first wave hardcore

I fucking love early hardcore, it's some of my favourite music to listen to in the summer. This sort of music just feels right when you're wearing a wifebeater and drinking cheap beer. Outside of the obvious Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Black Flag etc., do you have any recommendations for me to listen to? I'm no expert and I want some awesome hardcore for the hottest day of the year.

wft on this board harcore means hardcore techno.

berlin gabba front is pretty hardcore

i dunno about first wave but i've been listening to refused - the shape of punk to come a lot lately. that's late nineties though (i think).

don't know if these exactly fit into what you're looking for but,

stormtroopers of death, tsol, dri

Youth of Today!

Gorilla Biscuits!

As well as the stuff already mentioned

Agnostic Front, Angry Samoans, 7seconds, Circle Jerks, SS Decontrol, Negative Approach, State of Alert, Rites of Spring, Cro-Mags, Dag Nasty, JFA, Jerry's Kids

Get on it innit.

ardcore!

^^^^A classic.

Also - Youth Brigade

not exactly a music recommendation, but you should peep this documentary..

some good interviews etc.

thanks for the recommendations everybody - predictably I drank myself to sleep by 6pm. Will check these out tomorrow with a few more beers!

Didn't 14tracks.com just release a bundle of various hardcore tracks?

Linky linky

Get the Flex Your Head compilation, it has been a Summer favorite on-the-go for me.

also, I've never heard the term "First Wave"

yeah whats the first wave?

My idiosyncratic terminology I guess... just referring to anything from the early-mid 1980s I suppose, like I said I'm far from an expert on the genre and I've heard a lot of very shitty contemporary hardcore bands!

Checked out Start Today by Gorilla Biscuits by the way - great record!

I just assumed it meant 80s stuff.

They don't get better than that as far as late '80s straightedge hardcore.

I was lucky enough to see them live in 1990.

excellent, EXCELLENT movie...

god I love hardcore.

newer hardcore is nice too, but its a little hard to get into if you are used to Minor Threat.

Bands like Orchid, Capsule, Victor Fix the Sun and so on....great stuff though.

I forgot about C.O.C.
