my hardcore of the moment has been 80s jap hardcore. a lot of those bands make the rest of hardcore sound like top 40. GISM (detestation is def top 5 hardcore records ever), confuse, the violent party compilation, SOB (i just downloaded some cool as live album thats SOB playing with Hijokaidan and Eye back in the 80s, amazing mix of extreme noise and extreme punk), Gess, GAI, Gedon, i love all those bands. Is it just me or is Japanese music allways a slightly stranger variation of its American/European counterpart?
