Mid 90s Hardcore

As promised, I've put together some tracks by bands I was really into when I was in high school. There are stories with everyone of the bands, which makes the fact that all of them are available in a subscription service that much more surreal.

Mid 90s Hardcore:
"1. More Hate Than Fear - One King Down (really good guys, headlined a show that Stan put on at the Bates Lodge)
2. Pins And Needles - Dead Guy (again, great guys...stood too close to the stage the first time we saw them in Keansburg...that's when we learned that Dead Guy was actually the "Swinging Guitar Band"
3. Free Mustache Rides (Single Version) - Dead Guy (same band name, but different singer...the new bassist ran a rehearsal studio in Red Bank that we frequented)
4. Deathbed - 108 (Hare Krishna band...broke up before I came on to the scene, but a heavy influence in the scene)
5. Proud To Be Straight - Ten Yard Fight (there was a running email chain between my brother and someone in the band...as their name implies, this was a band of militant straight-edge ex-football players)
6. Cognition (Single Version) - Snapcase (probably the only band that I'd still listen to...definitely the tightest hardcore band)
7. Come And Get It - Fury Of Five (Steve, fill in Fury of Five story here...among the trend-setters in announcing your band name in multiple songs)
8. Through And Through - Strife (straight-edge to the max...never my favorite, but listened to all their crap)
9. Washed Up At 18 - Floorpunch (against, militant straight-edge jocks who thought it was cool to terrorize people who weren't straight-edge)
10. The Saddest Day - Converge (sickest...live...show...EVER)
11. Firestorm - Earth Crisis (god, where to begin...should I start with the fake fur coat causing a riot at Middlesex County College, or the fight outside the church in Northern NJ...these were the most insane vegan straight-edge guys ever, and their fans made Beatle-mania look like the Seventh Day Adventists...I've been to Syracuse, and while it's a quaint town, how could anything so vial come out of it?)"

Two bands that stayed more on the DIY bent that I'd like to add to this list:
1) Mouthpiece - was at their final show in Princeton
2) Arcane - probably the most talented hardcore band in NJ...they could actually play their instruments and had lyrics like "Open your eyes to the lies of the presidency...robbin you blind!!!" And that was during CLINTON!

Enjoy! Spread the hardcore reality!
