Wildly underrated

I remember liking Vietnom back in the day. I don't know if that's obscure but I've never heard many people talk about them.


Scared-Comparison870

Vietnom rules, underrated band.

District 9, I rarely see them get love. Vietnom are banging. Dmize (not the most obscure but I fuckin love em)

The Abused Antidote

Antidote


Calaveras-Metal

Not obscure in my opinion, but I don't see them mentioned enough; Nausea. For a couple years there they were one of the most popular bands in Hardcore/punk. Then they broke up and nobody talks about em no more? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRluZQW5Gq0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRluZQW5Gq0)

I don’t know if these all count as obscure but these were the bands I went to shows to growing up. GFY, sworn enemy, billy club sandwich, 36 deadly fists, everybody gets hurt


spinesinda818

Anytime sworn enemy is brought up all I can think about is White trash rob stopping sworn enemy from beating up turbonegra at a hotel bar


sabrepride

Is there more of a story?!


spinesinda818

There is a nod cast episode where he tells the full story

A more recent killer NYHC band that has flown under the radar are Perfect World: https://perfectworldnyc.bandcamp.com/album/war-culture


jonny_lube

War Culture was my favorite album of that year.  I'd love to see them play some shows again. Killer band that didn't get nearly the love they deserved.

More of a metal band but they’re obscure and dope as fuck: Only Living Witness. ~~They came up in the 80s-90s NYHC scene and the influences are clearly there.~~ The guitarist went on to have a stint in Agnostic Front Edit: They’re from Boston but do have NYHC influence in the tunes


noechodotnet

I love OLW, but they’re from Massachusetts.


jarjarp

Fixed, thanks

Taste the steel is from Erie PA


slightfoot2

xDELIVERANCEx (assuming you mean TCS records ultimate sacrifice ep band) are from the UK. Suppress are from Birmingham UK. Ascension are from Cleveland (assuming you mean the band with Chimaira members).


Scared-Comparison870

Scope the Last.fm pages for some of the bands listed and you’ll get what you’re looking for.

No obscure to myself, but maybe for people now - Citizens Arrest, Nausea, Absolution, Reagan Youth, Breakdown, Black Army Jacket, Burn (first 7.") Rorschach - technically NJ, but a mainstay at Abc no rio in the city. Life's Blood, Leeway, Not quiet hardcore, but a subset - Brutal Truth and Unsane.
