Is hardcore the new classical? Is the local public radio station going to switch to playing hardcore and jazz in between news stories? Enthusiastic young people continue to step up to keep this traditional music alive, and Condition One is among the most enthusiastic with the fast drums and guitar, adrenaline and testosterone-driven vocals, and audiences ready to keep the pit going strong even before the drums drop in. They have the hardcore punk rock orthodoxy down pat. The singer has even been known to wear a beanie. Also appearing are Impurity, Entice, As My Ashes, Blur The Sky, and Wither.
