I put together a list each Friday of new hardcore and hardcore adjacent releases.

My definition of adjacent is any band I've had a conversation with someone who listens to hardcore. I also include a blog that a dude puts together with a lot more metal and hard rock stuff, that I don't include.

This was May 2, 2025's list:

Car Seat Headrest - The Scholars (indie rock)

Pup - Who Will Look After the Dogs? (punk)

Also more metal and rock stuff at Dan's blog: https://gettingitout.net/this-weeks-new-releases-184/

Finally, if anyone cares about my recommendations: Pup, Propagandhi, and Pet Symmetry are all excellent. Emma Goldman, Bulls Shitt, and Wits End are pretty rad from the hardcore section.

Yes! This is why we brought this back!
