Defeatist - Sixth Extinction is fucking fantastic, one of the better grind records to come out recently.

Checked out Backstabbers Inc, definitely going on my list. Nice and intense. I will be checking out the others too. I reckon it is good sense to trust your judgement.

I've wanted this album for ages. Only youtubed the tracks. I recently wiki-ed the band. I thought they'd only released two albums, 'Born to Expire' and 'Open-Mouth Kiss'. The latter is a wierd mix of hardcore and metal but I really enjoy it. Leeway are definitely an under-rated band - I think largely because they get overlooked for Cro-Mags.

more underground than a lot of previously mentioned bands but great live (I've seen them) are:

Curses - from Leeds
End Reign - from the Northeast/Durham/Newcastle I think
Broken Teeth - Manchester I think

Hardcore gigs I work at tend to be a bit of blur but these 3 really stood out for me

for a bigger names:

Born From Pain where also good live and have been on the go for quite a while

My favs in hardcore are Cursed, Tragedy, His Hero Is Gone, Coliseum, Ringworm, Cro-Mags, Integrity, Converge, Bad Brains, Blood For Blood, Agnostic Front, Catharsis.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time too... Listen to the whole thing...


Tragedy...

Only Heresy and Doom are real...

(And the Electro Hippies. And ENT. And Siege. And...)

I've been listening to a lot of Doom and Heresy recently...should be cool to see Doom at Hellfest.

Also got a Disrupt's album last week
