1. I'm more partial to Dropdead myself:

2. Don't know enough of their stuff to form an opinion but from the one song it sounds like a band i'd

like

3. Admittedly they have a very limited sound, but they do it better than almost anybody.

When I saw them the other night they played about a dozen songs in a ~20-minute set, and the energy level was off the charts.

*Edit: Meant to go under reply #2. I was referring to Dropdead.

4. In some ways the song reminded me a bit of pig destroyer

5. I would consider DD more or less a grind band, even if they'd consider themselves more hardcore

and are associated with that scene, especially old-school D-beat/crust kind of stuff.

6. Well for awhile I think there was definitely alot of blurred lined in hardcore with alot of genres

7. Very good friends of mine.

My husband worked for them for years.

8. That's cool I've seen them a couple times at different clubs around NYC and met them after both

What did your husband do for them

9. He tour managed and did their merch.

He toured Europe with them, which was a total trip.

10. I just wanna say

I love all the bands mentioned in this thread. I'm sad, though, that I have yet to see the Casualties live...DD and Pig Destroyer were well worth the price of admission...

11. I saw Pig Destroyer with I want to say Gwar for some reason but I have a feeling that the show

I'm thinking about was Dying Fetus and Gwar I was very inebriated but I know I have seen Pig Destroyer I just can't remember the tour

12. I have a friend in DC who just saw them

with Gwar at the GwarBQ in Richmond, VA - like this last week I think...there were a lot of bands on the bill - I don't especially care about Gwar but I woulda paid just to see PD again. She said it was a great time and great show. Corrosion of Conformity and Municipal Waste also plaid along with several others..

[Arcanetrance]

13. I like Gwar sometimes their albums are hit and miss with me I think I'm one of the only people out

there that finds Municipal Waste kinda overrated them and that band Toxic Holocaust

14. lol, MW are definitely over-rated

but still fun live...I think the best of the newer thrash bands is Warbringer:

Really nice kids - talked to the singer and guitarist for a few minutes at a show here a couple years ago - Before and after their set they manned their merch table section - they seemed like they were totally in it for the music which always impresses me more than slick advertising. I bought their CD on the spot - I hope they used the money for a beer or two.

15. Warbringer is pretty fun live they get a crowd going
