Always here for new comeback kid

 

To clarify the Have Heart situation - the bio for the Instagram page now says "Band Archive Page". Interpret that information as you will.

As for my own 2 cents, gotta agree with Nate et. al here. I'd have no problem with them coming back if they did some more gigs for charity ala what they did with their final gig and the reunion gig for the domestic violence org that I think one of Pat's family members is associated with, but if they're getting big money offers from entities like Furnace Fest, it kinda cheapens this whole reunion experience they made a big deal about in 2019. Not that I wouldn't enjoy seeing Have Heart again though.

 

anyone going to Bangin in the Rock this weekend?

 

Kind of a cheeseball chorus, but overall I'm into it. Looks like they're on a new label too? EP called Trouble with 4 songs out 3/15 on Sharptone.

Comeback Kid - TROUBLE

 

I'd sell a kidney if Killing The Dream and Ruiner decided to put a string of reunion shows together. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to CA for KTD last show but I was at Ruiner's and that was a fun night.

 

Ruiner is a band name I haven't heard in many a moon. Good shit back in the day.

 

Man I haven’t listened to either of those bands in so long. I have a sneaking suspicion they don’t hold up but I loved Killing the Dream

 

Noisy Chicago hardcore from members of C.H.E.W.:

 

Make sure you all check out the new albums from Sentinel, Stress Positions and Jarhead Fertilizer.

 

Too lazy to go alphabetical order at this point. The top row in each album and EP lists are my favorites of the heavy shit this year.

 

Skourge was the runaway punk/metal AOTY for me, really liked the Final Gasp record too

 

Definitely agree with Skourge and Final Gasp.

Too lazy to put them in any order or separate EPs from LPs, but here are some other standouts I don't think have been mentioned.

Exhibition - Last Laugh
Conservative Military Image - Casual Violence
Alienator - World of Hate
Living in Fear - Fuck You Music For Fuck You People
World I Hate - Years of Lead
Since My Beloved - One Day Away
Scaramanga HC - The Many Faces
Balmora - With Thorns of Glass & Petals of Grief
Angel Du$t - Brand New Soul
Twitchfits - Vol. 1

 

All contenders for sure

 

And it's not hardcore, but maybe considered adjacent. The Spiritual Cramp record is probably gonna wind up being my AOTY.

 

Wow, that is very surprising. That record is very pop. Excited to see them open for MG next year.

 

I was not expecting to like it, but I love it.

 

a few on here I haven't heard and a few good ones no ones brought up yet

Cayle Sain (Twitching Tongues) has passed away

 

RIP, that’s awful

 

Wow. I’m so sad.

Such a hard drummer and TT was getting all the love they deserve. He will be missed by the community.

 

Damn, RIP. Seemed like a great dude. Hell of a musician too.

 

So so sad man
