For that clean sound with tiny aspects of HC like TBS I've always put Funeral for a Friend and Boys Night Out in the same category. Along the lines of Alkaline Trio Saves the Day, The Arrivals or Hay Market Riot might meet your goals. Also Lawrence Arms.....everyone here seems to hate them but they are the best.

Static Prevails is my favorite JEW album. Along with that, I think their second self-titled album was the divisive change in sound between their emo beginnings and their pop-influenced future. Clarity was an amazing album and I will admit to listening to it much more than I should, simply because it was a beautiful, well-paced album and everything second self-titled and afterwards always felt like a different band (which I still enjoy from time to time...)

Edit: Bleed American is an awesome song. I agree on the Adkins' vocals but usually I am screaming the lyrics so loudly in my truck I can't really hear them.

The Judas Iscariot (90's jazzy drum&bass hardcore out of NY, not the black metal band) recently unearthed and uploaded a 14 year old album that never saw the light of day. It's been growing on me, because it fully rips.

http://thejudasiscariot.bandcamp.com/album/the-lost-prophets

It's a little less gritty and sloppy than their other stuff, but they make up for it with some excellent jazz sax trax. It's overall more solid than the split with Seein' Red, and that's a record I own two presses of.

Converge is definitely Metalcore, but I hear a lot of comments from the hardcore scene that Converge is a band they can still get into. I know the band members just consider themselves punk and it shows in their work ethic and style, I think.

The Germs are hardcore punk, but they blur the lines a lot between punk and hardcore punk, which was common for early hardcore bands to do (and still is with some). I tend to enjoy that kind of hardcore although I do enjoy listening to Charles Bronson or something like that every once in a while.

I know that describes me. I have some metalcore in my collection but I certainly only return to Converge. When I have a desire to listen to metal I usually listen to some classic black or death. If I'm looking for more of a punk influence I usually end up putting on some thrashcore or grind records like rear endück or some of the stuff on Earache, but that playlist always includes Converge.

I adhere to the 'get your high production values and technical skill (i.e. metal bullshit) out of my punk' school of thought, but post-1989 bands that are usually labeled hardcore and that I still find acceptable: Battery, Carry On, Raised Fist, Betrayed, Better Than A Thousand and Death Threat.

I'm not super well versed in hardcore, but I feel like 90-00 was very much characterized by the rise of post-hardcore and screamo. Screamo is probably not what you're looking for (and I honestly would not be the person to ask regarding it). With post-hardcore, it might be worth it to check out bands like Refused and Born Against, maybe even Fugazi. You also might enjoy some melodic hardcore like Kid Dynamite and Lifetime, but given that you mentioned Converge, probably not. Also, by Kylsea do you mena Kylesa? If you do, Kylesa are very much a metal band, and they don't really have anything in common with hardcore. They are awesome though.

e: These are pretty well known bands, but I'm just going in assuming you have zero knowledge. If you do, just disregard this I guess.
e2: the poster above me knows hardcore better than I do. I still think it's worth checking out some of these other bands though.

Ah, 90's hardcore. For me, that sound is a lot of the chugga-style guitars from bands like Earth Crisis, 25 Ta Life, or really just most of what Victory put out in that day. Some may say EC was metalcore, but I feel that with their sxe/vegan power message and all that they were kinda in the hardcore family.

Of course you have youth crew stuff and more traditional sounding hardcore like Judge (borderline late 80's-early 90's) or Ten Yard Fight, Strife, Madball.. Look to what was coming out of the NYC scene because for me, those bands define the sound of that time.

I think a band like Indecision (my favorite) could straddle the line between hardcore and the emerging metalcore sound of bands like Converge. Lots of bands were doing that, or even mixing in more sounds like Candiria.

Yeah, the term 'hardcore' is a bit ambiguous today, so I usually refrain from using it. I love punk in general, so I obviously love eighties American hardcore, but nowadays 'hardcore' mostly seems to apply to streamlined, take-themselves-too-seriously quasi-metalcore bands. Dommage. Here in Europe, it gets more confusing still, since many people will think you're referring to a form of techno when you talk about hardcore.

Still, I suppose I see some continuity between the first straight edge bands and today's hardcore. For example, instead of the self-righteous outrage of political punk or the proletarian catchiness of Oi!, you get truckloads of angsty self-referentiality to the point where it gets incredibly banal. The local hardcore scene in [random American city] used to be amazing until [trend or type of people] ruined everything? Intriguing! Please tell us more.

I really am putting way too much thought into this. It's totally not-punk to be concerned with these conceptual issues.

Yeah as I've gotten more into punk over the past couple of years I've started to see this. I tend to categorize stuff into genres (it's stupid, but makes sense in my head) but with punk I'm afraid to call anything a certain genre because of the inevitable "NO [insert band here] isn't real [insert genre here]!" It's not a huge problem, but drat some people will get angry about little things.

What exactly is hardcore than? The 2 listed (7 seconds and Shelter) sound completely different than what I thought. 7 seconds sounds like a regular punk song and Shelter sounds like 80's new age. Bands that Phlegmish mentioned (Battery, Carry On, Raised Fist, Betrayed, Better Than A Thousand and Death Threat) are more along what "I" thought hardcore "sounded" like. More grungy (dirty) sounding with more of a snarl vocals. Keep in mind, what I thought "hardcore" actually sounded like is most likely to change within the next few days when I go through your recommendations.
Thanks for the help ya'll.

I would define hardcore more by its historical origins, its continuity as a 'scene' and perhaps topics/attitude rather than by any definitive musical characteristics. In that sense, hardcore can apply to bands like 7 Seconds or Dag Nasty as well as to contemporary borderline metalcore bands. From what you've said in this thread, I'd say you're more interested in the latter type, and that's not my area of expertise.

All the hardline edgers here in Reno just poo poo themselves at 7 seconds not being called hardcore. It is glorious, and I'm going to tell Tom Mowat next time I see him, and we will laugh at the imagined hardliner frothing.

As far as hardcore, yeah, you have a lot of different things. Screamo and post-hardcore is hardcore style music I can hold my own about. Crust even more so. Straight edge I'm a little solid on because holy poo poo, do I live in the right city for straight edge. So I wanted to know if that kind of hardcore was something you were interested in. It's funny you mention Battery because of this also Omkara is the poo poo. So thinking of otherstuff here's a bunch of different hardcore genres: what do you think of these?

Powerviolence

Crust
Metalcore
Grindcore
Crossover
Crackrock Steady

Hardcore Punk
Screamo/Metalcore
