Mindforce's Mike Shaw)We're back with a guest, and this time it's Mike Shaw, guitarist of Mindforce, Fatal Realm, New World Man, Sentinel, Collossal, and many other bands. Since Mike has almost never been interviewed about his work, we take some time going through his hardcore story and talking about his many bands, including his take on Mindforce's wild trajectory. Then, we switch gears and review the seminal 1984 Japanese hardcore comp 'Hardcore Unlawful Assembly,' featuring songs from GIZM, Lip Cream, Zouo, and many others.

2024-10-041h 24Violent TreatmentOne Scene History (Feat. From Within Records)It'd be hard to deny that From Within Records' One Scene Unity compilations are the definitive hardcore comps of the 2020s thus far. The Florida-based DIY label has released four editions of their genre-wide series, and we had From Within head honcho Carter Holmes (also of the bands Statement of Pride, Payback, and more) join us for a discussion about all four comps. We talk about the bands and songs that appeared on each edition, and use the comps as a framework to discuss how hardcore has evolved in the 2020s thus far. Check it out. Peep t...
2024-09-1752 minViolent TreatmentRichmond Style (Feat. Michael Thorn)Michael Thorn of Razorblades and Aspirin joins us for a primer on the history of Richmond, VA hardcore. For a mid-size city of its kind, Richmond has had a thriving scene since the birth of hardcore, and we traced its lineage with the help of someone who lives there now, and has had one leg in the scene for decades. From White Cross and Honor Roll in the early 80s and Four Walls Falling and Avail in the 90s, to Municipal Waste and Direct Control in the 2000s and all the many bands rocking in Richmond today, there was...
2024-09-031h 02Violent TreatmentHardcore Temperature CheckIt's time to check in on this thing we love. We're almost halfway through the 2020s, and hardcore is beginning to feel different now than it did at the beginning of the decade. We remark on how the vibes have shifted (for good and bad) since the post-COVID lockdown boom of summer 2021, and think about how 2024 has felt like a strange transitional year for the genre. Not too many essential LPs, a lot of ephemeral micro-trends, and a lot of reverence within hardcore for sounds that aren't hardcore. Intro song: Praise - "Coming Up for Ai...
2024-08-2053 minViolent TreatmentNYHC: Then and Now (Feat. Combust's Andrew Vacante)Andrew Vacante of Combust, Steamroll, Downfall, and more joins us to talk about NYHC from a modern New Yorker's perspective. We get into how the identity of NYHC has changed over time, the drought of native NYHC bands in the 2010s, and how Andrew's bands have helped change the tenor of the scene. Plus, many other digressions on hardcore minutia. Bands mentioned: Killing Time, Sheer Terror, Cro-Mags, Breakdown, Madball, Merauder, Sick of it All, Countdown, Krimewatch, and many more. Intro song: Combust - "Why I Hate" Outro song: Steamroll - "Marked"
2024-08-0655 minViolent TreatmentLate Eighties Boston (Feat. Eye for an Eye)Eye for an Eye drummer Thos Niles joins us to discuss his band's come-up in late Eighties Boston, an odd transitional period for one of the most important scenes in hardcore history. We talk a lot about Eye for an Eye's short yet sweet first go as a band, and paint a pretty vivid picture of what hardcore was like leading up to the Nineties post-hardcore explosion. Bands we talked about: Eye for an Eye, Slapshot, Wrecking Crew, Kingpin, Quicksand, Supertouch, Have Heart, Fiddlehead, Speed, and many more. Eye for an Eye just reunited over th...

Gem Fair)Prolific Pittsburgh hardcore musician, podcaster, and writer Gem Fair joins us for an episode about albums that are important to our experiences with hardcore.

2024-06-111h 07Violent TreatmentTorture Poets Department (Feat. Hunter Winstead)Hunter Winstead of Through N Through Printing joins us to talk about a bunch of recent shows we've attended. To start, we give a thorough first-hand account of the first Torture tour, and why that band's ascent in hardcore is so unprecedented. Then, we share our experiences seeing Velocity, Drain, Gatecreeper, Spy, and more. Intro song: Torture - "Agonized Desperation" Outro song: Home Invasion - "Bleach"
2024-05-2759 minViolent TreatmentA Reminder of What Counts (Feat. Pat Flynn)Have Heart are reuniting to play some shows this summer, and the band's debut seven-inch 'What Counts' turns 20. So we talked with Have Heart frontman Pat Flynn about the band's pre-LP days. His teenage disillusionment with the attitude of hardcore, the Massachusetts scene he came up in, early 2000s hc minutia, and Have Heart's early days slogging it on the road with no one paying attention. Later in the episode we talk about Have Heart's legacy in the present day, and why the current state of hardcore inspired the band to play some shows once again. ...
2024-05-091h 24Violent TreatmentThe State of Adjace (Feat. David Anthony)Friend of the pod David Anthony returns to dig into the state of "adjacent" sounds in hardcore. We spend a lot of time talking about death metal's current place in the genre, and wonder whether "hardcore kids making death metal" is good for either hardcore or death metal. Then, we look at the more melodic side of the spectrum: Koyo, One Step Closer, Militarie Gun, etc. How does that lane compare to what it sounded/looked like 10, 20 years ago? A lot of hypothesizing. A lot of opinions. David is always an insightful guest who basically takes the r...
2024-04-241h 19Violent TreatmentIf It Rains it 'Cores (Feat. Nick Birtles and Evan Stein)We're joined this week by Nick Birtles and Evan Stein of the bands Anklebiter, Broken Vow, If It Rains, Attrition Rate, Ultimatum, and Pummel (RIP).

Intro song: Sinister Feeling - "Poisoned Mind" Outro song: If It Rains - Superfluous
2024-04-091h 01Violent TreatmentPittsburgh Style (Feat. Pain Clinic's Ty Dawson)Last year, we read Samantha Sansone's new oral history of the Pittsburgh hardcore scene, 'Through Our Eyes' — and we finished the book with more questions than answers. So, we had Pain Clinic frontman Ty Dawson join us to fill in the gaps. What was it like seeing No Retreat and Built Upon Frustration back in the day? What are the defining features of Pittsburgh hardcore? How important are Code Orange to the city's sound? Why, in 2024, is there a divide between the thriving beatdown scene and the thriving hardcore-punk scene — and was it always that way? This was a fun...
2024-03-2658 minViolent TreatmentLockin' In (Feat. Mil-Spec's Matt LaForge)The catalog of Lockin' Out Records is having an unavoidable resurgence right now, so we went deep on the label's stamp on hardcore history. We're joined by Matt LaForge, guitarist of the LOR signees Mil-Spec, who had a key vantage point to the rise of Lockin' Out, and spoke to us in great detail about how the label's flagship bands — Mental, Righteous Jams, The Wrong Side, etc. — impacted the hardcore zeitgeist in the early 2000s. Intro song: The Wrong Side - "Feeding Time at the Zoo" Outro song: Mil-Spec - "Hall of Mirrors"
2024-03-111h 16Violent TreatmentDance Floor Russin (Feat. Ned Russin)Ned Russin (Glitterer, Title Fight, and many other bands) joins us for a conversation about how hardcore dancing has evolved over the ages. We watched videos of sets ranging from Bad Brains in '82 and Breakdown in '88, to Hatebreed in '94 and Rival Mob in '13, and then talked about the way the crowds behaved during those periods. Ned, being the hardcore scholar that he is, provided a lot of fascinating commentary about what these audience behaviors said about these eras of hardcore, and how the arc of the genre has developed over time. W...

The Culture JournalistInside the TikTok shoegaze revivalHey pals. Here’s a development that we never had on our 2024 bingo card: shoegaze is back, and it’s arguably bigger than ever. Andrea first got wind of this in October when she interviewed one of the architects of the genre, which dates back to the 80s and early 90s and is characterized by reverbed-out guitars, heavy feedback, and vocals that sit way back in the mix. On the heels of their fifth album, everything is alive, the U.K. quintet Slowdive is enjoying a level of success that is unprecedented in their 35-year career. They’re selling more m...
2024-02-011h 10Violent TreatmentMetalcore's Back (Feat. Senti of Balmora and Jeff of Fallen God)As we've mentioned on this show before, we're currently experiencing a resurgence in a particular strain of metalcore that's being welcomed under the hardcore umbrella. Bands like Balmora, Since My Beloved, Adrienne, A Mourning Star, Dying Wish and many others. In this episode, we're joined by Balmora frontman/Ephyra Recordings owner Senti, and Fallen God frontman/Equinox Booking co-owner Jeff, to zoom in on this current trend and connect today's metalcore bands to a greater lineage that's been percolating throughout the last 25 years of hardcore. Editor's Note: Eli literally opens the show with a lie. Th...

In the spirit of the new year, the three of us look ahead to where we envision hardcore's sound and culture going in 2024. We touch on democore, deathcore, the identity of the decade thus far, and make a few other predictions based on what we've been witnessing at shows, fests and around the 'net.

2024-01-1158 minViolent TreatmentBest Hardcore of 2023 (Feat. Tom Breihan and Andrew Sacher)We talked about our favorite hardcore of 2023 with two fellow hxc scribes, Stereogum Senior Editor Tom Breihan and BrooklynVegan Edtior Andrew Sacher. We each counted down our 10 favorite hardcore albums/EP's of the year, and had fun discussing the overlap, the mixed feelings, and the outlier picks.

2023-12-151h 39Violent TreatmentThe Kids Had Their SayFirst, we talk about our favorite hardcore sets we saw in 2023 — from Negative Approach to Vein. Then, in honor of its 40th anniversary reissue, we discuss SS Decontrol's 1982 debut 'The Kids Will Have Their Say,' as well as our more general thoughts on Boston's first important hardcore band. Intro song: Balmora - "Under the Weight" Outro song: SS Decontrol - "Get it Away"
2023-11-2753 minViolent TreatmentHardcore Kid MetalThere're certain metal bands that, for whatever reason, hardcore fans love. Whether its their sound, their iconography, or just their aura, bands like Type O Negative, Bolt Thrower, Sepultura and even Slipknot have become as much a part of the hardcore milieu as actual hardcore originators like Circle Jerks and Agnostic Front. Eli had Hugo listen to many of these "shirt bands", and we dicussed the quality of their music, their relevancy to hardcore, and why hardcore fans and musicians are so drawn to these capital "m" Metal bands. Intro song: Sepultura - "Arise' O...
2023-11-0955 minViolent TreatmentNYHC Before 'Victim In Pain'Agnostic Front's 1984 debut, 'Victim In Pain', is commonly regarded as the benchmark NYHC album. Moreover, if you look at the history of early 80s hardcore, it's the first hardcore release from New York that really "mattered" outside of that city's streets. Plenty of hardcore scholars talk about the hotbed that NYHC became after 'Victim In Pain,' but for this episode, we wanted to look at some of the releases that were coming out of NY in the years prior. We listened to bands like Urban Waste, Antitode, The Abused, The Mob, Stimulators and more, and came awa...

Intro song: Broken Vow - "Propaganda of the Deed" Outro song: Killing Time - "Brightside"
2023-10-1150 minViolent TreatmentWTF Is Melodic Hardcore? (Feat. Jay Papandreas)We're joined by blogger Jay Papandreas to talk about melodic hardcore. What is it? Who earns that designation? And which bands that frequently get called melodic hardcore don't belong in that pool? Check out Jay's blog https://www.listenupnerds.com/ Intro song: Lifetime - "Turnpike Gates" Outro song: Koyo - "Diamond One"
2023-09-261h 00Violent TreatmentAmerica's HardcoreWe listened to all five installments of the America's Hardcore compilation series that Triple B Records have been releasing since 2010. We debate how effective the comps are at capturing the moment of 2010s hardcore, which tracks are best, and what Triple B means to the fabric of contemporary hardcore. Intro song: Bitter End - "Disguised" Outro song: Mil-Spec - "Time After Time"
2023-09-0849 minViolent TreatmentWhen Hardcore Bands Leave HardcoreAfter some brief chatter on our recent listening habits, we dive into discussing a handful of albums from throughout hardcore history where bands "sold out" by making metal, pop-punk, or butt-rock records. From SSD, Earth Crisis, No Warning and beyond, we listened to those "failed swing" albums that bands pretend never happened, and see if they're actually as bad as people say they are. Intro song: No Warning - "Bad Timing" Outro song: Shelter - "Alone On My Birthday"
2023-08-291h 01Violent TreatmentNortheast Coast AssaultAfter seeing one of Bane's reunion shows, we decided to do a dive into their discography and talk a bit about their legacy today. Does Hugo actually fuck with Bane now? Listen to find out. Then, we switch gears by reviewing the 1993 'East Coast Assault' compilation, which features early songs by Life of Agony, Merauder, Converge and more. It's a hugely instructive time capsule for that era of heavy hardcore, and we had fun going through it all. Intro song: Bane - "Can We Start Again?" Outro song: Bane - "Calling Hours"
2023-08-1656 minViolent TreatmentFiling a Music Journalist Restraining OrderWe review the new album from Restraining Order and then dive into a discussion about the way hardcore gets condescendingly covered by many music journalists (not us, of course).

Death Metal DischargeDeathcore Discharge FT. Eli EnisThis week we have another long-form episode. I'm really exicited about this one.

That seems to be changing as bands like Sunami and the Daze records scene openly embrace deathcore's influence on their sound. With...

Watch Me Pod20 - THE TROY-CORE TRUTH FEAT. ELI ENISIf you like heavy hardcore, you likely know Troy-Core by sound, if not by name. This marginal scene in Upstate New York in the 1990s created some of the most unhinged, brutal, and heavy hardcore bands the impacts of which can be felt all the way to the current day – sometimes being referenced pretty directly by acts like Twitching Tongues and God's Hate. Anything this influential is worth exploring a little, especially when it's shrouded in mystery.
We're joined today by former Upstate NY resident and avid Troy-Core enjoyer Eli Enis. Eli is an editor at Revolver Ma...

2019-10-051h 06İslam KentiPeygamber Efendimizin (asv) çok evlenmesinin hikmetleri nelerdir? [Yazılı+Sesli]Mevzuyu ilk önce, O pâk şahsiyete bakan yönüyle ele alalım. Her şeyden evvel bilinmelidir ki, güzel ahlakın zirvesinde olan Efendimiz (ASM), yirmi beş yaşına kadar hiç evlenmedi. O sıcak memleketin hususî durumu da göz önüne alınacak olursa, bu kadar zaman iffetiyle yaşaması ve bunun da, dün ve bugün böylece kabul ve teslim edilmesi, O’nda iffetin esas olduğunu vemüthiş bir irade ve nefis hâkimiyeti bulunduğunu gösterir.
