this was the era when i was heavily involved in the hardcore scene (93-97), and it was a pretty interesting time period that often gets overlooked. it was very common to have many different styles represented at shows and fests. the art monk and ebullition bands along with very metallic straight edge bands like unbroken or chokehold. you also had the whole vegan movement, the krishnas, even some christian bands that rocked it like zao. many good memories. anybody got any old ashes 7 inches?

this is hardcore punk. no bands are ever gonna sound like this again, no matter how "emo" they try to be. that goes for all that new-jack shit like Saetia and all those clones. props for posting this.

@WordUpPeace4138 I had an ASHES 7" & the LP, "Hiding Places." Decent band. You are right in your post about several different types of bands on the bill together. GUILT, FRAIL, & JUNCTION would happen. Then CURRENT, CHOKEHOLD, & LOS CRUDOS. Fun times and great, great music! Great 'zines, great everything. Cute-ass hardcore chicks but everyone was afraid of sex for some reason. Like getting laid was anti-PC. Not me though, I chased a bunch of hardcore girls!

Wow. I never realized just how fluid Josh's drum transitions are in this song. Lincoln, alongside UDR, was the best bands in the scene back then. This era will never be repeated...all fucking gone. Lincoln was almost twenty goddamned years ago!!

Just love them!

[omrac77]

this makes me...SO FUCKING HAPPY...

when "emo" was "emo"

[fortyone92]

the lincoln/hoover split was rad also.

Thanks for compliments. I played all kinds of guitars. I was always looking for a diferent sound.

[moondog81]

extremo-core!

anyway, yeah, lincoln. so great. played a show with demko a few years ago. he and his wife doing improv jazz stuff. he plays drums, wife plays a fender rhodes. very huge departure from the heydays of lincoln, kukim, glendale, etc.

Hah, the guitarist has a jazzmaster. Not your stereotypical hardcore or emo guitar. Which leads me to believe that the other great bands of this time period - like Hoover, Clikatat, Moss Icon etc etc were just influenced by good music in general. Whereas the crap that came later on obviously just wanted to "sound" like bands that came before them. Punk zines only encouraged this clone like behavior... I won't mention one of them *cough* myocardial infarction (HaC) *cough*.
