what do you think of Trial?

I couldn't agree more. They aren't exactly what I think of when I think "hardcore punk" but anyone who enjoys music should listen to the Blood Brothers, and Burn Piano Island, Burn is definately their best CD.

Also, INDK were a pretty good hardcore punk band. Their only CD is "Kill Whitey!" but their are some other songs from EPs, demos, and such floating around.

I also like a lot of the newer hardcore that kids these days are splitting up into every conceivable genre (metalcore, mathcore, deathcore, etc.) but that stuff is quite a bit different than the original hardcore punk. Still good, though.

I dig, not a big double bass pedal fan though, too metally.

awww, i actually thought those guys were cool.

Black Flag

Good clean fun??

Double kick pwns your face.
Just kidding, but I still love double kick bass. It can be overused, though, and often is.

I like the Circle Jerks a lot, one of my favorite 80's punk bands. I might even like them more than Black Flag, because Keith Morris is probably my favorite Black Flag singer.

I haven't been able to listen to Bad Brains since I heard a lot about them being homophobes. Although it might be unfair since I don't know for sure. However, I would never listen to a band that I know is homophobic, because thats just ****ed up. Just like I don't listen to racist bands.

Also, the Misfits aren't the hardestcore, but they are still probably my favorite band of all time. Just avoid post-Danzig albums.

Well unfortunately, the Reggae/Jamaican culture has a tendency to be homophobic. My roommate is right off the boat from Jamaica and in his town, homosexuals are routinely beaten to death in the main streets.

Thats a sad thing to hear. Unfortunately humans in general have a tendency to be homophobic, thanks to age old religious dogmas and intolerances.
