Dennis names a band: *
Me: Pause the video and then immediately open another window to listen to it.
Sick of it all is the best NYHC. Fun video. Thanks.
Greeting from Thailand! Just came across your channel. Love 'The shape of punk to come' for longtime. Thanks for the list, Dennis.
Thanks for checking out the channel.
The first time that I saw Refused was on the '96 tour with Snapcase. It was in a terrible space outside of Reno, NV called Heritage Hall. The place had 7 foot ceiling and they built a stage that was maybe 2 inches high. Refused and Snapcase both played amazing sets regardless of the space. Everyone in Refused was kind and approachable. Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent is one of my all-time favorite hardcore albums due to the memories of that show. The next time that I saw Refused was at the Warfield in San Francisco on the reunion tour in 2012. Two amazing shows that will always be a part of my fondest memories.
I remember both shows well. Very very different shows. Haha.
Being from NYC. I got to see Born Against numerous ties. Essential stuff.
Jealous.
I grew up living with my uncle and grandma. My uncle was maybe 24 or something at the time and was a hardcore guy. I used to dig through his tapes, records, and cds. I found scratch the surface in his room. Changed my tastes. I must have been like 10. My uncle also gave me the shape of punk to come as a Christmas gift. I didn’t understand what I was hearing but I liked it. Fast forward to me at 36 years old and I still love those records so much.
Love it. A perfect uncle.
Snapcase for me... such an inspirational band and defintely had a hand in shaping me into who I am today
This is a vídeo I never knew I needed it. Thank you for being so prolific and pro-active. Your career is inspiring! Tack för allt nytt brus!
I agree with most of the choices. But missing Earth Crisis - Fire Storm or Gomorrah Season Ends. Shelter - Mantra, Crivits - Stare. But yes, to many good albums from the 90s.
Yeah, def need Earth Crisis and Shelter.
Shelter were more POst Hardcore
Did u listen to his intro?
Best hardcore bands of the 90’s imo
Stretch Armstrong
Refused
AVAIL
Hot Water Music
Underoath
Strongarm
Sick Of It All (started in 86 but I still consider them 90’s)
Shai Hulud
Downset
Downset
How i love the shape of punk to come.
What masterpiece.
Love this channel, Dennis. I look forward to every video. Thank you.
Thanks. Makes me really happy to hear.
Great list couldn’t agree more with all choices especially Breach and 108. I love the Profound 7” pre ManLiftingBanner.
BREACH!
new to the channel... awesome video! i appreciate the history and insight along with the list of favorites
This list brought me back. I was there and what a time it eas to be a music fan.
I would only mention the absence of Rorshach-Autopsy and Cave In-Until Your Heart Stops.
Rorschach almost made the list. Great band.
Great picks, nice to see Acme being mentioned.
Personally I'm overwhelmed by doing such lists since it's such a rabbit hole. Like you said, in the 90s there was so much different stuff going on simultaneously (yep, back then it was a lot "everyone hating each other" haha).
Just a few personal faves of mine that fit here: Yuppicide, His hero is gone, Rorschach, Boysetsfire, Shai Hulud...
And, altough they go much further than that small Hardcore-scene bubble, I'd definitely mention Fugazi, no matter what:- )
If it was just 90’s music Fugazi would be 5 out of the top ten. 😀
@@Dennisdeepcuts🙂
Thanks for your recommendations, Dennis! Now I finally know Ink&Dagger, how cool!
When I was a 14 year old girl none of my friends liked heavy music. I was all alone with that love and it was not easy to find new good stuff.
But then, I don’t remember how, I found that Snapcase Album and was blown away. Haven’t listened to it for years, but now the fire is back
Glad to hear that the fire is back. That makes making these lists worth it.
'Well Fed Fuck' by Born Against has to be one of my favourite hardcore tracks ever. Fantastic list Dennis, a couple of these records I've never heard, so will be checking those out immediately.
Born against is one of the best things to come out of the 90’s.
Just found the channel and immediately subscribed. Interesting list, enjoyed the love for Inside Out and the personal anecdotes!
Great list. Here are some of my picks
Raised Fist - Fuel
Madball - Demonstrating My Style
Lifetime - Jersey's Best Dancers
Kid Dynamite - Self titled
Sick of It All - Call To Arms
Madball and lifetime almost made the list.
@@Dennisdeepcuts I am surprised that Madball didn't make it on the list. Since almost every band tries to sound like them
monster x - to the positive youth 7''
I love it and consider it to be one of the best 90ies HC records for two reasons - great grindy HC & awesome hommage to older HC-legends!!!
Great list, all familiar and dear albums to me except Statue and ManLiftingBanner, which are the deep cuts I need to check out. Loved hearing your thoughts Dennis. Also loved seeing you with Refused in Helsinki a few years ago.
Here is my current list:
1. Refused - Everlasting (1995)
2. Bloodlet - Entheogen (1996)
3. Breach - It's Me God (1997)
4. Integrity - Systems Overload (1995)
5. 108 - Threefold Misery (1996)
6. Inner Dam - The Day Everything Meant Nothing (1997)
7. All Out War - Truth in the Age of Lies (1997)
8. Catharsis - Samsara (1997)
9. Damnation A.D. - No More Dreams of Happy Endings (1995)
10. Turmoil - From Bleeding Hands (1996)
Shape of Punk and Songs to Fan the Flames should be on the list, but I wanted to have one album per band. Feels weird leaving Snapcase and Earth Crisis out, but I could not squeeze them in.
Great lost.
That’s close to my top 10 90s, id have toe to toe in there somewhere
Great Show, great election of the records. So many Memories on this Time. Thanx for sharing….
Thanks Dennis for another fantastic episode! My 10 Hardcore bands from the 90es would be Abhinanda, Battery, Final Exit, Good Riddance, Refused, Shelter, Shield, Snapcase, Strain and Unbroken
Oh, as I‘ve missed that we were talking about Hardcore albums, I‘m going to change Shield for Nine - still Swedish Hardcore 😉
A few picks that weren’t mentioned in no particular order: Endpoint-Catharsis, Abhinanda-Senseless, Four Walls Falling-Culture Shock, Conviction-Despair (7” I know), Mouthpiece-What Was Said, Agnostic Front-One Voice, Lifetime-Hello Bastards. Too many good records
BORN AGAINST FOREVER.
Great list! Ringworm - The Promise, SOIA - Just Look Around, Strife - One Truth, Citizens Arrest - A Light In The Darkness (1990 and only an EP but hey!), Deadguy - Fixation On a Co-Worker, CIV - Set Your Goals are some that i’d might pick…just off the top of my head.
All great stuff. Love citizens arrest and they almost made the list.
I was a young kid during the years that this scene was active (I was 12-15 years old)...Out of the bands you named, Sick of it All and specifically their song Step Down was a HUGE influence on me and my friends. Brings back crazy memories to listen to it now
Really great picks nearly all of them are also in my Top 20. Some music i would add are: Groundwork - Today We Will Be Not Invisible Nor Silent, Threadbare - Feeling Older Faster, Outspoken - The Current EP, Strain - Here And Now, Culture - Born Of You, Morning Again - Hand Of Hope Compilation and Deadguy - Fixation On a Co-Worker. I also agree that Born Against and Inside Out have been both game changers.
Thanks for doing this Dennis! The record that stood out in this was the Breach record - because we don’t often hear about European hardcore (all the rest on the list are great don’t get me wrong - but for HXC heads, all well known). It would be amazing if you did a top 10 of European hardcore!
A European top ten of all time might be interesting.
Great episode. Won’t argue about the order of the picks or the album choices, but at the end of the day, Lifetime just has to be in there :)
Yeah. They were so close. Live lifetime.
A Great List Dennis, Snapcase, Born Against, Ink and Dagger! I had that album on vinyl and I let it go!! Just off the top of my head I would also add Converge, Cave in, Barrit, Catharsis, Reversal of Man, Anomie, The french screamo band. So many great 90s hardcore. It was a magical time. Thanks for the video!
Great content, keep it up.
I still have Holy Name on cassette
that I got when they toured on it.
Them opening for Shelter in that era with the monks was a surreal experience.
Scratch the Surface by SOIA doesn’t get enough love. Was stoked to see it here.
It’s fantastic.
i remember the ink & dagger tour, i was lucky enough to see you at the Bristol skate park..
It was a wild ride.
Decorative and vibrant thumbnails! Keep up the good work 👍🏾
My wife is doing all my thumbnails. I will tell her that you like it. It’ll make her happy.
I found refused like 2/3 years ago and I love you guys man
Thanks! Welcome to the party!
Oh man, Snapcase/Refused in a small venue in St. Louis was monumental. What a time.
Good times indeed.
Speaking of which… ruclips.net/video/xqv3oG8F6BI/видео.htmlsi=DPnaFQbvJFYagt6-
Well, that's a workdays long Playlist added to listen to. Thank you for these. Love what you are doing!
Thanks. Keep on watching and I’ll keep it coming.
90's hardcore had so much growth. Not sure how anyone could truly break it down to 10 albums. Interesting watch though. Brings back great memories. Please keep posting.
Yeah. It was much more difficult that I thought that it would be. But a fun exercise.
the second Life. Love. Regret. came into the frame I had goosebumps all over
Poison Idea-Feel The Darkness?
Yep. Totally spaced on it. Different world and different scene but one of the best hardcore albums of all time.
Torn Apart Ten Songs for Bleeding Hearts for me. Late 90’s but changed me from punk kid to fan of hardcore all hardcore dudes I knew were very aggro angry guys and that didn’t vibe with me these guys were more like me.
Rorschach - Protestant........undeniably one of the best
It’s a pretty fantastic album for sure.
Lucky enough to see Born Against a few times early on and they were absolutely incredible! Sam was so in your face! Perfect choice for #1.
Never saw them. Wish that I would have.
Great list! I’d add Poison Idea - Feel The Darkness, Citizens Arrest, Turning Point, Voorhees and H100s Dismantle 7”. Also, you need to write a book.
I totally spaced on poison idea cause it was so far removed from our world but it is indeed one of the best hardcore albums ever.
@@Dennisdeepcutsyeah it doesn’t really feel like a ‘90s’ record in the way the others do, they were in their own lane always
I don’t necessarily disagree with this list, just so much great hardcore, it’s a gargantuan task to try. So, good job on that. Also, I know you don’t like bragging on yourself, so I’ll say it for you: Refused “The Shape of Punk to Come” belongs on any serious list of the subject.
Haha. It’s a pretty good record but I can’t have my own music on the list.
Yes, UNBROKEN!!!
Never thought I'd hear someone mention the Inside Out 7 inch! Also my favorite release of the time. I saw them in CT USA. It was one the greatest sets I ever saw of any genre.
One time refused played that entire 7” from start to finish with Vic on guitar. It’s such a great record.
Dang. Snapcase is such an amazing band. I saw Snapcase, Quicksand and Deftones in Salt Lake City when I was 16. Back when the edge was strong! XXX 😊
Love your channel BTW. Are you an Iceburn fan by chance since u like all the Revelation stuff.
Is Revolutionary Front still big in Sweeden ?
I haven’t listened to iceburn in ages. But I do own some of their albums.
I was also lucky enough to see snapcase, strife and earth crisis back in the day. All great bands. There was one particular show in Riverside with Coelesce and bloodlet that really blew me away. My favorite album was definitely entheogen by bloodlet. Great album.
Bloodlet was definitely a killer band.
Talking about European bands, here some of my choices: Zorn - Denn alle Lust will Ewigkeit, Breach - It´s me God, ACME - To Reduce the Choir To One Soloist, Abhinanda- Senseless, Congress - The Other Cheek, Arkangel - Dead Man Walking, Nine - Kissed By the Misanthrope, Doughnuts - The Age Of The Circle, Man Lifting Banner - We Will Not Rest Compilation and Carol - Reconstructed.
Decent list. One band missing. 😀
@@BrendanSFA haha. Yeah, I think I know which one. To be honest I always thought of you more like an 80’s band. But great nonetheless. Hope that all is great!!!
Interesting list. European albums/bands worth mentioning: Congress - Blackened persistance (1995), Rykers - Ground zero (1996), Kindred - File 01 (1996), Acme - to reduce the choir... (1996), Kickback - Forever war (1997), Facedown - Beyond all horizons (1998), Arkangel - Prayers upon deaf ears (1998), Length of time - Approach To The New World (1998)
OMG! ink and dagger! when this came out I lived in france, the were supposed to play in lyon. I did not know any other hardcore-kids there, so I went there on my own for the weekend, show was cancelled. later I learned that they had an accident recently before that day... never saw them, really regret this.
Great list! I'm American but have a dear friend who grew up in Umea (in Stockholm now) who is such a Breach evangelist! My faves on here are the SOIA and Snapcase records, but i have to put a plug in for my favorite all time AVAIL. You could have put Dixie or Over the James on this list and it would have fit right in. Back in the day,they were one of the only bands i can remember that had everyone there. HC kids, crusties, metalheads, emo kids, skate punks..it was one beautiful scene.
Avail we’re really cool. But very much from a different scene and world. At least that’s how it felt.
@@Dennisdeepcuts I can totally see where you're coming from. I came up in Pittsburgh, US, and at least from my perspective saw them play with so many "traditional", for lack of a better word, hardcore bands that they felt like part of that scene. Given this opportunity at direct communication, I have to add that Refused (and your other work) was and is a hugely important band to me. Not just sonically, but what it conveyed, what it meant, what it promised, what it revealed. Thank you for making beautiful art and putting it into the world.
@@meatstaxxx Thanks. Makes me happy to hear! But I couldn't include my own music on the list...haha..
I actually agree with a lot of those. Some of them I hadn't heard of. I wasn't really exposed to much European Hardcore other than you guys. I haven't heard of Statue until now! It's so great! It clearly pulls from old D.C. stuff. That stuff is sacred to me! Avail would be another band. Specifically, Over The James. Still one of my all time favorite records. They wrote anthems.
Avail was really cool but to me, specially at the time, felt like they were from a different scene and world.
ink & dagger. hell yes!
Nice choices.
Especially good to see Breach, Sick of it all and Snapcase making the top ten. Still remember Bergslagsrocken in Fagersta 1994, probably the best band set-up ever for such a small venue.
Thanks also for ManLiftingBanner, I had not really looked into them before!
Bergslagsrocken was pretty damn excellent.
Bergslagsrocken was pretty damn excellent.
Jag var i Karlstad 1994 och såg 108, Refused och Abhinanda, fantastisk konsert. Minns även när Refused spelade på Smedjan i Köping och de lokala punkarna kastade "Dennis Hotdogs" på bandet. Fina minnen.
Haha. I Karlstad vart det nåt slags kaos med vakterna och 108 sångaren fick spendera natten i häktet och i Köping slogs vi med publiken. Två riktigt klassiska spelningar.
I love that Statue record. It's essential.
It’s pretty fantastic.
Thanks for the homework, Dennis! Lots of stuff I've not heard yet to check out.
In no particular order...
Hatebreed - under the knife
Earth Crisis - destroy the machines
Snapcase - lookinglasself
Vision of Disorder - self titled
Section 8 - pain is truth
Downset - self titled
Overcast - fight ambition to kill
Temperance - self titled
Path of Resistance - who dares wins
One King Down - bloodlust revenge
Honorable mentions...
Madball - set it off
25 ta Life - keepin’ it real
Converge - caring & killing
Probably no more left of centre than Ink and Dagger but Deadguy’s Fixation on a Coworker and Guilt’s Bardtown Ugly Box sat nicely alongside Refused and were amazing 90s HC albums. Also did you know that Eric from Tim and Eric was in Ink and Dagger at one point?
I did not know that. But that deadguy album is a killer album as well.
Deadguy was very underrated in the 90s. Always felt they stood in the shadows of the big Victory bands.
@@kayceeyou deadguy was great.
Posted before watching but for me its unbroken life live regret. 108 songs of seperation. Snapcase lookingglasself . Into another ignaures. Land of need world of greed comp. Vison of disorder.
Great list Dennis. My band would still do almost anything to play with Refused. We used to cover Rather Be Dead.
I was at the show in the P-Werk Blieskastel (which was a great place for HC shows in the 90s) with you and Ink and Dagger, and I remember how I first saw those guys with all that make-up and stuff. I really could not relate to it, so I never paid further attention to them. Think I‘m gonna check out that record now 25 years later.
It’s a really cool record!!!
Inside Out is supposed to be rereleased as a 12” with (at least) all six songs.
And I love that Statue made your great list.
The cd version of Inside out has 2 bonus tracks. Someone need to put it out as a 12”! Pronto. Haha.
So cool to see Dutch outfit MLB in that top 10! And it’s indeed a HC classic 34:32
One of my all time favorites.
@@DennisdeepcutsAlso check their latest input, " Red Fury". Its good. Their lyrics still relevant today!
@@nemanjaboskovic5675 I have it of course!!! 💪
Mon top 10
#1 Strife
#2 earth crisis
#3 Madball
#4 zao
#5 one4one
#6 morning again
#7 one king down
#8 snapcase
#9 warzone
#10 intigrity
Seriously a crazy undertaking to choose only 10. I would be curious if after you made this, if you have the same opinion in 2-3 months. I think my top 10 would change regularly. Next time, TOP TEN 10” records. 😂
It’s changed already. But these were the top ten I was feeling that week.
Oh, should be easy since I have a very limited amount of 10”. 😀
10"s are great, there just need to be more of them, all those 20min "albums" would fit nicely on them
Haha. They don’t fit in my collection.
what!? dennis runs a vlog? 50+ episodes? how come I've not noticed that?
pump the brake ahm, subscribe-button!!
Better late than never. Welcome.
Look up SInce the Fall -Full Length CD 1999. Reading Pennsylvania Metallic Hardcore band that was actually about to sign to Eulogy with Unearth after taking them on their first mini tour but Skinheads ruined a lot at that time. Mushmouth/ Out to Win was our "big Brother" band while we were teens.
Great list ( again). Would swap integrity, maybe soia, 108 for rorschach (remain sedate), threadbare and kindred. But statue can’t get enough praise
All good picks. Might make another list where Threadbare and Rorschach will for sure show up.
5:45 things start going
I’m not a fan of tough guy hardcore. I disagree with every album except for Ink and Dagger and Born Against (perhaps the best hardcore band ever, imo). Missing is Feel the Darkness (egregiously so), Frodus Conglomerate International, Refused - Shape ( for obvious reasons not included), The Word as Law, at least one Botch Record, at least on Converge record, the Propagandhi/I Spy split (not hardcore? You’re wrong), Dystopia, Damnation AD. What is hardcore anyway? The bands he passed on (Heroin, Moss Icon, etc were way batter than Integrity or Sick of it All ever were). Thank god The Shape of Punk was so amazing that he gets a pass! 😂
That’s the beauty of music. We don’t have to agree.
And I wouldn’t say that my list was tough guy hardcore.
I also wanted to make a list of the “scene” that we were a part of.
And I agree; that while scremo, noisy, scene was pretty amazing.
And yes, shape is a pretty good album. 😀
I saw Born Against on that tour with Rorschach. I remember I could either go to the show or buy Sonic hamburger. I bought the 7”with the orange sticker that had the band name with my next days meal money.
Good thinking!!
It’s interesting how people have had very different experiences and influences from this period. I didn’t like any of these bands haha. I definitely appreciate the musicianship of snapcase and how different they sounded but just could never get on with the vocals. A few I think still sound great today would be: Earth Crisis-Gomorrah’s season ends, CIV-set your goals, Turmoil-the process of, 411- this isn’t me, Battery-until the end. Obviously a lot of my influences come from Vegan Straight edge bands and musicians. Proudly still XVX and about to turn 50.
Those are all great picks.
And yeah, we all had different ideas about what that time meant.
The Monorchid’s Who put out the fire is my favorite.
It’s fantastic. But not really hardcore. But they were a great band.
Nice picks...
My Top3 90ies HC-albums have always been and will always be....
1. CHOKEHOLD - Content with dying
2. TRIAL - Are these our lives?
3. MORNING AGAIN - Hand of hope
I'am sure you know these records, but do you like them as well?
Not my faves but some stuff.
Waw man, that’s some obscure stuff ! For me, it’s the obvious bands, Battery, Crivits, The Spudmonsters (No Guarantees), 59 times the pain (sweden!), Ringworm, and of course i cannot leave Pro-pain “The truth hurts” and all the Biohazard stuff unmentioned. Also check out Hard Resistance from Belgium and Violation Of Trust from the Netherlands! Looking through my collection, i’m surprised how few 90s hardcore i have. I got that “Hold your ground” compilation and almost all the bands i liked are 80s bands. I’m more the punk hardcore kinda guy. Currently i’m searching old xChorusx stuff, but can’t even find a complete discography description on the internet or discogs…
There’s a Xchorus of DisapprovalX discography called Firm Standing Law (the cd version not the 10” version)
CIV “Set your goals” was a great record. 59 Times The Pain “end of the millennium”
Civ is great. Didn’t like it that much when it came out cause it was not Gorilla Biscuits but now when I listened to it I really enjoyed it.
411 - this isn't me
Snapcase - 🤷♂️ can't choose
Strife - one truth
Cause for alarm - beneath the wheel
Kill your idols - 🤷♂️ can't choose
Nerve agents - s/t
Hatebreed - satisfaction is the death of desire
Ryker's - a lesson in loyality
59 times the pain - 20% of my hand
Raised fist - fuel
Polestar - sky conquerors are falling ...
Refused - the shape of punk to come
Redemption 87 - s/t
Sry there are to many
Haha. There’s always more.
ManLiftingBanner are one of the very few bands from the 90s I can still spin in 2024. No ABC Diablo? Maybe on a different list in the future.
Different list. 😀
Yeah I agree on the 10 inches 😅
The worst format!!!
“Then again, Cro-Mags were hare-Krishnas. Look at them. They’re completely normal people.” HAHAHAHAHA
My favourites Hardcore álbuns of 90's is CRIVITS -"Stare"-1995(Netherlands), MANLIFTINGBANNER "The ten Inch that shook the world"1991(Netherlands), PAURA s/t-1996(Brasil), BETTER THAN A THOUSAND-"VALUE driven"-1999-(USA),WHERE FEAR AND WEAPONS MEET -" The weapon"-1999-(USA), DEADSTOOLPIGEON-"Strike Anthem"-1996-(Netherlands), AÇÃO DIRETA "Entre a bênção e o caos"-1996(Brasil), SODA- "Pencil fight"-1996-(USA).
Dead stool pigeon was amazing.
@@Dennisdeepcuts its really amazing, i have all cds and the complete discography in 3lp format released by Auto Reverse/Crucial Response (both versions,Red and Yellow).Cheers from Brasil and HIT THE BASTARDS WHERE IT HURTS!
breach is so good
Amazing!!!
ManLiftingBanner 👍🏻
The best!!!
Ink and Dagger’s Fine Art of Original Sin is the American Shape of Punk to Come (in many more ways than one).
I literally laughed out loud when he picked Scratch the Surface as one of the top 10 hardcore records of the 90s!
Lookingglassself is better than Progression through Unlearning.
That Breach record is great.
Humanity is the Devil is much better than Systems Overload.
I don’t understand why the Statue record qualifies, but No Spiritual Surrender doesn’t? (I also don’t understand how the Statue record is even a top 50 90s hardcore record…)
Los Crudos is a million times better than Manliftingbanner…
The Rebel Sound of Shit and Failure is not an album.
i have that Acme record. you want it?
i’ll mail it to you if you pay for shipping.
Thanks. That’s very generous. But I’ve already gotten my hands on it. 😀
any chances of bringin back the noise conspiracy?
My door is always open.
Bloodlet?
Great band but did not make the cut.
Mi perro sabe.
Unfortunately... Born Against's Mary & Child is more relevant in current USA society. Land of the free indeed....
Yeah, it is. And it should not be.
What a good band Breach was, didn't know them!
Great band!!!
Bruv, when you say there's gonna be a list you gotta get to it. I'm 5 in and nothing...
There’s a list. Just a lot of important nonsense as well.
Mainstream hardcore sucks.
What’s mainstream hardcore? And what’s not?
And hardcore was not by any stretch of the imagination mainstream in the 90’s. Or ever.
It's not even hardcore. 😂
