Hardcore is a culture and way of life as shown in this unrelenting 'Under the Influence' first episode by Noisey.
The first of many episodes released in 2015 from Noisey, looks into the influence of hardcore, demonstrating that it was and still is not only a genre but a state of mind that lives on today. 'Under the Influence: New York Hardcore' takes you from the concrete streets of the Lower East Side to crossing the globe to South Korea, in order to examine one of the most distinctive genres from New York City. The influence is captured with interviews from not only artists who helped give rise to the scene but the crowd that have been inspired to apply HC ideals into their own lives. This doc, narrated by Tim Armstrong, is authentic in its approach and will have you appreciating more than ever the power of hardcore and what it means to be part of it.
Only 27 minutes long and well worth the watch, the full episode is below.
The kind of music that will drown and absorb you just through listening is pretty much anything to do with Jack White. One of his side projects, The Raconteurs offers up the goods with 'Salute Your Solution'.
It's time for a full playlist to kick start the weekend, and this one is filled with non-stop bangers. Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's, 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', has become a cult classic that is visually incredible and the soundtrack is filled with killer songs from the 60's and 70's, plus Vegas style classics that make this a fun ride.
It's 2am, feeling alright, just getting started tonight...A bit of no-frills garage rock from LA based band, The Black Tibetans, is giving us those Friday feels in 'You're Cold'.
