"NEW JERZEY HARDCORE" ~"NJHC"~ Refers to hardcore punk and metalcore music created in New Jersey and to the subculture associated with that music.Evolution to the NJHC way 1980-1986 - The first wave 1986-1991 - The second wave 1992-1998 - The third waveEvolution to NJHC New Jersey had many early punk bands, circa 1977-'80, including The Misfits, Shrapnel, and The Pleasure Hounds. Many of these fledgeling early punk bands would later alter their sounds in the early 80's when hardcore punk originators like Black Flag, Bad Brains, and Minor Threat toured and gained national exposure. 1980-1986 - The first wave New Jersey had developed several regional, overlapping hardcore punk scenes by 1981-'82. Proximity to New York City and Philadelphia has long tended to draw punk and hardcore bands away from New Jersey, with historic examples including Bergen County bands such as The Misfits defecting in one direction, and South Jersey bands such as Sadistic Exploits defecting in the other. Adrenalin OD was one of the more important early hardcore punk bands to identify primarily with New Jersey, however there were and continue to be multitudes of others, many of whom are nationally popular, and some who have gone on to international success.It was during this period that several New Jersey-based record labels specializing in hardcore punk were formed and began releasing albums. While there were many, two of the most influential were Mutha Records from West Long Branch, and Buy Our Records in Bergen County. 1986-1991 - The second wave During the late 1980s, hardcore bands started to experiment with their sounds, taking their cues from other national scenes. Some would imitate the crossover thrash/skate punk of Suicidal Tendencies, while others would incorporate more melodic sounds similar to the early emo scene developing in Washington DC. Still others would draw influence from the nearby New York hardcore scene, including the youth crew movement, or bands Madball and Sick of it All.1992-1998 - The third wave During the early 1990's, regional scenes within NJ started to develop as the emphasis moved away from NYC and more towards local bands and venues. The NJHC seperated into 3 distinct scenes with it's own bands, idealogy and sound. The Northern NJHC scene was centered around Studio One and The Pipeline in Newark, NJ. The Central NJ scene centered around Middlesex County College, and The Down Under in New Brunswick. The South Jersey scene "In my opinion one of the hardest scenes" centered around the Fastlanes and The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ.Differences in Musical Styles Each regional scene developed a distinct sound and idealogy. In the central NJ scene, the musical style was more melodic. The "Middlesex Scene" as it became known, involved youth crew and early style bands. In the southern NJ scene the musicial style was based on a much harder version of crossover punk and hardcore with a hard metallic edge. In the north NJ scene, the musicial style was influenced primarily on NYHC with an emphasis on metallic riffing and double bass drum playing. The north NJ scene was also influenced by hip/hop. Some bands, such as Dog Eat Dog and The Human Offense included rapping and hip/hop style beats in their music as early as 1990. Although, every scene in NJ had links to NYHC, due to the close proximity as a whole, the northern NJ was also linked to the NYHC through bands that had members in both states, such as Bulldoze and 25 ta Life. Both the north and south NJHC scenes also were influenced by the growing death metal movement and by local death metal bands like Ripping Corpse and Human Remains. The "Middlesex Scene" was the most resistant to the influence of metal. As national acts came through NJ and played at various venues in the state, more and more local bands were added to the bills which caused the NJHC to explode.National and International Recognition As these scenes started to grow and gain popularity, so did the bands that emerged from these scenes. Alternatively, some second generation NJHC bands like Dog Eat Dog, signed to larger national labels and became internationally recognized. In 1995, they were voted Breakthrough Artists of the Year at the MTV Europe Music Awards. This drew international attention to the NJHC scene. By 1996, bands like 25 ta Life, Vision, and Fury of Five were pushing NJHC further into the limelight through extensive touring, tape trading and their outspokenness of the NJHC scene. Smaller bands, such as E-town Concrete, Floorpunch, For The Love Of, Second to None, Mouthpiece, Ensign, One4One and NJ Bloodline, amongst countless others started to gain recognition and by 1997, were releasing material with American, European and Japanese labels, drawing even more attention to the NJHC scene. However, the success and reputation of the NJHC scene wasn't all based on the music.A Change In Hardcore Dancing In the early 1990's, as the scenes started to grow, a fresh crop of young people converged into these each scene. All ages shows at easily accessible VFW halls became an easy way to put on a hardcore shows, without dealing with the venues, the club owners, and the laws related to alcohol and minors in clubs. The lack of security lead to shows becoming more carefree. and thus more violent. Differences in dance styles quickly started to emerge. Old school moshing of the 80's Punk era quickly gave way to newer styles of Hardcore Dancing which was based less on the chaos of moshpits and more .." orientated techniques. In the central NJ scene, Youth Crew dancing was the norm (Finger pointing, stage diving, crowding the stage and sing alongs). In southern and northern NJ, many dance techniques were refined, like the "creepy crawly" (picking up change), "wall bashing", and the "two step". However, in the north Jersey scene, the dancing became harder and harder due to the influx of NYHC bands and fans. NYHC already had a violent reputation when it came to hardcore dancing, and through venues like Studio One, harder-edged dancing was imported by NYHC fans and bands.A new hybrid form of hardcore Dancing mixed with martial arts moves, otherwise known as "kickboxing" (later known as "ninja fighting") became the most violent and thus popular addition to the northern NJ scene. Fred, from 25 ta Life, is often credited with bringing the "kickboxing" form of HC dancing to the north Jersey scene via The Pipeline, Newark, NJ. Due to the ferocity of this new dance, the hardest dancers from the north and south NJ scenes embraced this new form of dancing. The addition of kickboxing moves also started to change the way many northern and southern NJHC bands wrote their music. Breakdowns became much heavier and slower to accommodate this new technique. As northern and southern NJHC bands started to playing other parts of NJ, NYC and PA, they brought the new "kickboxing" technique with them. Although clashes erupted over this new dance technique, especially in central NJ, over time, "kickboxing" became a staple of NJHC dancing with bands immortalizing the technique through video, their music and merchandise such as the "Tiger Style kickboxer" tee shirt design by NJ Bloodline. The "kickboxing/ninja fighting" technique has since spread across the globe and is considered a staple dance technique in most hardcore scenes."See blog for more dancing styles""Some of the bands associated with the NJHC scene"Fury Of Five- -25 ta Life (also considered NYHC) -Bulldoze (also considered NYHC) -NJ Bloodline -Second to None -E-town Concrete -Gutwrench -Reason Enough -one4one -The Human Offense -Backlash -Fatnuts -Worldwide -Train of Thought -Vision -Ensign -Curbjaw -Floorpunch -Exit Hole -Mouthpiece -Resurrection -For the Love of -Strength 691 -Hundredfold -Position of Power - "Stick from Fury" -Locked up in Life -Clubberlang -Shattered"CHECK "FRIENDS LIST" OVER 3500 HARDCORE BANDS"
