Emotive Hardcore: A Collection

“White knuckled, bleeding, I will tear the ground up from this Earth. I will bend these tracks, and I will change the times. Things won’t end like this, this isn’t the end of the line. I’m not giving up just yet.”

lyrics: this dying is so hard. i think I've lent myself into shame, everything falls apart, fingers cross my heart, and the days keep breaking on and on. these pretty things are not always beautiful. hello mourning sun, i've cut my wrists and from the slice i've given you a piece of my life and you shine brighter than my inside skin ever could dream. brown leaves are grey like today, like yesterday, what about tomorrow, sorrow.

Love Lost But Not Forgotten- Push Past

"Strictly Ballroom was founded in late 1994 by a bunch of former KXLU DJs — guitarist/singer Chris Gunst, second guitarist Paul Larson, bassist Jimmy Tamborello, drummer Ian MacKinnon, and keyboardist/percussionist Jimmy Hay. The band’s sound was described as “Enocore” by the press and fans at the time, due to their Brian Eno-like soundscaping merged with the sounds of hardcore. Signed to the Waxploitation label, the quintet issued the album Hide Here Forever in 1998, and became a college radio favorite, appearing on the CMJ charts."
