Sure, Dave Mustaine may have given-and then tentatively rescinded-his endorsement to Rick Santorum, but there's no reason why we can't get our Pit Romney on. Here's the latest and greatest in hardcore festival news... The Black N Blue Bowl proved once again why it is the year's most anticipated one-day hardcore event, revealing most of [...]
Self-titled albums are one thing. But when a band names one of its songs after itself - or, alternately, when a band names itself after one of its songs - it's a pretty big deal. The song itself comes off looking something like a mission statement, an encapsulation of everything that the band means. When Bad Company names a song "Bad Company," they want you to know that this song is what they're all about . Not too many bands have been brave enough to attempt this trick throughout history. For some reason, a lot of [...]
Unartig filmed the rare, unannounced performance from hardcore legends Youth of Today in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City on October 22, 2011. The band played the show for a tiny crowd of 100 people and filmmaker Torsten Meyer captured the performance.
by BBG After the boat cruise on Saturday , my original plan was to hit Santos for Youth of Today but that was before I heard about the surprise show at the infinitely smaller Acheron later that night (10/22). Featuring appearances from The Last Stand (mem Inhuman) and Mouthpiece , the show sold out around 12 midnight with 150 lucky people crammed into the venue. I caught some of The Last Stand's NYHC before slipping [...]
I just got an email informing me that Youth Of Today is playing Santos Party House with Kylesa, Mouthpiece, Trash Talk & more. Fucking Youth Of Today? I was never a big fan but these dudes are legendary and this show is going to be fucking apeshit nutso. Link: RSVP for Youth Of Today

"BIG PANTS WASTE PRECIOUS FABRIC" Step into my Nocturnus time machine and take a magical journey with me into a time long, long ago, an excursion into a world that scarcely resembles our own. In this world - we'll call it Moshtopia - hardcore kids are known for wearing giant, baggy pants, not skinny jeans; [...]
There are few things internet metal fans love more than rage-fueled pissing contests and/or petty flame wars about incredibly trivial, inconsequential topics. Which is the best Saxon album? Are Waking The Cadaver deathcore or slam?? How big is Danny Spitz' watch collection?! They've settled just about every argument there is to have regarding metal, but [...]
A few weeks ago, it was reported that Rival Schools were hitting the road with The Gaslight Anthem and had finally secured a timeframe for releasing their new album following multiple delays and pushbacks (the album was supposed to come out in February). Well, I can confirm that the album is indeed entitled Pedals and will be out March 8, 2011 through Photo Finish/Atlantic Records. By the time the new album is released it will have been nearly a decade since the band's classic debut, United By Fate , was released. And while we have [...]
Rival Schools formed in 1999 and released only one LP before they disbanded in 2003, following the departure of guitarist Ian Love. Aside from the fact that the band members logged time in well-known acts like Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, and Youth of Today, the band's only official full-length release, and debut album, United by Fate , became a sort of cult favorite. On the strength of both the band's pedigree and this debut, Rival Schools reunited in 2008 and performed a number of shows in Europe, offering up new material for the first time in years. The [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Noel Vasquez, Getty Images Though it might not come across in his music -- or his persona, in general -- Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn was once immersed in the Minneapolis hardcore scene. On the band's latest album, 'Heaven Is Whenever,' he reminisces about those days, specifically going to see Youth of Today and the violence that surrounded the shows, on the song 'Barely Breathing.'

![Review: Walter Schreifels | An Open Letter To The Scene [MP3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2535014_lg.jpg)
Perhaps the most surprising thing about Walter Schreifels ' new record is that it sounds completely effortless, like the hardcore/post-hardcore luminary is not even breaking a sweat, like the music simply exists out there in the universe waiting to flow through whenever Mr. Schreifels picks up a guitar and opens his mouth. There are, of course, other surprises: for example, sometimes when Schreifels here picks up a guitar and opens his mouth the music sounds like Squeeze , or John Cougar , or Maritime . But these surprises do not eclipse Schreifels' startling ease with acoustic [...]
Walter Schreifels is playing a CD release show tomorrow night at The Studio at Webster Hall. An Open Letter to the Scene comes out today on Academy Fight Song and this is Walter's first solo disc. This new disc is described as stripped-down, mostly acoustic arrangements which includes a cover of Agnostic Front's "Society Suckers" and a reworking of CIV's "Don't Gotta Prove It" (which was written by Walter). "I think it's about time for me to step out there on my own for a while now because lord knows I haven't [...]
Break down the walls - Youth of Today Give me a drum kit, sit me behind it and i'll habitually play the opening of this song. It's the perfect test pattern. Hit everything, hear everything, find your place amongst everything. I just hope no one notices it as me playing this song and leave it just as me testing the drums. I'm sure no one notices me. I just have a feeling it may be a little uncool to reference Youth of Today in [...]
