Solid list though I'd make some personal changes to this (e.g., how the fuck is Modern Life Is War - Witness not on there for 2005-2010?).
I mean I get it, for only five albums for a five year period some good albums are going to get missed. Witness is a good choice but I’m not sure it’s better than anything in its category. Could probably make an argument for Death Threat in here somewhere too, maybe Incendiary in the 2011-2015 category
I didn't listen to the episode, but I guess they did it on the fly while talking it out rather than sitting down and preparing written lists. Per the BV article, some of the bands that just missed the cut were: SSD, Embrace, Judge, Burn, Sick of It All, Strife, Merauder, Cave In, Lifetime, Blacklisted, Bane, Poison the Well, Mental, Modern Life is War, Trash Talk, and Gulch
I would probably switch out mental for tragedy. But a ton of great albums. The 2011-2015 stretch is sus though.
2011-2015 was a weird time for hardcore. Not a ton of stuff was coming out and a lot of bands were slowing down/calling it quits.
just now listening to A2G, but Enforced opening for Drug Church would be tight (but would definitely piss off some people) I don't think it's nuts though. Drain and Drug Church made sense and I think Enforced and Drain would easily work so, it's only another step away. edit: Strange Joy shout out
Fast, noisy punk with some garage leanings. Idk why, but I feel like if you like Black Button then you might like this even though they don't sound all that much alike.
