by 1980 , the writing was on the wall : punk rock might have been making headlines , but it wasn ' t moving units . the industry responded with the skinny tie bands , retroactively labeled new wave , a safer , more accessible take on the back - to - basics energy of punk . the street reacted by buzzing its collective head , throwing out the fashion designers and putting the musicians in the driver ' s seat . the result was a rawer , tougher , more stripped down form of punk known as hardcore . walter schreifels of gorilla biscuits once called it " american folk music . " here are the 20 best albums of the genre . - nicholas pell

with their acclaimed 2000 release relationship of command , texan golden boys at the drive in did the impossible - - they created a crossover hardcore album nearly anyone could enjoy . with trippy , complex guitar work and powerful vocals courtesy of frontman cedric bixler - zavala , relationship of command was the north star for post - hardcore bands that followed . led by single " one armed scissor , " which received immense mtv and radio play at the time , the album would go on to become one of the year ' s most beloved , in any genre . - zach bourque

opening with a flute , the chemistry of common life features volatile rockers fucked up pushing punk rock to the limit . antagonistic lyrics ( " it ' s hard enough being born in the first place / who would ever want to be born again ? " ) are combined with nearly 70 ( ! ) instrumental tracks per song , making for one of the most ambitious hardcore records in memory . the toronto natives work even won the 2009 polaris music prize - - the canadian equivalent of the album of the year . - daniel kohn

guy picciotto fronting rites of spring while ian mackaye manned the production at inner ear studios was kind of like a bizzaro world version of bowie and eno in berlin - - except it was d . c . and there were fewer drugs and the whole world wasn ' t watching . picciotto has repeatedly put the kibosh on the notion that this record was the origin of emo ( or that the genre even ever existed ) , but that ' s beside the point . the record ' s influence is immeasurable , and it endures as a beautiful , screeching time capsule : something real , before everything fugazi . - patrick james

the first 20 seconds of the bronx ' s 2003 self - titled debut album will make you want to run through a brick wall . but in a good way . released in a landscape of obnoxious metalcore , the bronx stood out with their simple song structures and high energy , conventional hardcore sound that remains powerful 10 years later . the angeleno natives have since made a name for themselves with notoriously nuts live shows and mariachi music , but their debut release remains their tour de force . - zach bourque

in the mid - ' 90s , earth crisis were one of the most divisive bands in the land . true straight edge believers adored them , but the more politically correct underground were repulsed by the violence and homophobia associated with the band ' s " hardline " fan base , an ultra - militant offshoot of the straight edge movement . ( folks were afraid said fan base was going to come to a gig and beat people up for smoking cigarettes . ) all politics aside , if there ' s a riff heavier than the one on the title track , we haven ' t heard it yet . the opening " thud - thud " will have the hairs on the back of your neck standing up even before the electrifying " born addicted ! / beaten and neglected ! " chorus begins . - nicholas pell

for a hot minute in the mid - 1990s , bro - cal ( aka huntington beach ) was home to some of hardcore ' s most promising acts . eleven thirty - four didn ' t achieve the notoriety of tsol , straight faced , or ignite , but they crafted bro - cal ' s brightest gem - - reality filter - - with its stirring octave notes , dynamic riffs , countless drum fills , and remarkably light production . it ' s a testament to the potency of matt enright ' s lucid yell that a line like " opened up and vulnerable , fragile as can be " had appeal with those leg - tatted dudes in the pit . - patrick james

if hardcore has a poet laureate , it ' s sheer terror frontman paul bearer , famous for the line , " i can ' t stand living / i can ' t stand you / and i just can ' t hate enough . " a screed against fellow new yorkers warzone from just can ' t hate enough ' s title track , it ' s a chorus that aptly summarizes hardcore ' s attitude . but " here to stay " attacks the entire scene as soft , pretentious and middle class , while " twisting and turning " showcases riffs as intricate and interesting as anything that swiss metal innovators celtic frost were doing at the time . sheer terror are , as a later album title indicates , " ugly and proud . " - nicholas pell

back in the ' 80s , venice wasn ' t a quirky beach community . it was a dangerous place with its own hardcore scene . suicidal tendencies were the scene ' s flagship band , leading fellow travelers excel , beowülf and no mercy to the greener pastures of crossover . indeed , suicidal tendencies has been credited by luminaries such as anthrax ' s scott ian with inventing the crossover sound on their self - titled debut , which features the infectiously catchy rant rock classic " institutionalized . " and the band ' s influence lives on , having later provided a template for the cholo imagery of west side powerviolence bands like despise you and final draft . - nicholas pell

the buzzcocks didn ' t influence hardcore much , but they meant a whole lot to gorilla biscuits frontman civ and guitarist walter schreifels . the former scored minor hits during the ' 90s alt rock feeding frenzy , and the latter went on to form post - hardcore heavyweights quicksand and perennial indie rock favorites rival schools . on start today , gorilla biscuits display an appreciation of first - wave pop punk in the framework of second - wave hardcore . the work features gang vocals , melody and more hooks than a tackle box . - nicholas pell

i against i was made following bad brains ' first break - up and reunion , and served to influence groups as far afield as the beastie boys and sublime , the latter of whom covered bad brains biggest hit " house of suffering " in their live shows . i against i strays from their previous self - titled tape with a more experimental direction , but it expands their sound the right way . to top it off their singer h . r recorded the vocal track on the album ' s song " sacred love " from jail . i against i showed the band hitting a pinnacle , which they ( and others ) have long since attempted to match . - juan gutierrez

the only studio album by the west l . a . outfit the germs , its title is an acronym for germs incognito , a name they sometimes used because local clubs wanted no part of their violent shows . produced by joan jett , the collection features aggressive riffs and bratty vocals , and has become the unofficial blueprint for west coast hardcore bands . internal strife and singer darby crash ' s suicide ultimately caused the group ' s demise , less than two years after ( gi ) ' s release . - daniel kohn

the appeal of hardcore is that it fits blasts of frantic chaos into some fairly conservative song structures ; unlike metal there ' s no proggy fuss . and with the additional rigidity of straight edge , you magnify the tension even more . at times on break down the walls , the drums threaten to gallop away in all directions , and singer ray cappo seems perpetually on the brink of an aneurysm . but the songs always reconcile - - like when the guy who just elbowed you in the pit lifts you up off the ground - - which is why youth of today left such an indelible mark on new york hardcore . - patrick james

the age of quarrel is the last great album of hardcore ' s first wave and the opening salvo of its second . there is no band that changed hardcore ' s direction more than the new york - based , hare krishna - influenced ' mags . led by kinetic frontman john " bloodclot " joseph and the inimitable harley flanagan - - a man who had a full chest tattoo by the time he was 13 - - cro - mags introduced a metal influence by way of motörhead and tank that provided the template for post - 1986 hardcore . they were also , notably , the first band to have a video on mtv featuring moshing and stage diving . later efforts never quite measured up , but their debut is the most furious half hour on wax since damaged . - nicholas pell

if 1982 was the year of hardcore ' s zenith , 1986 was the year crossover crested . crossover was an attempt by marketing geniuses to get punk to sell by making it more metallic , appealing simultaneously to punks , skins and headbangers . the attempt fell flat , but resulted in some killer records , like agnostic front ' s sophomore effort cause for alarm , which came out in ' 86 . featuring early masterpieces by late type o negative front man peter steele ( " the eliminator " , " growing concern " and " toxic shock " ) paired with roger miret ' s frantic vocals and alex kinon ' s guitar heroics , the result is a perfect union . - nicholas pell

overshadowed by black flag , double nickels on the dime was nonetheless released to critical acclaim by san pedro natives the minutemen . recorded in venice , it showcases mike watt - - the godfather of l . a . ' s funky bass sound in punk , who has gone on to work with folks including nirvana , the red hot chili peppers , and iggy pop . minutemen ' s song " corona " finally broke big due to jackass , but it was d . boon ' s political lyrics , driving guitar riffs , and george hurley ' s frantic drumming that make double nickels on the dime hardcore perfection . - juan gutierrez

washington d . c . ' s bad brains have the distinction of bridging punk to hardcore by way of mind - bending free jazz . just before they released this self - titled tape ( it didn ' t come out on vinyl until later ) punk had been in need of a reboot and an good infusion of real ire , in the face of new wave and all that poppy pap . what came out of the tape , was a hardened core , if you will . hr and company may have " learned " punk from ocean - crossing brits , but they rebuilt the whole fucking thing with over - clocked powertools and started something new ; something more furious than the angriest of angry kids had ever seen . cores do not get any harder than " pay to cum . " - paul t . bradley

hardcore , despite its outward aggression , is ultimately about positivity . it ' s about finding yourself in a world of shit ( namely reagan - era suburbia ) and trying to make something out of it . reno , nevada ' s 7 seconds wrote the book on positive hardcore and that book is called the crew . frontman kevin seconds ' soaring vocals created melodic hardcore that doesn ' t lose its edge . in 2013 , denouncing violence and promoting scene unity is old hat , but in 1984 , 7 seconds offered a glimmer of hope to kids who loved hardcore ' s energy but bristled at its factionalism and fighting . - nicholas pell

sure , it ' s not technically an album , but there is nonetheless no better introduction to the genre of hardcore than minor threat ' s complete discography . so fast , so tight , so righteous , so young : ian mackaye , brian baker , and co put d . c . hardcore on the map and established an ethos or two ( straight edge , diy ) , all while being flat out better than their contemporaries . that minor threat ' s entire body of work fits on one cd doesn ' t diminish its significance ; even today , it ' s still perfectly out of step ( with the world ) . - patrick james

here’s a list of my 50 favorite albums of 2013 . this is by no means a definitive list . these aren’t “the best” or “the most important” records of the year . they’re simply the 50 records that , for one reason or another , managed to capture my attention , spark my imagination , excite and inspire me . they also often drove me into fits of loud song , wild dance , and happy laughter . i love these records , i’m grateful for them , and i want to share them with you . many of these you will already know . others will be new to you . i hope you enjoy them all as much as i do , but i will , of course , understand if you don’t . please feel free to share your own favorites in the comments section .

note : i’ve linked to sites where you can learn more about the music , sample the music , enjoy it in its entirety , and / or purchase it . the formats listed are simply those that i happen to own ; in most ( if not all ) cases , other formats are also available . ( usually , i just buy the first format i can find and / or afford . )

random observation : lots of black - and - white album art this year .

thanks steven for pointing toward new and interesting music . it ' s hard to keep up at my advanced age . you perform a valuable service .

you had a pretty good list . my top 25 are listed below , still haven ' t posted it to my blog as it is still a work in progress . the final will have 100 , and the top 25 should remain as below with # 1 being my favorite .

too much pop music , need to expand your listening selections . from the progressive rock / jazz area . . . . . fantastic music and producton all around , a few of my favs .

thank you for your list and expanding into the prog rock field . when i read your list , i thought , most of them are also my personal cds of the year , but i was not aware of the group fright pig . so i gave them a listen and ordered the cd right after 5 minutes . how could i have missed this band .

flying colors – live in europe ( with mike portnoy , steve morse , neil morse , . . )

flying colors ~ a fav of mine , actually have seen neal morse on his last two tours and will be seeing the transatlantic tour in feb 2014 .

leprous ~ i have tried on that one . . . maybe need more spins

dt ~ huge dt fan . . . this one though is hit and miss for me , i miss portnoy .

for those of you unfamiliar with the vinyl factory , they are worth investigating , if only for their weekly newsletter .

what an outstanding list ! thanks for sharing . here ' s another great one :

lots of your picks are in my top albums of the year as well .

and i could ( rightly or wrongly ) be put in my place as per my own opinions and preferences .

• there is no such thing as sensory overload . i am just an old fuddy duddy who has failed to " move with the times , " and electronica and rap are the modern day equivalents of indigenous music created in cadence with nature and spirit .

granted , definitions for nature and spirit might be helpful , but beyond the scope of a comment section .

still , try as i might to be open minded in my attempt to understand the impetus for the creative process , i really don ' t get the kanye west piece . . . ?

@ kelven - by the way you describe the music as ' sensory overload ' and ' bombardment ' it sounds like you are simply not accustomed to developments in modern music . that ' s ok , and so what if you ' re an old fuddy duddy ? many of us will be one day . if the music doesn ' t speak to you , it doesn ' t speak to you . but if you can be open minded , maybe you ' ll give some of the new music a chance . context can definitely help in understanding music and other forms of creative expression . for instance , if you ' d never listened to jazz before and say picked up a record by food , you might not understand what they were inspired by , what perspective they ' re coming from . not saying context is going to help you appreciate kanye as an artist , but perhaps there ' s something more to his work than meaningless dribble ? maybe it is meaningless crap . but there is good stuff out there that ' s unique , and inspiring , and you ' d be doing yourself a disservice to pass it all up because music has changed .

in some ways i am aware of how anachronistic i can be , e . g . , more inclined to enjoy art from the renaissance period over the contemporary .

i am fascinated by electronica music and get a kind " kick " from it from time to time - - and for that matter am currently burning - in some speakers with yello ' s planet dada flamboyant ( but in all fairness will soon be leaving the house for a few hours ) .

however , when it comes to what i might refer to as a " heart connection " with music , i guess i am not yet there with a lot of the current artists . ( hence , my grossly " pop psychologizing " of the current day social milieu as overstimulatiing of the senses - - and a possible link / mirror with music preferences . )

still , i cannot deny the experience i have with electronica and rap is one that goes " around me " instead of " into me . " but maybe that is what is intended with what some describe as ambient music . . . ?

i listened to this album , beginning to end , hoping to discover the spark that must have appealed to stephen meijas . sorry , i cannot find any : it is a mess and very very pretentious to boot . interestingly , it is like a lesser laurie anderson + björk ( check out the way she pronounces the word " city " in the opening track . it is identical to björk ' s ) .

i ' d like to first and foremost submit gregory porter ' s latest . a bit forward in the recording , but nevertheless 5 stars for content and 4 . 5 for recording .

" catalyst " by marqueal jordan is a refreshingly well recorded album by an emerging jazz talent i hope to hear more from .

" hand picked " by earl klugh also exposes the challenges of recording solo instrument performances - how do you resolve staging since it could get boring with just one instrument . . . but it is * very * well recorded .

finally , i ' d nominate " just what you need " by brian simpson . this is a 256k mp3 amazon recording i can listen to through my - revealing , if i may state so - system and be entirely happy with it . awesome all around , crystal clear .

teammates of schnuck markets , inc . have been serving customers a unique combination of quality food , variety and value for more than seven decades . founded in north st . louis in 1939 , the family - owned grocery company has grown to include nearly 100 stores in five states : missouri , illinois , indiana , wisconsin and iowa . to find the closest store to you , please visit our store directory .

the seeds for the schnucks of today were sown in 1937 , when edwin schnuck started his own wholesale meat business . two years later , his wife , anna , opened the family’s first retail store – a confectionery in north st . louis . their oldest son , edward ( ed ) , followed his parents’ lead and also opened a corner store in the area . soon after , two additional stores were opened by second child , annette , and her husband , raymond hanhardt , and their third child , donald ( don ) , with his wife , doris . while separate enterprises , the four schnuck families operated as one when it came to corporate philosophy , advertising and buying .

by 1947 , the families had opened seven retail grocery stores among them . ed sold his stores to join his father in the business he had established at 4356 manchester in st . louis . later , don and doris sold their store to assist in the acquisition of a second major grocery location in the st . louis suburb of brentwood . schnuck markets soon became established as the “meat masters” with excellence in meat products .

those two locations became the nucleus of the company today . in 1952 , edwin and his two sons incorporated as schnuck markets , inc . they had learned a lot about managing a grocery store from serving independent grocers in their wholesale meat business . that experience also gave them a solid foundation for developing the outstanding meat departments for which schnucks is still known today .

schnucks also became known for the friendliness of our teammates . the friendly atmosphere of the stores so delighted customers that they frequently wrote enthusiastic letters and shared genuine compliments about teammates with schnucks managers . in 1961 , schnucks adopted the slogan “the friendliest stores in town” to highlight what our customers felt was our primary strength .

by the late 1960s , schnucks was operating 10 modern , state - of - the - art stores in the st . louis area . the times were revolutionary ! schnucks was the first major food retailer in the st . louis area to drop popular trading stamps and replace them with “the price revolution” campaign that substituted lower prices for trading stamps . a new symbol accompanied this theme – our friendly saluting soldier – which is still one of the most recognized corporate logos in st . louis .

diversifying our operations in the late 1960s , on the verge of tremendous growth , schnucks opened the first warehouse for produce and high - volume grocery items . the location and size of our distribution facilities have grown through the years to serve the needs of more and more customers shopping at an expanding array of stores . owning and operating our own distribution facilities enables us to provide better service when it comes to delivering the products our customers want when they want them .

1970 was a year of growth ! schnucks opened a new grocery warehouse facility with the capacity to handle future growth . later that year , that growth occurred more rapidly than anticipated when schnucks acquired the bettendorf - rapp chain of stores in st . louis and more than doubled store count overnight . that purchase put schnucks in a position to serve a greater number of customers throughout the st . louis metropolitan area .

in march of 1970 schnucks announced the grand opening of medi mark , the family pharmacy at schnucks hampton and gravois . this was the first combination food and drug store for schnucks and our first pharmacy location . we have since expanded to 95 in - store pharmacies . our pharmacies offer convenient , one - stop shopping with prescriptions filled while the customer shops .

as the needs of customers changed , schnucks became a leader in developing combination food and drug stores beginning in the mid 1970s . these full - service food and drug stores offered customers the convenience of more products and services under one roof . we remain committed to this format today as we continually add and modify the exact product mix in each store to match our customers’ desires .

in our ongoing effort to offer unique , high - quality products to our customers , we began adding manufacturing facilities to our operations in 1961 with the opening of our first bakery plant . in the early 1990s , we consolidated our food preparation in one central usda - inspected kitchen , where entrees , side dishes , salads and smokehouse specialty items are prepared for retail sale in our deli , chef’s express and meat departments . our manufacturing operations have relocated through the years to accommodate growth and gain the advantage of technological advancements and innovations which help us better serve our customers .

the 1980s and 90s also marked a transition in leadership at schnucks from the second generation of the schnuck family to the third . overseeing operations of the company today are the six children of don and doris : scott , todd , craig , mark , terry and nancy , as well as stephanie - ed and marilyn’s only child .

dramatic growth & opportunity 1995 was another banner year for schnucks . in june , schnucks acquired 57 stores from national supermarkets , our single largest competitor in the st . louis metropolitan area .

in 2005 , schnucks opened the first iowa store , in bettendorf , offering savings , service and selection to the quad cities community . at schnucks , growth and change are two constants . as our customers change , we change to meet their needs . as the neighborhoods we serve grow , we grow with them .

with the past as a predictor of the future , we can count on ongoing growth and change at schnucks . one thing will never change : our recognition that our customers are our reason for being . every position in the company exists to help us understand , serve and satisfy our customers .

schnucks buys 7 rockford , ill . , stores from kroger - st . louis business journal

please sign in and use this article ' s on page print button to print this article .

less than three weeks after selling nine grocery stores in the memphis area to kroger , schnuck markets inc . is now acquiring seven stores in rockford , ill . , from kroger .

schnucks already operates four supermarkets , under the logli name , in the rockford market .

“we are excited for the opportunity to serve more rockford - area customers , ” said chairman and ceo scott schnuck . “these additional outlets will enhance operating efficiencies across the region and improve our ability to compete with a growing number of traditional and non - traditional retail outlets . ”

schnucks entered the rockford market in 1998 with the purchase of three logli stores and added a fourth location in 2000 . the four stores currently have 675 employees .

scott schnuck said the rockford market has changed over the past decade , with walmart opening more stores and independent chicago stores entering the market . “it’s a very price - competitive marketplace , ” he said . “we’re going to have our job in front of us to maintain our position here . this acquisition will create efficiencies in buying , advertising and logistics that will help . ”

on sept . 2 , schnucks sold nine grocery stories and eight gas stations in memphis to kroger . schnuck said its three remaining schnucks stores are in the process of selling off all their inventory , such as schnucks private - label items , that kroger did not purchase when it acquired the other memphis locations . the three remaining schnucks should be closed by the end of next week , he said . schnucks entered the memphis market in 2002 with the purchase of 12 former seessel’s grocery stores from albertson’s inc .

“we were unable to gain the strong foothold we had hoped for when we entered the market in 2002 , ” scott schnuck said at the time of the sale . “schnucks competes very favorably in other markets , but in the mid - south , fierce competition including a growing number of non - traditional grocers and a lingering high price perception was the one - two punch that brought us to today’s announcement . ”

going from a family run operation to a corporate run operation is always difficult but i this case it was a plus and minus . you lose the one on one relationship vs . the corporate systems . i learned from both aspects and grew with the experience .

i was a cahier for this company until i moved to california . i loved being a cashier !

overnite stocking of shelves . cleaning , and facing items as well as setting up floor displays . all coworker assigned aisle to stock and to help others get their aisle finished on time .

so what we want to know is how will that affect us so we looked into this sale ' s impact on employees and customers .

schnucks also plans to re - hire the more than 700 employees that work throughout the seven stores .

schnuck said , “i don ' t think it will be any effect at all , that ' s something where we have to sit down with the union . "

shopper lynne hambel said , " i hope they ' ll be able to bring in to more variety back into the logli / schnucks stores . "

schnucks says the deal will help them survive against competing store and their prices will show it .

some more permanent change though : there will no longer be the kroger shopper ' s card since kroger owns the rights to that . logli says they try to immediately offer the best and lowest prices without a card . however , they say a savings card is a possibility in the future .

schnucks says they will have a customer call line to get feedback on what shoppers would like to see in the new stores .

schnuck said , “we are excited for the opportunity to serve more rockford - area customers . convenience is one of the primary factors customers use to determine where they shop for groceries . these additional outlets will enhance operating efficiencies across the region and improve our ability to compete with a growing number of traditional and non - traditional retail outlets helping to ensure we remain a strong contributor in the rockford community . ”

schnucks entered the rockford area in 1998 with the purchase of three logli supermarkets . the company added the rockford plaza charles street location in 2000 . the four stores currently employ 675 teammates . ( in 2002 , schnucks also opened a logli store in nearby janesville , wis . )
