Hardcore punk

Back in the beginning of the eighties there was a strong underground movement that was named hardcore punk. It revolved around teenagers, mostly boys that would form bands and set up some portable bleachers and perform a short set of songs. For many individuals, when they think of hardcore, the primary place they consider is New York. And with great cause too, the N.Y.H.C. film scene is actually maybe one of the well-known on the earth of heavy music. Bands like Black Flag, the Germs, Middle Class, Fear, Fugazi, Sick of It All, Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and the Rollins Band were well known. Hardcore bands initially were rhythmically looser and heavier than their forerunners like The Clash, and the Sex Pistols and played with more intensity than punk bands generally did. Afterwards the movement began to tighten rhythmically and the intensity increased as bands incorporated the energy of genres such as heavy metal into their sonic repertoire. In addition the style incorporates the social activism and political consciousness, anarchism of other movements with it to create a movement very distinct from its punk origins. FELON is a hardcore Brooklyn band, which inspires its songs from the streets and the world situation and expresses its rebellion character. Their songs vary from UK 80's hardcore to crust punk.
