Swedish Hardcore

Forever Young


Lesra - Never Again

Last night I experienced some of the sounds of the new Umeå Hardcore. The city was famous in the 1980s for its Straight Edge Hardcore music scene and it seems a new generation is stepping up to the plate and expanding on the genre. Last night I saw my friend Eric and his band, Forever Young, which was great. the band is based in Gothenburg now but they are from Umeå and seem to be very influenced by the sound and attitude of the old hardcore scene in the city. The energy of the group was really strong and they actually grooved, with a serious and brilliant sense of rhythm and rhyme. The headliners for the night were Umeå band Lesra, and they were intense.
