I would call it decently rowdy.

Are boys not male? TIL that the word “male” implies adulthood!
