i love the power violence genre, once hardcore got lame and became a buncha jock bands singing about revengre, there were a few logical progressions from hardcore. some bands sped up their sound and tightened their approach and added solos and went the way of thrash, like dri, suicidal tendencies, cro mags, corrosion of conformity, etc... some bands added blast beats and got a hell of a lot louder and became grindcore, like sob, napalm death whatever. and then there were those bands who got bored with hardcore and slowed their shit down and got nosier, like flipper and the melvins.

some bands though, started playing faster, weirder, and added some elements of harsh noise, and started the power violence. i think deep wound and sob were maybe the first bands to influence this genre.

anyways, who cares, lets discuss power violence.

my fave power violence bands are:
dropdead
charles bronson
crossed out
spazz
fuck on the beach
man is the bastard/bastard noise
the endless blockade
rorshach (some dont consider them power violence, but i do)
neanderthal
asshole parade
