HardLore

The time has come… After crowning the best 1980’s and 1990’s hardcore bands in heated tournament brackets, we are now crowning the best 2000’s (2000-2009) hardcore band of all time…We lived through this era so we’re finally qualified to weigh in (lol), so sit back, don’t relax, and be prepared to yell at the screen as we put 64 of the best bands of the new millennium head to head to battle it out.____________________Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)HardLore: A Knotfest SeriesJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comGet 10% off GUILTY PARTY site-wide with code HARDLORE and grab some of our favorite clothing brands of all time: https://www.guiltyparty.co/Get 15% off MILLS VINTAGE site-wide with code HARDLORE: https://www.millsvintageusa.com/Get 15% off TIMELESS COFEE site-wide, including coffee subscriptions, cookies and cakes with code HARDLORE:  https://timelesscoffee.com/ FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE_______________00:00:00 - Start00:03:36 - Converge vs. Rampage00:05:24 - Bitter End vs. The Hope Conspiracy00:06:35 - The First Call00:09:12 - Trapped Under Ice vs. Violation00:10:50 - Shattered Realm vs. Born From Pain00:12:21 - Framtid vs.Think I Care00:15:08 - Carry On Vs Justice00:16:05 - Trash Talk vs.Pulling Teeth00:18:12 - Iron Age vs.The Promise00:20:53 - No Warning vs. Bracewar00:22:08 - Ceremony vs. New Lows00:24:07 - Cold World vs. Donnybrook00:27:05 - Piece by Piece vs. Reach The Sky00:29:11 - Mental vs. Extortion00:31:20 - Tragedy vs. 86 Mentality00:33:08 - American Nightmare vs. First Blood00:34:47 - Rise And Fall vs. The Killer00:38:35 - Left Side Recap 100:39:15 - Down To Nothing vs. Wisdom In Chains00:43:06 - Cursed vs. Count Me Out00:44:27 - Stout vs. Deadstop00:45:58 - Pardon This Interruption00:51:40 - Comeback Kid vs. Ramallah00:54:57 - Terror vs. Betrayed00:55:43 - Cruel Hand vs. World Collapse00:58:45 - Outbreak vs. Guns Up!01:01:07 - 100 Demons vs. Go It Alone01:02:41 - Righteous Jams vs. Suicide File01:04:56 - Internal Affairs vs. Lights Out01:06:11 - Bane vs. Desperate Measures01:07:39 - Knuckle Dust vs. Numb01:09:42 - Throwdown vs.Death Before Dishonor01:12:44 - Blacklisted vs. The Warriors01:13:56 - From Ashes Rise vs. Allegiance01:14:48 - Round 2...01:15:15 - Converge vs. Bitter End01:16:02 - Trapped Under Ice vs. Shattered Realm01:16:23 - Framtid vs. Carry On01:16:36 - Pulling Teeth vs. Iron Age01:17:18 - No Warning vs. Ceremony01:18:42 - Cold World vs. Piece by Piece01:20:57 - Mental vs. Tragedy01:23:53 - American Nightmare vs. Rise And Fall01:24:03 - Left Side Round 2 Winners01:24:19 - Down To Nothing vs. Have Heart01:24:57 - Count Me Out vs. Stout01:25:38 - Comeback Kid vs. Terror01:25:55 - Cruel Hand vs. Outbreak01:26:30 - 100 Demons vs. Righteous Jams01:27:18 - Internal Affairs vs. Bane01:28:43 - Numb vs. Throwdown01:29:56 - Blacklisted vs. From Ashes Rise01:33:34 - Round 3...01:33:56 - Converge vs. Trapped Under Ice01:35:16 - Carry On vs. Iron Age01:36:18 - No Warning vs. Cold World01:37:32 - Mental vs. American Nightmare01:39:16 - Round 3...01:39:27 - Have Heart vs. Stout01:40:16 - Terror vs. Cruel Hand01:40:28 - 100 Demons vs. Internal Affairs01:40:48 - Throwdown vs. Blacklisted01:41:12 - Quarter Finals....01:41:45 - Trapped Under Ice vs. Carry On01:42:41 - No Warning vs. American Nightmare01:43:54 - Semi Finals Left Side Recap01:44:03 - Have Heart vs. Terror01:45:02 - 100 Demons vs. Blacklisted01:52:56 - Trapped Under Ice vs. No Warning01:53:43 - Terror vs.100 Demons01:54:32 - The Finals...

We're joined by one of the most iconic bass players in the history of hardcore music, Craig Setari AKA Craig Ahead of Straight Ahead and Sick of it All, and formerly of Youth of Today, Agnostic Front, Rest in Pieces and more.We talked in depth about the short history, but long legacy of Straight Ahead, including their upcoming reunion on April 25th, 2026, why he chose to quit Youth of Today, joining Agnostic Front for "One Voice," and ultimately his career defining role for over 30 years in SICK OF IT ALL.This is our first ever single full three hour sit down with a guest, and it’s for damn good reason. There are only so many pioneers of this genre, and Craig is one of the greatest to ever do it. Enjoy.______________________Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)HardLore: A Knotfest SeriesJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef__________________Cool links:• HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com• Get 15% off MILLS VINTAGE site-wide with code HARDLORE: https://www.millsvintageusa.com/• Get 15% off TIMELESS COFEE site-wide, including coffee subscriptions, cookies and cakes with code HARDLORE:  https://timelesscoffee.com/_____________________FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovngFOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe#HARDLORE #HARDCORE_____________00:00:00 - Start00:02:39 - Young Craig Setari, Growing Up in Queens00:06:08 - Dan Lilker & Discovering Bass Guitar00:11:00 - Meeting Tommy Carroll00:12:09 - NYC Mayhem, The First Blast Beat00:22:26 - Straight Ahead (is back)00:29:06 - Straight Ahead Discography00:35:17 - Youth of Today, Playing on "Break Down The Walls"00:49:58 - Quitting Youth of Today00:53:41 - Recording "Breakaway"01:03:47 - Craig & Armand 40 Years Later, Looking Back at Straight Ahead01:08:52 - Daniel Rakowitz01:11:04 - Lower East Side01:18:48 - Straight Ahead Reunion in 1988, Pete's Sake Benefit Show01:22:34 - Joining Agnostic Front, Going in With Sneakers & Leaving With Boots01:34:27 - Pardon This Interruption...01:38:26 - "One Voice" & Matt Henderson01:46:18 - BJ Papas01:50:16 - Helping Sick of it All with "Blood, Sweat & No Tears"01:56:50 - Officially Joining Sick of it All02:01:48 - The Double Bass Strap02:06:02 - Scratch The Surface02:08:47 - Step Down Music Video02:16:46 - Europe Becoming the Hardcore Hub02:18:17 - Built To Last02:24:45 - MAFIA02:27:02 - Touring in 95-9902:27:57 - Call To Arms02:37:38 - Mobb Deep Using The Dragon02:40:21 - Big Foot02:46:36 - What's Changed for Sick of it All?02:55:59 - Modern Bands Carrying The Torch02:57:52 - Stand Out CBGB's Moment03:00:10 - Fast Food03:02:38 - Top 4 HC records Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're finally joined by Floorpunch vocalist Mark Porter for an in-depth, comprehensive conversation about the entire history of one of the best straight edge hardcore bands ever.From the first time Porter witnessed someone Floorpunching at a show, their initial formation after being collectively frustrated at a Snapcase show while lamenting what hardcore had become by 1995, all the way through to their legendary "last show" at CBGBs with Breakdown and the Cro-Mags.Grab your copy of Shining Life Press' incredible Floorpunch book, follow along with this extensive firsthand account of Floorpunch from 1995-2000 (and beyond) and enjoy this amazing episode with a bucket list guest for us and a band we love. _______________________Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepod Join the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links: HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com Visit GUILTY PARTY, our favorite menswear store in North America and get 10% off site-wide with code HARDLORE: https://www.guiltyparty.co Try AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free hat, flavor sampler kit, vitamin D/K drops, and an AGZ sample. Get 15% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code HARDLORE at MANSCAPED.com! FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepod SPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrp APPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/  FOLLOW BO: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE_________________________00:00:00 - Start00:00:49 - Introduction00:02:23 - Floorpunch: No Exceptions00:06:57 - Kev One in the Slayer Pit00:09:31 - Hardcore In the 80's and 90's00:13:54 - Straight Edge00:15:09 - Witnessing Early Floorpunching00:17:22 - Aunt Carol00:21:39 - Edge Breaks00:25:37 - CBGB's00:32:27 -  Porter The Sports Guy00:38:26 - FLOORPUNCH00:45:55 - Hearing The Demo00:50:06 - First Show00:53:46 - Floorpunch Straight Edge vs Earth Crisis Straight Edge00:55:40 - The Yogurt Incident01:01:04 - Pardon This Interruption01:06:56 - Revisiting The Floorpunch Demo01:13:23 - First time playing Philly01:15:17 - Ten Yard Fight01:16:19 - Best Floorpunch Show01:22:28 - Division 1 Champs01:25:12 - “Floorpunch On Gold”01:28:28 - Playing With Breakdown01:30:11 - Floorpunch vs Ensign Football Game01:32:14 - Merch01:37:30 - Death Metal01:43:14 - Fast Times…01:46:43 - Let It Ride01:51:23 - Fast Times01:57:32 - San Fransisco Brawl02:00:19 - Todd Jones02:02:22 - European Tour02:09:07 - Touring The US and Food02:11:37 - The Final Mosh02:17:59 - Staying in Touch With Hardcore02:20:25 - 2007 Reunion02:22:30 - World War 4 Demo02:26:43 - We Just Might vs Time To Forgive02:33:08 - Greatest Straight Edge Band Of All Time02:36:38 - 9/1102:39:55 - Top 4 HC records of All Time Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
