Is melodic hardcore making a comeback? Maybe. Hopefully. In recent years there have been more and more bands playing hardcore in the vein of 2000s hardcore bands. Bent Blue is one of them. I hear some Dag Nasty and revolution summer influences, too. So if those are ingredients you like, you should give Bent Blue‘s Where Do Ripples Go? a listen.
This record is sooooo good. Happy to see it getting some love here.
ReplyDeleteIt was a grower for me, but now I‘m onboard!
DeleteJust to sound like a show off, I saw them play in California last year, but I didn't pick up any of their records cos I'm not into the records that the label makes.
ReplyDeleteI mean, we‘re running blogs dedicated to showing off (rare and/or expensive) records, so we‘re show offs by default, haha. Good for you that you saw them. I hope they were good.
