The Sound of LA Hardcore

“The Sound of LA Hardcore” brings together the raw energy, aggressive attitude, and street-level grit that defines Los Angeles’ hardcore scene. This playlist is packed with fast, unrelenting cuts from both new and established bands across the area. Tracks like SECTION H8’s “Nightmare” and Human Garbage’s “Dead & Gone” hit with blunt force, while others like Pull Your Card’s “Beg for Mercy” and Cinderblock CA’s “Look At It Closely” show off the heavy breakdowns and no-nonsense delivery the region is known for.

It’s a wide lens snapshot of LA’s hardcore spectrum—featuring everything from the crossover edge of Barrio Slam’s “Ice Pick” to politically-charged burners like Neanderthal Fight Core’s “Nazi Fucking Cowards.” Whether it’s the low-end stomp of Risk’s “New Breed,” the chaotic barrage of Exile’s “Condemned to Exile,” or the streetwise punch of Jack-Knife’s “Just Kickin’ It,” this playlist captures the underground heartbeat of a scene that never backs down.
