American Hardcore : The History Of American Punk Rock 1980 - 1986

These songs are a Sonic complement to the Film " AMERICAN HARDCORE " .
Most of them appear in the film , and they are all exemplify the early - 80's rise of HARDCORE .- A Musical and Cultural Revolution born of suburban ennui that ignited a national movement .

HARDCORE Music was a new form - short , dissonant blasts , Ungry Sociopolitical lyrics delivered as a primal scream - with little regard for previous tradition and Low Budget recordings with emphasis on intesity and attitude .

HARCORE was more than just music . With No Major Companies , Managers , or Agents involved .
It was the dawn of the diy spirit , and much of the independent Rock Vibe we still see today arose from that initial Ethos .

AMERICAN HARDCORE pays tribute to the Pioneers of the Movement .
It's a testament to the strength of unity and dedication to a common belief , the undeniable power of youth , and the need to rebel against a Fucked-Up world .

AMERICAN HARDCORE is a sobering social commentary on America in the early 1980's , and by implication , an indictment of what's up today .

Το Σιντάκι είναι μία ευγενική χορηγία του σκατοπάνκη φίλου μου Τάσου .
( Α ! Να χαθείς Αλητήριε !!! )

Μαζί με το δισκάκι , πήρα δώρο μία Τοστιέρα - οδοντόβουρτσα ( Ψήνει τοστ και σου πλένει μετά τα δόντια ) , μία κουρευτική μηχανή του Γκαζόν για να ξυρίζω τις μασχάλες μου , καθώς και πολύ αέρα μαζί με έναν αναπτήρα Μπικ για να κάνω Αερόμπικ στο φιδίσιο κορμί μου .
