Disanalogy.

Well, I spent the bulk of my teens listening to this kind of stuff, and yes, I could tell one band from another, so I guess in that sense it doesn't all sound exactly the same. However, you have to admit that hardcore punk is one of the easiest sounds to pigeonhole that there is, and I don't think most of its practitioners are particularly hung up on "originality" as much as just "getting into it." It's a very easily definable genre with very narrow borders.

generally speaking nothing makes me want to see a band less than when its described as hardcore punk.

"An ecletic mix of real rock n' roll influences"

Gotta love black flag!

That's true. But that's also the beauty of it.

Have you heard early Refused? It's hardcore. Their last album was branching out and making something more of the genre, hence the title: The Shape of Punk to Come. But they were also trying to get away from the hardcore crowd around the time of writing that album.

It's true, some of the early stuff makes you wonder how they could make an album like The Shape... (which isn't anything negative).

I love their earlier stuff! Their back in black cover is way better than the AC/DC version. It's songs like "Hate Breeds Hate" and "The Marlboro man's Dead" that make this band exceptionally good. The Shape was completely different from most of their stuff

Their cover of Bullet by the Misfits is way better than the original too.

I haven't heard the Back in Black cover. I love AC/DC and I love Refused.

It's a completely different style than the AC/DC version. Most people I know like it less though. And I didn't know that bullet is a cover either! I really want to get into more punk. All I listen to punkwise is Black Flag, Refused, Rites of Spring, and a few No Wave artists. Dennis Lyxzen is a nice guy though, although I only talked to him for a few seconds

Dennis Lyxen was voted sexiest man in Sweden. Wierd, hey!

I abslutely detest AC/DC.

Dennis is great. I saw Noise Conspiracy at the start of the year. One of the best live bands ever.

Oh shit, I don't remember writing that...

Is that even a word?

wrong!!

have you ever even heard this record?!

Hello darling!
