OFF!
I'm only familiar with their release promptly titled
First Four EPs but it's some top notch early hardcore scene worship. Heavily influenced by the likes of Black Flag (probably because Keith Morris is the vocalist for OFF! as well), this thing is hooky and just the right amount of punchy. It's not going to bash you over the head with crazy syncopated guitar riffs or the angular all over the place composition that I like in my heavier stuff, but what it will do is bring you right back to the glory days of hardcore. You don't really need to look too far into this one, just put it on and crack a beer, it's guaranteed to please.
