Earlier this year, our U. This, of course, resulted in us having to disqualify plenty of talented acts, as well as a lot of teeth gnashing among Internet historians and scene veterans.

I can spend time writing a lengthy intro for this piece, but I'd rather keep it moving and let the blurbs below do the heavy lifting. I've been putting together this list since , and it's usually the most popular feature on the site every year. The only reason for that is people are curious about newer bands, which as a music geek, makes me very happy. Combining the rhythmic pulse of Quicksand with the weirder and dissonant side of Snapcase, Excide sound like in the best way possible. The group is based out of both the North and South sides of the Carolinas, and the handful of tracks they released in easily landed them on this list today. Vermont skate crew Gone Wrong cite influences like Chain of Strength, Infest, and Conflict, so at the very least, you know they have impeccable taste in music. The band's All Your Rage demo is a ripping listening experience that also manages to be catchy at the same time. When we posted a piece on the young group, it blew up within a few hours , so we know these guys are onto something. Last Gasp brings to mind the speed-driven hardcore of Right Brigade and Carry On, and vocalist Ryan Hardwick's snotty vocal style is the perfect match for the music's driving velocity.
