It was the late 90's and the youth was sickened by the sound of slighty downtuned guitars and thought it was time to bring hardcore back to its roots... Thank god for that because it birthed one of the greatest eras in the history of hardcore. THE '97 YOUTH CREW REVIVAL ERA. We're joined by Bob Wilson (FYA Fest, Many bands) and Matt K. (Magnitude, Face The Pain) to create a tier list from bands from the era. From bands that created genre defining records to bands lost to the sands of time... This episode has got it all. Thanks for listening!RULES FOR THE TIER LIST - we are ONLY ranking these off the records released by these bands from 1995-2000. Opening Track: Flip The Switch - Poision Free The full Flip The Switch LP will be out this Friday on Rebirth Records!
