yeah power violence is a crappy name for a genre anyway. so is screamo. i mostly just call all those bands hardcore. just back then if you called a band screamo you knew they didn't sound like earth crisis or strife and if you called a band hardcore you knew they did sound similar to those bands.

spazz and charles bronson are such good quickies. The spazz gummo love theme is epic. They branched me off to Le Scrawl.

atsonicpark · 12.17.2008, 02:29 AM

Le Scrawl are amazing.

I could never say with a straight face that I like 'power violence' music...
What a dumb fucking name.

Derek · 12.17.2008, 07:56 AM

It's just a name, who cares.

atsonicpark · 12.17.2008, 07:56 AM

every genre name is dumb. who cares?

Derek · 12.17.2008, 08:05 AM

I general just group everything like that in either "hardcore" and "post-hardcore". Screamo being more leaned to post-hardcore I guess. I think the only band I have categorized on my computer as "screamo" is Orchid.

Rob Instigator · 12.17.2008, 02:13 PM

so, is the Locust one of these bands?

and why not?

isn't "aggresive hardcore" redundant?

Perhaps a little. I guess I feel the need to distinguish between hardcore like Black Flag and Minor Threat and those bands, like Los Crudos, where everything is amped up two notches or so.

Rob Instigator · 12.17.2008, 02:26 PM

that is true. it all sounds to me like a cross between hardcore and grindcore, like grindcore without the "METAL RIFFS" you know? some good stuff, but, like much hardcore, painful after more than 15 minutes. I like that these bands release tiny EP's on 7" vinyl. that is the perfect dose to get it.

Yes. 7" seem optimal for a hc record ( 10 songs, 10 min ). Hc Lp's often last 20 min, that's alright too.
The anti-example is GBH-city babies attacked by rats.
The songs are too long, there are too many songs, it could have been a cool ep.

Oh come on, Power Violence is just downright cheesy. Imagine if you will, that you are unaware of such a genre and you ask someone what kind of music they like and they say, "POWER VIOLENCE". YOu would laugh... I promise.

i guess in the late 90's you could call the locust "screamo". i'm guessing that they got that tag from their relation with the san diego scene and they didn't play chugga chugga hardcore riffs.

the locust only had one decent release and that was their first ep. the rest of their stuff is god awful.

gualbert · 12.17.2008, 05:21 PM

Is it worse than "thrash", or "soul", or most of other genre names?
