#90s hardcore

sooo, for 2001 there was a lot of bands mentioned, mainly those he played shows with (as part of both arma angelus and fall out boy) but also some he was inspired by/listening to. apart from michael jackson, the cure and slipknot, this playlist has some real forgotten & hidden gems of the scene! the playlist is here, and the list of artists will be right at the bottom. for the playlist though i added what would have been the mentioned artist’s latest release at the time (with some exceptions i noted in the doc), plus obviously any albums and songs specifically mentioned.

also mentioned was “unrestrained” magazine and “hanging like a hex” fanzine, both of which as far as i know were fairly niche but some archived versions can be found online. archives also exist of the websites superherohq.com & armaangelus.com on the wayback machine. loyola radio station was referenced too but i didn’t really do much digging there, it might be the university radio or it might not be, i’m unsure. either way i assumed there wouldn’t be much content regarding either arma angelus or fob, just felt it was worth mentioning.

for films, i’m expecting more to appear in later years, but the only one mentioned was lord of the rings (which based on the year was almost certainly “fellowship of the ring”). i’ve started a letterboxd list (this will include films from all years, compared to the playlists which had to be split for length) but it’s literally one movie so far sooo…..

anyway thanks for reading my rambles! as promised the band list is below. expect more updates here soon :p

byeee!!
