My favourite band atm. I guess it's metalcore but whatever

My mate's band Black Shapes are doing pretty well for themselves at the moment

The drummer Rich is a mate of mine, he was the temp-drummer for my old band before I joined and also drummed for local veterans From Grace and Break The Sky (black shapes guitarist was also in BTS). Break The Sky were fucking awesome, hands down the best tech/hardcore band to come out of this neck of the woods

Also, Capitalist Casualties aren't really considered a hardcore punk band per se, the kinda stuff they do is referred to as powerviolence.

Powerviolence is a microscene of thrashcore and thrashcore is just fast hardcore punk. It evolved straight out of noisey punk and proto-grind and fast hardcore from the mid '80s, especially Japanese stuff like Gauze and Euro bands like Lärm. Like the answer to deadly asking how they could be punk is easy; disregard mainstream rock publications and ESPECIALLY British rock journalism about what constitutes punk. Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed hardcore dead in '86 after the death of Black Flag (though by that time their label was mainly releasing indie rock anyway). However, Infest released one of the most influential pieces of American hardcore punk in '87 with their demo.

Powerviolence, grind, thrash, noisecore, it's all really bullshit that does nothing but describe one of many, many scenes of fast hardcore that sprung up in the mid to late '80s.

I find the whole Boston/NY tough guy proto-metalcore stuff far less "hardcore" than any thrashcore. It musically sounds a lot more metal to me than punk.

i think what i meant was that i never really see people call them or any other pv band "hardcore". not that pv =/= hardcore
