The Thousands

What do you think about when you hear the word ‘hardcore’? Chubby bearded dudes in black hoodies with violent passive aggressive tendancies? Or Black Flag, ’80s Dischord, F*cked Up and the good modern contemporaries who create new hardcore sounds removed from their ’80s originators? There’s hardcore and then there’s hardcore. Some sucks, some is so excellent. Imaginative, creative and straight up guttural in all the right ways. Locals Robotosaurus and Coerce fit pretty nicely into the latter. Good hardcore. -DG
