Alright, I think I've figured out how to make a sucsessful Hardcore band. For any of you struggling to make it big.
Step One - Band name.. Its gotta be something aggressive, and strong sounding. Like, Bulldozer(Not sure if thats a band name or not, just an idea.) or somthing along those lines.
Step Two - Band mates.. Atleast one of you needs to go to jail for assault or a crime like that.
Step Three - Falls into the band mates section aswell.. A couple of you need to become obese, I suggest the Bassist and Vocalist.
Step Four - You need a kicker song to open with..Steal all the riffs from Madball - Set it off and change them a bit. Youll be fine.
Step Five - Location.. Move to Boston or New York, so you arent called pouser faggots. Try to become affiliated with one of those tough guy hardcore gangs.
Step Six - Success. Watch the hundreds of dollars a month roll in.
you are making it way too complicated
Hardcore can be achieved with 3 simple steps
step 1. find 3-4 other posers that shop at hot topic and are complete tools
step 2. learn to play instruments, it won't be difficult considering the music you will be playing is just detuned guitars doing the same riffs every song and breakdowns. You could learn to play hardcore guitar and bass in a week, the drums would take about a day.
step 3. shitty lyrics, remember to make them as stupid as possible while still keeping your poser punk image prevalent. There are 3 major categories to choose from, the Bro's (just think M/M stickers and nautical stars, the "punkers" (these kids have never heard anything but the misfits and suicidal tendencies, or the deathcore (trying to be metal but can't really play your instruments so fail epicly)
