Wasted Youth

There have been at least three Wasted Youths. The first Wasted Youth were a punk/new wave group from Canning Town in east London who released several records on the Bridge House label in the late 70s. Similarly to early Only Ones their sound was very Lou Reed influenced. The first two singles "Jealousy" and "I'll Remember You" remain classics of their kind The second (sometimes known as "LA's Wasted Youth") was a band in early 80s from Los Angeles, California, who played classic hardcore punk.

There are apparently three entries for Johnny Cage. According to the similar artists, the more popular one would appear to be the Valencia, CA hardcore act Johnny Cage.

The Dead Walk!

At a time where image seems more important to a band then music, THE DEAD WALK! are a breath of fresh air, bringing back old school hardcore to the forefront and embracing a time where message meant more than image. Formed in late 2004 from the ashes of Life Love Regret and No Jazz Before The Rumble, THE DEAD WALK! attracted instant attention due to each members long history in the Newcastle and Sydney hardcore scenes.

New Morality

Band bios are usually a bunch of regurgitated bullshit overfilled with descriptive words and adjectives that add up to, well, bullshit. Getting quickly to the point here; NEW MORALITY from The Netherlands was formed late 2004 by a bunch of friends with the same hardcore mindset: pure anarchy. In the past years, they've self released a demo, compilations, an MCD, a split 7" and a recent promo CD, played various shows all over Europe and the band pretty much booked all of those shows by themselves.

Look My Way

LOOK MY WAY was born in the summer of 2010 with the goal to create heavy, blood pumping hardcore with origins based in classic east coast hc bands such as AF, JUDGE, MADBALL, MERAUDER and newer bands such as DEATH THREAT, 100 DEMONS, old HATEBREED. Each member of LMW comes from different kind of background and bands (another victory,kill this dream,cheap thrills etc.), but everyone shares the passion for grassroots hc, it was just a matter of time until they found each other to do this band.
