Combat 84 - 40 Minutes UK TV 1982
Combat 84's first line up was Jim on guitar, John Depford on bass, Chubby Chris on vocals, and Brownie behind the kit. Their first gig was at Walmer Castle in Peckham in South East London. The two main members of the group had pretty polar opposite views. Chubby was nigh on racism and Depford John was far from racist. There was a riot at one of their gigs on the Arena TV show in '82. The band sort of called it a day a while after. Chubby went on to follow Chelsea in the firm. There was a short comeback attempt just after 2000 and they released a small bit of material and played some gigs. This lineup was without Chubby, who now lives in Thailand and owns a British pub there called 'The Dog's Bollocks'. A litle vague but at least it's about the right band not condemned 84!!!

Cro Mags - NYC 22.11.86
Before the Cro-Mags, the idea of combining metal and hardcore together was unheard of. But with the release of their classic debut, The Age Of Quarrel, hardcore-metal was born, and in its wake came a legion of similarly styled offspring (Biohazard, Vision Of Disorder, etc.). Although the group endured an endless amount of lineup shifts (which is probably the main reason they never became as well known as they should have), the Cro-Mags continued to record and tour in one form or another. Through it all, the New York City-based group's leader has been bassist Harley Flanagan who, in 1977 at the ripe old age of ten (!), started his first punk band during a European trip. Upon returning to NYC, Flanagan supplied drums for The Stimulators, a band that performed quite a bit locally and in Washington, D.C., alongside Bad Brains. The early '80s saw the initial Cro-Mags lineups formed with a variety of members playing alongside the only constant: Flanagan. By the middle of the decade, the best-known Cro-Mags lineup was in place -- Flanagan on bass, former Bad Brains roadie John Joseph on vocals, Parris Mayhew on guitar, and Mackie Jayson on drums -- and soon built a rabid following via shows at CBGB's. The quartet recorded a 13-track demo that made the rounds throughout the underground -- eventually officially released in 2000, as Before the Quarrel -- and landing the Cro-Mags a record deal with Profile's Rock Hotel label (with second guitarist Doug Holland joining, as well). Similar to how Bad Brains aligned themselves with Rastafarianism, it was around this time that members of the band became closely associated with the Hare Krishna faith. With a loud buzz forming, the Cro-Mags issued their aforementioned debut, The Age Of Quarrel, in 1986. With such bands as Slayer and Metallica becoming increasingly popular, it seemed like the musical tides were changing in favor of groups like the Cro-Mags, as nationwide tours with such groups as Motörhead and Megadeth expanded their audience. But it wasn't meant to be, as both Joseph and jayson exited the group after its supporting tour (the latter of which would later turn up in the Bad Brains and the Fun Lovin' Criminals). Instead of following up their debut right away, it wasn't until 1989 that Best Wishes was released, which saw Flanagan double as lead vocalist. With increasing troubles with their label, mayhew left the group, but by the early '90s, the Cro-Mags were up and running once more, as Flanagan and Joseph resuscitated the band with a pair of albums for the Century Media label -- 1992's Alpha Omega and 1993's Near Death Experience. However, after the release of a double-live album, Hard Times In An Age Of Quarrel (Disc 1), the Cro-Mags split up. Since then, various versions of the Cro-Mags have recorded and toured (including a brief reunion of Flanagan and mayhew which resulted in 2000s Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge). Flanagan eventually returned with a new band, Harley's War (which included ex-Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George); who issued their debut in 2003, titled Cro-Mag. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

Crumbsuckers - L'Amours Brooklyn 22.8.86
Like New York City contemporaries such as Agnostic Front and the Cro-Mags, the Crumbsuckers were one of the original purveyors of 1980s crossover: the bridging of metal and hardcore that temporarily united the two divergent tribes of metalheads and punks into one bloody unified mosh pit. Getting their start in 1983, the band were soon an integral part of New York's Lower East Side-based hardcore scene, cutting their teeth at the legendary dive A7 before moving on to CBGB's famed Sunday matinees, as they and the movement gained strength. Come 1986, the Crumbsuckers consisted of vocalist Chris Notaro (ex-Krackdown), guitarists Dave Wynn and Chuck Lenihan, bassist Gary Meskil, and drummer Dan Richardson, and delivered their Life of Dreams debut into a peaking crossover craze. A strong if rather conventional example of the genre, Life of Dreams featured a wall of razor-sharp thrash guitars, manic drum work, and punk-grown social and political criticism, culminating in the standout "Super Tuesday," which criticizes the 1984 presidential election. Unfortunately, the Crumbsuckers would soon fall afoul of their fans (as did Agnostic Front around the same time) by delving too deeply in heavy metal with their 1988 sophomore release Beast on My Back (aka "B.O.M.B."), featuring shred-happy new guitarist Robert Koebler. This effort, with its longer songs and blatant metallic overkill, wound up alienating most of their longtime hardcore followers and the band was frankly dead on arrival by the time they hit the road with yet another new guitarist in former Carnivore Marc Piovanetti. In the end, even more than their hit-and-miss albums, the Crumbsuckers' lasting legacy may well have been the numerous bands which later sprung up from their ruin. Meskil and Richardson went on to found post-hardcore metallers Pro-Pain, and the latter eventually also did time with Life of Agony and Stereomud, while LENIHAN landed with S&M crew the Genitorturers a few years later. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

D.R.I. - Schenectady Legion N.C. 19.11.86
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (also known as D.R.I.) are a United States crossover thrash band that formed in Houston, Texas, in 1982. The band currently comprises founding members, vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy, as well as drummer Rob Rampy and bassist Harald Oimoen. D.R.I. never gained a mainstream audience, but the integration of their hardcore punk roots with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries—most notably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion Of Conformity, and S.O.D.—alongside whom they are considered pioneers of what would later be called "crossover thrash." This subgenre was also coined from their 1987 album Crossover. To date, D.R.I. have released seven original studio albums, of which the last was released in 1995. Since then, the band has continued touring and intermittently going on hiatus. In 2004, D.R.I. released a web-only demo track "Against Me", their first recording in a decade. For years, there has been talk of an eighth D.R.I. album, which has yet to materialize.

Corrosion of Conformity - CBGBs 5.87
One of the first punk-metal fusion bands, Corrosion Of Conformity (Corrosion Of Conformity for short) were formed in North Carolina by guitarist Weatherman during the early '80s. In their early years, Corrosion Of Conformity became known for their aggressive sound, intelligent political lyrics, and willingness to break away from both hardcore and metal conventions. In the '90s, their shift to a more stripped-down, deliberate sound -- sort of Black Sabbath filtered through the Deep South -- brought them enough in line with the alternative metal Zeitgeist to bring them a measure of mainstream popularity.
Conflict - Newcastle Riverside 15.11.01
In 1983 Steve Ignorant, at the time a member of the band Crass, guested on the band's pro-animal rights single "To A Nation of Animal Lovers." After the dissolution of Crass, Ignorant later became second vocalist for Conflict on a semi-permanent basis. This followed a 1986 gig in Brixton, London wherin he had joined the band on stage for a few numbers.
The band have always been outspoken regarding issues such as anarchism, animal rights, the anti-war movement and in their support for the organisation Class War, and a number of their gigs during the 1980s were followed by riots and disturbances. The band's 'Mortarhate' logo, originally designed by 'Nihilistic Nobody' is commonly mistaken as a reference to the initials CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament), but as quoted directly by paco the drummer for conflict is in actual fact a nihlist symbol. it incorporates two 'A's for anarchy and autonomy, and an 'N' for nihilism. The logo originally appeared around 1980 in Thanatos, a small circulation pamphlet produced by Toxic Graffity (sic) fanzine editor Mike Diboll.
The band continues to exist today, although their record releases and live performances are sporadic.

Code of Honor - S.F. Cable TV 1983
Along with other early melodic punk bands JFA, Minor Threat and The Big Boys, San Francisco's Code of Honor is considered to be one of the founders of a movement dubbed skate punk. Code of Honor played cynical and political hardcore punk with frantic energy. In the summer of 1979, Code of Honor guitarist Michael D. Fox and Steve Tupper founded Subterranean Records as a vehicle to document the rabidly growing San Francisco punk scene. The label went on to release classic underground recordings by proto-grunge band Flipper as well as the Dead Kennedys, Chrome, Helios Creed and many others.
Lead singer Johnithin Christ passed away on March 5, 2009 due to complications of pneumonia. He had successfully survived a brain tumor but the chemotherapy and steroids depleted his immune system.

Confuse - Live at State 9th
Confuse was a Japanese hardcore punk band that started in Kyushu, Japan. They released a few records (Indignation tape, Nuclear Addicts flexi, Jisatsu Omnibus 8'' comp, Contempt For The Authority And Take Off The Lie, Atrocious madness, Stupid Life in that order) throughout the time they were around. They started off with a really raw noisey type of sound, and then evolved into a bouncier, more melodic sound. People tend to favor their old sound over the new one. Confuse are currently the most bootlegged Japanese band there is, and there have been multiple reissues and bootlegs of their material. Confuse also have a video called Live At State 9th, where they played live at State 9th University in Japan. Confuse are no longer around, but were around for most of the early 80's, all the way up to 1989 where they released Stupid Life, which was the poppiest, bounciest album they've released. After this they broke up. Confuse were apparently associated with bands like GAI and possibly Gauze and G.A.S.. Lyrics to their songs can be found if you look hard enough. The lyrics to the songs are really just extremely garbled English [i.e.: "In your room, loves spread, in the fiction days you lie! In your room, loves spread, in the every night, you're a fucker!" (lyrics to "Fuckin' Lovers" off the Contempt 7")]. All in all, Confuse were a great band with lots of energy that seem to go often unnoticed even with being the biggest bootlegged Japanese band there is.
After Confuse broke up, some band members continued to play in bands: the lead singer is, allegedly, in a folk band now. The last Confuse bassist (Stupid Life 12") was in Eevee. Passy (the bass player on "Nuclear Addicts") is in a band called High Societys. Moreover, there's rumours of ex-members of Confuse still showing up at Kyushu-area gigs decked out in the finest NYHC jogging suits & $200-dollar high-top basketball shoes.

Civil Dissident - Helter Skelter Club, St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia 15.6.84
In the early 80's, Civil Dissident started in Melbourne, on the East Coast of Australia. Civil Dissident and their friends Mad Flowers and Society's Victim started jamming around 1982, and after line-up changes between the three bands (Tracey and Dave leaving Mad Flowers for Civil Dissident and Grant and Andrew leaving Civil Dissident for Mad Flowers), the Civil Dissident line-up was finalised with: Tracey on bass, Wayne on guitar, Dave on drums and Mat on vocals. This line-up would last until the end of Civil Dissident at their last show on the 20th of April, 1985.
Their influences, from Discharge to Terveet Kädet, from Depression to Raw Power, from Minor Threat to The Stalin and so forth, came through on all their releases. While the above bands were an influence, Civil Dissident still retained a destinct Australian flavour, from their first demo in 1984, up to their tracks on Pusmort's Cleanse the Bacteria compilation and beyond. After a self-financed record and two tapes (Stone the Flamin' Crows was put out by the drummer), plus a string of cuts on international compilations, Civil Dissident called it a day. Every song was to the point, energetic, hardcore punk rock with a straightforward personal/political approach. Civil Dissident were a prime example of how Australian bands could very much hold their own in the world of Hardcore.

Citizens Arrest - Knitting Factory, Brooklyn NYC 17.12.10
myspace;

We played tons of shows, kicked ass, recorded a demo, 7" ep and a full length album. Unfortunately right before the release of this album the band split up for good due to musical differences but the legend of CXA remains. Members of Citizens Arrest went on to other bands like Taste of Fear, , One Sided War, Funebrarum, Forced Expression, Hell No, Moses etc.... KEEP HARDCORE PUNK ALIVE!

Circle Jerks - Rock Palace US TV 1985
The band broke up and reformed three times, sometimes with different bassists and/or drummers. They disbanded for the first time after the release of their fifth album, 1987's VI, as Hetson decided to continue touring and releasing albums with Bad Religion. However, they reunited around 1994 and recorded a reunion album, Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities, in the following year, then a tour followed. After that, the Circle Jerks once again parted ways as Hetson was still involved in Bad Religion, but reunited again around 2001. As of 2010, they are on hiatus again.
To date, the Circle Jerks have released six studio albums, one compilation, live album and live DVD. Their last studio album, Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities, was released in 1995 and was the band's only reunion album to date.
Many recent punk rock groups cite the Circle Jerks as an influence, including Anti-Flag, Dropkick Murphys, The Offspring and Pennywise.

Crass - There is No Authority But Yourself
Crass were an English anarcho-punk band, formed in 1977 and based around Dial House, an open house community near Epping, Essex, England.
In contrast to The Sex Pistols 'anarchy', Crass' attitude was more directly influenced by libertarian socialist philosophy and anarchism's nineteenth century roots. In the process they promoted anarchism as a legitimate political ideology, way of living, and as a resistance movement, popularizing the seminal peace punk movement and touching on such overtly political issues as anti-consumerism, direct action, feminism, pacifism, anti-corporatism, environmentalism, anti-globalization, anti-racism, religious power, and squatting.

Cause For Alarm - Savaria 1996
Cause for Alarm was a New York hardcore punk band from from the 1980's.
Originally a New Jersey band called Hinkley Fan Club, in early 1983 they moved to New York City and changed their name to Cause for Alarm. Throughout its various incarnations, CFA has always centered around singer Keith Burkhardt. The original lineup included Rob Kabula and Alex Kinon, both who would later play in Agnostic Front. In 1983, CFA recorded and self-released an excellent 7" along the lines of fellow NY bands Antidote or the Mob. Tensions regarding Burkhardt's increasing interest in Krishna consciousness lead to the band's original breakup, although they managed to hold it together long enough to record a song for the 1984 P.E.A.C.E. double LP compilation.

Leftöver Crack - 22 Aug 2011 Camden Underworld
wikipedia;
Leftöver Crack is an American punk rock band formed in 1998, following the breakup of Choking Victim. The band is currently signed to Fat Wreck Chords for CD releases, and Alternative Tentacles for vinyl releases. The band consists of Scott Sturgeon (vocals), Brad Logan (guitar), Alec Baillie (bass guitar), Ezra Kire (guitar and vocals), and Ara Babajian (drums).
Leftöver Crack spans several different music genres including hardcore punk, ska, and crust punk. They write mostly political lyrics of a radical leftist nature, opposing religion, capitalism, and authority. Members of Leftöver Crack reside in the C-Squat on 155 Avenue C in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. Natives of New York City, band members have a well-documented history of back-and-forth conflict with the NYPD which precedes the band's formation. The name "Leftöver Crack" is explained by Stza as being "an oxymoron", based on the idea that crack cocaine addicts are known for vigorous use, and are unlikely to have any "leftover" crack.
