I would like to suggest the following statement "Many but not all bands have a christian association." is changed to "Some bands are openly influenced by their religious convictions." I find the former to be highly misleading as many hardcore bands do not display any overt religious affiliation of any kind. It also excludes those bands that may be openly Muslim, Jewish, Hare Krishna etc. SophieG 5 July 2005 12:03 (UTC)

Title could be misleading...[edit]

The title could be misleading as there is some disagreement over what the term Australian Hardcore actually constitutes. For example I came here looking for information on Australian Hardcore or what I thought and what most people think Australian Hardcore is in the Australian Rave Scene, which certainly is not punk rock etc. What I was looking for was information on music in the style of UK Hardcore except produced by Australian artists such as DJ Weaver, Ben Haze and so on...

PROD removed[edit]

Anon User:121.217.9.33 prodded the article and also vandalised the hardcore punk[1] article, I have reinstated the Winston McCall IV ref and tidied the article. Paul foord (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I removed no links I simply suggested it for deletion at the discretion of the community not one person who assumes ownership of the poorly formatted, un-cited article121.217.9.33 (talk) 16:38, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dont Delete[edit]

This page has been edited to show the rest of the world how things are within the Alternative music scene in Australia as a whole. Hardcore fans will always glorify the music taste and as Hardcore fans only occupy a small ammount of the population, what they think should be deleted does not fit in with the overall majority in defining Australian Hardcore. This page should not be deleted as, while some things may have negative connotations or feelings, it is all true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.105.204.141 (talk) 10:08, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've got no idea why an established editor nominated this article for speedy deletion, however I removed the notice. The article will need to be taken to WP:AFD if deletion is the desired outcome. -- Longhair\talk 10:11, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Why is Antagonist A.D. listed as an Australian band? They are a New Zealand band and have made no comments about any plans to move to Australia. Can someone clarify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.246.243 (talk) 08:06, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page really needs a tidy up...[edit]

We need to get some decent reliable sources on here, and include information that be properly referenced. The whole article really needs to be rewritten, with less emphasis on what is popular now, and more of a general history of the scene. I think it is great that someone has started this article and I know that the people in the scene are a passionate lot so surely people will take it on themselves to bring it up to Wikipedia's (relatively low) standards...at the moment it looks like a Myspace link for the new hardcore kids on the block... Also as someone mentioned earlier, there is a very very big following of the techno/rave/happy hardcore scene in Australia, and just as many people think of this when the term hardcore is used as would think of hardcore punk...so this should be addressed... It would be good if something could be done to direct people to this other hardcore, a redirect link at the top of the article or something, and it would be fricking excellent if we could try to use the original wiki hardcore punk article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_punk) as a template for this one, try and get it looking like a real encyclopedia or something... Just my thoughts...I'm scared now that ten thousand of these emo kids in their heavy make up will come scratch my eyes out now...

Oh yeah, and I apologise for removing the bands from the first paragraph, I just think a new section ought to be created with lists of bands, and as for Embodiment 12:14, great band, but they don't fit in as newcomers, and aren't really amongst the true pioneers of the scene so I will dare to say that perhaps they shouldn't be listed as the old boys... Hope i'm not treading on too many toes here...i'm happy to help though, just let me know...--79.97.105.2 (talk) 23:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

notable bands vs established bands vs current bands vs johnny come lately etc...[edit]

There is a seperate wiki article with a very dodgy little lilst of "australian hardcore punk bands"...perhaps this klist should be linked in the article and updated...

Adding/deleting bands[edit]

Preferably add bands where there is a wikipedia article, don't delete bands from the list without explaining why - especially if there is already an article (blue link). -- Paul foord 14:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC) Stop bloody deleting Powerslam, They've been around since 2004 and all have beeen very influental in Byron Bay Hardcore History. They are playing their last show with Powerslam soon.Charliebyronbay 06:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perdition are from Adelaide, not Melbourne. Order of Decay, Grunter, Filthy Scumbags & Festered Vestoons are among other Adelaide '80s bands.

Toys Went Berserk were based in Sydney, not Melbourne, & more like post-punk than hardcore.

Adelaide labal Dominator Records and Tapes released some hardcore.

Background checks[edit]

I think people need to actually do some checks on the bands for inclusion here. For example, the article claims S.I.C. either never recorded OR went straight to CD. This is particularly funny as I own their debut LP from 1988, and they recorded two cassettes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarsOz (talkcontribs) 11:07, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
