WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE?

I just feel in a really "positive" mood about hardcore right now. I love this music, and the energy it produces. It's the only stuff I can listen to and want to jump around my room and get stupid. It's funny cause I had a discussion the other day about live music in general and how checking out more mainstream bands is cool, but the energy is so tired, slow and seems so disconnected. I can't imagine ever getting tired of this, as tired as the genre can get sometimes. There is always so much focus on what's been done, and sometimes I feel there isn't enough support of what's going on right now. The past has it's importance, but it's the present that's here. It's the present, right now, that kids will look back on. I felt like listing off a few bands, but not all, that I feel are doing something interesting, new and exciting. These bands, and these records move me, and inspire me, and are some of the reasons I keep coming back. If you can, please take some time to check them out...
