Hearing Todd Jones say that a phone call from Max Cavalera during COVID lifted his spirits and inspired him to keep going with Nails...brings a tear to my eye. Sometimes, all we need is an affirmation, a pat on the back, and a smile, and that is the fuel that gives someone the courage to keep going. Beautiful.
Also, Torena's "No Control" was AOTY for me, while Enforced's "A Leap into the Dark" was my EP OTY. Speed's "Only One Mode" and Extinguishes' EP were close runner ups, as well as the Holy Blade EP
One more thing Colin and Bo...Upon Stone are fantastic, but what about Dark Superstition by Gatecreeper and Manic Manual Procedures by 200 Stab Wounds? Major ommissions brothers
Same for the Monarch. That’s the first time Ive ever had to step aside from the crowd during a show because of how jam packed it was. I really thought I was gonna pass out. It was incredible
There are some genuinely scary and concerning sections of that new Concrete Winds record. Would love to see them put on a hardcore fest of some kind. Amazing stuff!
I'm so Happy for Haywire. I'm glad I got to catch them at a small midwest show at the end of the summer. Austin was super gracious, positive and would chat with anyone. First thing he did when Haywire went on was "Turn on these fucking lights!" I knew then that I liked him
I understand why, but kinda bummed there was no Cayle Sain lifetime achievement award this year. Was hoping y’all would keep that award going, but like I said I understand why. HG had the AOTY IMO
Missing Link won my personal album of the year seeing them in London then Outbreak. So heavy. Travelled Europe listening to that record so the personal nostalgia was crazy. Vocalist was a friendly bloke too
Just wanna give a little bit of praise to PeelingFlesh, Tzompantli and Collateral for all of their incredible records this year, check em out if you read this :)
Personally favorite records of last year Iron Front - Hooked Burning Lord - Arcane Demolition Berthold City - Where Did We Go Wrong? Condition 1 - Another Hopeless Prayer Threshold - Descent to Misery Despize - Scotland's Hardcore Glitterer - Rationale Drug church - Prude
Yo Missing Link, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish. But Haywire has one of the best albums of all time. One of the best albums of all time.
I’ll never not laugh remembering reading an interview with Todd and he said something along the lines “I love prog shit but sometimes I don’t wanna wait 10 minutes for that one hard ass riff, so we are that hard ass riff.” Lmao.
My nom for best new band: Divine Right. Best LP of 24: Speed- Only one mode. Best Ep of 24: Pest Control- Year of the pest. Lifes question a close second.
this upload marks the end of the official 2024 Hardcore Fiscal Year
Paradise is amazing i saw them open for haywire in san antonio . shout out texas !!!!
for the indie album category i gotta say mannequin pussy had one of my favorite albums of the year

we need a merch category
Yeah That'd be dope
That’d be awesome. Maybe even a Tour Flyer Design Of The Year award to help give more artists some shine
Candy not getting a SINGLE nomination for Its Inside You or Flipping gotta be the biggest snub by the academy since The Weekend’s After Hours
Whaaa you should check my best of 2024 for sime candy love
1000% It's Inside You was my AOTY
I mean it's kinda hard to get EVERY band, it's two dudes. but I agree , candy's sick
Yea. Candy! Its inside you prob my 2nd or 3rd favorite HC LP of 2024
They’re not from the valley
Honored to be part of this episode, thanks so much. Make sure you guys check out that Paradise demo 👌🏼
Checked them out right after, it rips. Biohazard af. Love that shit.
@@yazoo55 Yes, great call on that comparison.
Contention snubbed
Candy deserved to be one of the most nominated bands this year
No Echo needs more recognition. One of the best sites around for discovering hardcore.
Appreciated! Glad you dig the website.
Cup of coffee in hand, birds chirping, sun shining, and the 2nd annual Hardlore awards. I can confidently confirm a fully hardened lore this morning
i feel it brother, except with a cool monster energy
have heart at outbreak 2024 should have been nominated that was unreal
New category next year:
“Most ridiculous gang vocal”
I bought that Extinguish record purely for the artwork. So good.
Have Heart not being mentioned in performance of the year is insane. I was at the Boston show & I personally have never seen anything like it.
Same at Tied Down. Legit the most batshit insane set I've ever seen from anyone.
Same for the Monarch. That’s the first time Ive ever had to step aside from the crowd during a show because of how jam packed it was. I really thought I was gonna pass out. It was incredible
no Candy ?? But an interview with em would redeem this
so cool to see splitknuckle getting some love
Been in a creative slump lately and colins lastvwords really helped me get out if my slump
Stephen, the AG1 ad editing is INSANE
This is one of the best Album of The Year awards I've ever seen. So much variety. I need more! 2025 better hit me like a truck
crush your soul not getting an EP of the year nomination for self titled is craaaaaaazy
There are some genuinely scary and concerning sections of that new Concrete Winds record. Would love to see them put on a hardcore fest of some kind. Amazing stuff!
bunch of great finds in here. been jamming lockslip since they were mentioned
I'm so Happy for Haywire. I'm glad I got to catch them at a small midwest show at the end of the summer. Austin was super gracious, positive and would chat with anyone. First thing he did when Haywire went on was "Turn on these fucking lights!" I knew then that I liked him
HAYWIRE band of the year
Crush Your Soul and Big Boy takeover last year
Bo’s ad libs get me every time “mm.” “Ok.” “Yell.” 😹
“Boy, is it”
Being at the Haywire show in Brooklyn, they are an undeniable great live band no holds bard
So happy Concrete Winds got mentioned. People are sleeping on em
Dude, how is Candy not on this list
i second this !
@ most innovative, non cookie cutter band out currently
Flipping so dope! Also the LP It's Inside You
I had never heard Haywire and saw them open for Terror in Portland. They killed that shit and I’ve been a fan since!
Next year we need a best merch category!!
I understand why, but kinda bummed there was no Cayle Sain lifetime achievement award this year. Was hoping y’all would keep that award going, but like I said I understand why.
HG had the AOTY IMO
Why do you think it is they didn’t include it?
Missing Link won my personal album of the year seeing them in London then Outbreak. So heavy. Travelled Europe listening to that record so the personal nostalgia was crazy. Vocalist was a friendly bloke too
Love you guys but it's a travesty that Have Heart at Tied Down wasn't nominated for best live performance lol
Just wanna give a little bit of praise to PeelingFlesh, Tzompantli and Collateral for all of their incredible records this year, check em out if you read this :)
‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’ has the best production guys come on
So dope to see Lockslip on here!! They deserve it! 🖤
Todd is so cool
We need a 4 hour in person Todd Jones episode like yesterday
Great episode. Colin spot on about Scottish scene 🥶🔥
who up awarding their lore?
The Max Cavalera with Nails moment is something ill never forget!
idk if todd is straight edge or not but he seems lit as hell in the interview loooooooool i love him
Missed opportunity for Colin to wear a sleeveless suit coat
Best ep Step by Step
Personally favorite records of last year
Iron Front - Hooked
Burning Lord - Arcane Demolition
Berthold City - Where Did We Go Wrong?
Condition 1 - Another Hopeless Prayer
Threshold - Descent to Misery
Despize - Scotland's Hardcore
Glitterer - Rationale
Drug church - Prude
Yo Missing Link, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish. But Haywire has one of the best albums of all time. One of the best albums of all time.
was not expecting to see wishy on here 👍
I expected I Hope I Die Here to get some love for EP of the year.
I’ll never not laugh remembering reading an interview with Todd and he said something along the lines “I love prog shit but sometimes I don’t wanna wait 10 minutes for that one hard ass riff, so we are that hard ass riff.” Lmao.
I remember he said that during an episode of "The Making of You Will Never Be One Of Us" on the Nuclear Blast yt channel.
UNDEATH- More Insane🔥
My brothers we need to get a full episode with Britty Drake. Her cameos make me feel warm. PS forever
To give these categories a little variety, two great EPs that came out and are actually hardcore: Locked Shut tooth ache and Delta Hate mess we made
My nom for best new band: Divine Right. Best LP of 24: Speed- Only one mode. Best Ep of 24: Pest Control- Year of the pest. Lifes question a close second.
Shoutout to RIXE
Mom get off the wifi. New Hardlore is up
All the bands mentioned today are hard as fuck but the hardest thing in this video are the giraffe pants .
The best live performance of the year is actually a tie between Have Heart in NY and Have Heart in Boston
I regret not seeing Nails at the Belasco 😭
Concrete Winds mentioned
four winds away is probably the best new band
I think that you'll find Holy Blade was EP of the year
The best new band is Bo’s arms
Bo flexing his selvedge denim.i see you homie
MISSING LINK DEF HAD THE BEST ALBUM OF 2024...I SAID IT AS SOON AS I HEARD IT.
It’s 1:03am and I’m Harding my lore
Missing link deserved AOTY
They were recording this instead of watching the real aoty, burning lord, at fya
I fucking love splitknuckle, fuckin Joey man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Homies and homettes - anyone have a playlist with all this years noms?
haywire is the best new band fs
Next year add best demo award
Todd is always so sweet
for list/best of episodes like this yall should make apple/spotify playlists with the releases if the bands music is on streaming services!
Why Colin look like he's wearing the front half of a two-person Centaur costume?
Damn, no Counterparts: Heaven Let Them Die in the EP category? 😢 it’s got the hardest songs they’ve ever written.
Facts 🩸🐑
@@brackentadych9136 I love this EP too it’s definitely their best stuff, but maybe a bit too metalcore for the Hardlore audience
concrete winds 🙏🏼
Upon Stone are solid but check out Majesties for the current absolute best melo death metal band!
A suggestion of category for 2025 is best HC album of strange waters (not only US and UK)
Yo, the kablam theme!
WHISPERS DAS WASSUP
Alright guys what’s the denim ID for Colin’s jacket and bo’s jeans ? I need to know lol
no have heart a tied down for best performance is crazy
Where’s the Cayle Sain award?
2x speed like normal and dealing with a terrible case of vertigo... Hard the lore. Lore the hard.
we need a hardcore mfs making metalcore category because how did contention not get mentioned once
🫨 LOREEEEEEE
Wishy mentioned
One Less Enemy snubbed from AOTY.
Burning Lord not being nominated for LP of the year is crazy 😂
No despize LP 😢
Get that bug!
PROMO OF THE YEAR: STREET POWER (PROMO 2024)
2025.. is the year for Dischord house. Or atleast Ian.
Haywire episode when kings??
Bummed the hardcore dudes doing death metal shit didn't include the new 200 Stab Wounds album.
Shout out toasters 2 tone army
How is love song not in best guest vocal? It's the best song on the album. It's everything good about haywire with everything good about chubby.
You got half a bay band on this entire awards smh.
Colin is wearing sleeves. Is everything ok?
Corpse Pile missing from this
When did Apparition break up?! Wtf, this is sad news.
