 AMERICAN HARDCORE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Hardcore is strongest when it explores the original birthplaces of the movement: Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Hardcore erupted in southern California on the heels of Greg Ginn’s Black Flag, the first hardcore band following New York’s nascent and largely poppy punk movement of the mid 1970s.
Hardcore then shifts gears and takes the audience across the country, where another, concurrent movement was forming in the middle-class neighborhoods of D.C., as African-American hardcore band the Bad Brains played shows in V.F.W. halls to audiences of high-schoolers in the early ’80s.
