Since 2009 we are bringing you the best of our research. Research done in several fields like H8000 Hardcore, Nineties Hardcore, personal interviews and various records. Elaborated with texts, photos, videos and audio samples.
H8000 Hardcore
We were the first to start publishing the history of the H8000 Hardcore scene. And we did it online through this website.
Nineties Hardcore
Besides our local scene, other cities and countries are documented as well. Find history about the scenes in the USA, France, The Netherlands, Italy and more as well.
Interviews
Find interviews and Q&A with people from various scenes. Like Josh Fury of Congress, Hans Liar, Agus, Tim Rule and more.
Record reviews
Records are the best source for Hardcore Punk music, lyrics and photos. So this is why we collect and review them.
