Be careful with that everyone, I just read through their Extra Cash account terms and taking that $500 without having your own money in the Dave account makes your Dave account "negative" and they reserve the right to take that money back from your linked bank account at any time. Even the following day if they wanted regardless of whether or not that money is in your bank account. It's "up to their discretion based on your account activity" if I'm reading this right. It's just a loan with extra steps and the wording can be abused to screw people if they wanted too. Not saying they will, but companies will be companies ya know?

Saw Drain earlier this year with Comeback Kid which was absolutely amazing to see ( No security or Barriers ). Gag have just done a run of shows around Australia which were phenomenal.

Thanks, I'm making a playlist with these bands so I don't lose track of them

[@petemcardlejr1594]

Soul Glo is one of my favorite current hardcore bands

[@Rahjhh5]

Is that a coming to America reference?😂

[@petemcardlejr1594]

I wish Dave was just some normal dude who decided to sponsor your video and you just talked about how great Dave is

[@xyourarsonistx3826]

Finally an End It shoutout! ❤

[@That_guy_mike.]

Obligatory kubhlai khan tx mention but also a couple new groups I’ve really been into are UnityTX (hiphop metalcore/hardcore) Truth Cult (dc/Baltimore group that sounds like a more chaotic Title Fight) and Limbs (straight metalcore) Also gotta mention Judiciary, The Armed, Soul Glo and Hesitation Wounds

[@Houston_Smh]

Thanks for putting me onto Truth Cult 🙌

[@That_guy_mike.]

@@Houston_Smh glad you like them my dude. it’s been a year since my comment so some new finds include Ambleside (check out the song wash away), Mile End, Sufferer (metalcore group made up of member from I the mighty and A lot like birds, put out a wild concept album about depression and anxiety) and Teeth

great vid as usual! my alltime favorite style hardcore had the absolute pleasure of seeing so many great shows in the late 90s and early and mid 2000s in the philadelphia area just great times so much fun saw so many great shows at the church i.m.o. one of the eastcoast meccas of hardcore, although i dont go to shows anymore but heads up for the elders out there who still like to listen to whats out there in hardcore because as the vid points out so many great bands but if you have amazon prime music they have a new school hardcore playlist thats updated occasionally and all of these bands and the ones finn mentioned are all on there.

Advertisements: are you POSITIVE you dont need more cargo shorts?

[@TheFriskyComiskey]

Obviously Knocked Loose is hands down the best rising hardcore band.

[@silverpunk2427]

Thank you for this. I've been on the hunt for more thrash hardcore stuff. Mindforce has been in heavy rotation on my playlist.

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

i've been into hardcore since 1997. i went to a non-denominational Christian school and discovered the Living Sacrifice album "Reborn" via one of my friend's older brother. STILL a KILLER album, btw. glad to see hardcore is alive and well these days. and shout out to DRAIN. 😎 i've been all over their new album for the last several days now. fantastic record.

[@bucknasty69]

Living Sacrifice is so good!

[@jeremykenward3082]

Got into it a few years after you, but had a similar start. Stretch Arm Strong was the band that really hooked me...maybe around 2000

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

@@jeremykenward3082 dude Stretch was the shit. I forgot about them so thanks for the reminder 😎👍

[@rockerguy890]

i think its amazing that sunami covered animosity

[@tooruoikawa8985]

Finn thank you for the Merauder shout out! I’ve been saying that they are the low key biggest influences on the whole hardcore industry.

[@havoc_theory]

Love that kublai khan is getting attention

[@reidellis1988]

I'm almost 53. I have been going to shows for almost 4 decades. Inclination, An unaltered perspective. Fuckin Rad. They all are.

[@goner.9989]

I fucking LOVE Scowl. They’re pissed, but they got some depth and personality. Kublai khan is amazing also, but maybe they’re too much metalcore leaning for this list.

[@jacobalberga3149]

Amazing video Finn!! Thanks much and keep it up brother!!

[@Shibby27ify]

I was a late 90's/early 2000's hardcore (hatebreed, all out war, VOD, earth crisis, E-town, candiria...) fan and stuff these days are just as good. My favs are God's Hate, Jesus Piece, Tsunami, End It, Queensway, and an unknown band called Sujera from Brazil

[@Gorack88]

Baseball is a thinking man’s game. Some of the most exciting times of my life have come from link shows and baseball games.

[@THESTRONGALBERT]

I really like Incendiary. Definitely gonna check out some of these bands

[@dontgojohnson]

Finn you read my mind, I’ve been on a hardcore kick and was about to jump into your DMs for suggestions and now I don’t have to lol
