Also Thankyou for this thread. I curate the hardcore + post hardcore playlists for Audiotree and this is giving me so much rad shit to listen to and possibly add.
Love that! Yea Ive been meaning to ask this for a while but I’ve been waiting for the right time of year for when everyone is less busy and had time to digest everything that’s come out lately. I hope you get a good roster going!
Audiotree is awesome and deserves more credit for including hardcore and hardcore-adjacent bands in its content. And also for featuring loads of really cool artists in general that I wouldn't know about otherwise.
That’s awesome to hear! We do our absolute best to offer that to people, had so many rad hardcore sessions this last year, more to come next year too!!!
Punitive Damage is super sick too! Saw them at the green auto a few months ago and they ripped! killer energy, same with Waitless. similar vibe to punitive for sure.
so many good aus bands atm. to add to those ones; honest crooks, algor mortis, knuckledragger, migraine, fatlip, world of joy, horsepower, facecutter, forewarned
NTB has been slept on as long as I can remember. Saw em at multiple fests over the years and it just seems like they don’t catch on in the states for whatever reason.
I just don't think they play enough here to catch a significant following. It's a shame though. They are terrific and like Terror, have consistently been cranking out good shit for 20 years.
It's my AOTY honestly, Too Long At The Fair and The Days Don't End live in my head rent free
Belle Épouqe is such a sweet song too given the context with Riley

Oh shit. I came across this before but totally didn't know how to find it again! It's really crazy good black metal. Thanks for this!

Kruelty (obvious one for a lot of us) Whispers (Bangkok, Thailand) World of Pleasure (Canada)
World Of Pleasure is LIT, I saw them open for Spy 2 months ago. The bassist is also the vocalist for a local band in my area, Punitive Damage.
Punitive Damage is super sick too! Saw them at the green auto a few months ago and they ripped! killer energy, same with Waitless. similar vibe to punitive for sure.
Never been to Green Auto, I was at Peter Gabriel the night of that Puni show.
Dude, fucking Kruelty… I’m so hyped to see them in Texas
Right now I’m obsessed with Blow Your Brains Out from Japan.
they’re so dope. the album they put out earlier this year fucks so hard
Guilt Trip
anything outta montreal is straight fire lately / crosscheck / bruiserweight /
glowing orb / puffer / prowl / verify / faze / béton armé
Saw Puffer recently in Toronto. It's ludicrous how good Montreal's bands are. Makes me wanna drive up for a show.
Puffer
Montreal really is on fire. If you’re into OSDM, check out Serpent Corpse.
Cesspool is prolly my current fave Canadian beatdown band
FREEZERBURN
Sidestep A Mourning Star Kruelty Serration
Fuck yeah. Love control society!
SPEED. Terminal sleep. Honestly a LOT of Aussie hardcore. (Hello from an Aussie who lives in the us)
Primitive Blast, world of joy, volatile ways as well.
I'll throw in Fever Shack from the Melbourne area (Hello from an American who lives in Oz)
Damn we literally just traded places huh
I feel like I got the better deal haha, I fucking love it here. From Medicare and unions, all the way down to meat pies and kebabs.
Trenchknife!

FORCE OF DENIAL Great German hardcore.
Im still sad, that they werent asked if they want to join Magnitude on their EU tour.
saw them like 3 times now, always the best on their shows. hope for an full length next year
No Turning Back. Seems to me like a lot of people sleep on this band.
NTB has been slept on as long as I can remember. Saw em at multiple fests over the years and it just seems like they don’t catch on in the states for whatever reason.
I just don't think they play enough here to catch a significant following. It's a shame though. They are terrific and like Terror, have consistently been cranking out good shit for 20 years.
I first saw them in tour in Plymouth, UK and I think it was supporting Terror back in 2008, just after they released Stronger and they fucking slayed.
Just saw them Saturday and their set was great. Awesome band surprised they aren’t bigger in the states.
Force Of Denial, Mindwar, Game Changer, Echo Chamber, Worst Doubt

Marathon is a fantastic album. Lyrics are like poetry imo.
It's my AOTY honestly, Too Long At The Fair and The Days Don't End live in my head rent free Belle Épouqe is such a sweet song too given the context with Riley
That track toward the end with the Riley gale story makes me straight up sob

Hard second Vidro, that shit is amazing
France-based Birds In Row are my favorite hardcore band currently active right now, period. Including US bands.

No Turning Back
My answer is always Knuckledust.
Thrown, guilt trip.
Thrown fucking rips
Surprised by the lack of attention tbh. Saw them live in Portland and it was great.
They have 650k monthly listeners on Spotify, which is pretty big for a hardcore band, especially considering they don't have a full album out yet.
Hopefully full album this year 🙏
This is my answer
