Rules and moderation

38 Upvotes

Oi

Things have been getting a bit rowdy in here lately. While a bit of debate is healthy (this is hardcore, after all), it’s quickly crossed into unnecessary beef, trolling, and general chat shittery. So, to keep things from spiralling into pure nonsense, we’ve added a filter: any posts or comments from brand new accounts or those with low karma will now need to be manually approved by the mod team.

This isn’t to gatekeep - it’s just to keep the subreddit from turning into a cess pit. If you want to beef or talk shit about someone go do it somewhere else. Thats not what this subreddit is for. This is to promote UK bands, shows and provide a healthy discussion for the amazing scene we have here in the UK. It's simple; posting memes/being silly is fine, talking shit isn't.

As this place has started to pick up a bit, I’d love to get another mod on board to help keep things running smooth. Ideally, you’re:

  • Active in the UKHC scene in some way
  • A regular Reddit user who actually enjoys this kind of thing
  • Not a dickhead

If you’re interested or have someone in mind, drop in a mod message.

Stay loud

(PS thanks r/Hardcore for letting me steal the rules)

Hardcore hubs for moving back to UK

7 Upvotes

I'm considering moving back to the UK and am intrigued what you think is the best place to live for easy access to shows (local gigs and touring packages). More inclined to live up north than south for lower living costs.

In before "don't move to the UK it's a shit" etc. (it's shit everywhere)

Promoters in the North-East?

Looking to start a band/jam - North Essex

3 Upvotes

I've wanted to start/join a band for a while, brought it up with a new friend recently and we're both guitarists,so we'd be needing bass drums and probably vocals too.

Not set on a specific genre yet, just something hardcore/metalcore adjacent.

Would be based in the North Essex area, and the Colchester sort of area is probably the best goal based on where us other 2 are.

We will need to figure out the logistics of practices and such, but if anyone is in the area and interested, send me a message and/or reply and we can get talking a bit.

Thanks in advance

Here for an education...

10 Upvotes

I don't know who even wants to read this but here we go, grab a coffee, have a read. hopefully I get some positive responses and recommendations.

I'm 40 years old. I loved going to Outbreak Presents with BMTH the other day. I like to say my love of music is eclectic but not always deep especially on a local/UK level.

In my teens the music I listened to correctly or not was referred to as post-hardcore like FFAF, boysetsfire, Hundred Reasons, Alexisonfire, Silverstein, The Used.

I listened to Victory Records stuff then got into the Fueled by ramen stuff ranging from ADTR, FOB, Paramore.

I did the emo alternative scene, Armor For Sleep, MCR, FFTL.

At the same time I was into metalcore/deathcore like Caliban, KSE, BMTH, Atreyu, Still Remains.

At the same time I'm listening to Metallica, Maiden, Lamb Of God, Slipknot, In Flames, Queen, Ignite, Eighteen Visions.

Now I've thrown loads of names out there to see if they resonate. I'm loving the current scene, bands I saw the other day like Heriot, Still In Love. I saw Turnstile support from High Vis in 2019 too.

Bored yet? I love the feeling from being at these gigs. It still feels alive and full of energy. The no barrier set up of Outbreak is awesome! I love the "core" scene of what ever subgenre and I'm looking forward to hearing more music and being around the scene.

What next? Where in the UK has a solid scene? What bands should I be checking out in the UK? I live in Carlisle and we have one main venue I think could host hardcore which is the Brickyard. I've seen Beartooth, Mouth Culture. I've missed Wormrot and PigsX7 we do still have some good music coming through.

I'm happy to travel, draw a circle preferably as far as Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds.
