I think I'd have to honestly say that Black Flag, Misfits, Minor Threat (Fugazi) , and Beastie Boys were the first 3-4 1980's Hardcore bands that I really got into @ the tender [aggressive] age of like 15-16. Always having a few "cool" older cousins, Hardcore Punk was the first type of music that I really discovered on my own! While they're all pretty great in the own ways, Black Flag still remains one of my favoutite bands, all these years later... particularly Rollins era Black Flag , of course.

And suddenly there's this possibility to do it like it was intended. We wanna do it over, do it right. For the people who've kept the music alive through the years, but also for our own sakes. We feel that you deserve it and we hope the feeling is mutual!" - Refused While taking part in a full-fledge...

So, them muthafu***** ova at Odd Future Records done signed a fu***** group of crackas and ni**** in a Hardcore Punk band called Trash Talk . I mean, it makes sense since Odd Future fans is them white ni**** anyway. Trash Talk is supposed to be releasing they album called "119" or some sh** thru they Trash Talk Collective label in the fall... Don't ask me what the f*** that means, cuz I don't fu***** kno. I asked Tyler 's trick-ass what he thought about that sh** and I really didn't give a f*** so, I'm not gone put that sh** on here. Them Trash Talk ni**** is currently over in Europe with them "musty muthaf******." If you give a f*** about they sh**t, then listen to them ni**** EP on iTunes called Awake or watch the fuckin' [music] video, ni***. - Lionel "L-Boy" Boyce
