In Turkey hardcore is not very popular especially in Izmir where I live. People don't understand the style, they think you're a "rapper". But in Istanbul, there is a small but efficient hardcore crew.
I think it's about culture, religion or something like that. People who want to rebel don't listen hardcore. They listen to some kind of arabesque/middle-eastern style =)
hcmorethanmusic is now back after an extended break. It is a project about the global hardcore/punk scene. The main goal is supporting DIY musical and political activity in the hardcore community and promoting activism, which takes strong positions on fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia and animal rights.
hcmorethanmusic aims to support all kinds of positive culture, giving bulletins to facilitate positive action against injustice and greed. All reports are made by contributors and are published unedited.
Scene reports are welcome, and I will publish anything that I receive…in other words, if you want hcmorethanmusic to continue then it’s up to you…DIY or die :D Peace&Unity, Brian.
UKHCmorethanmusic is a band directory for a closer look at the activity in different areas of the UK.
Where I'm coming from...
If anyone has a problem with any of the photos/videos that I've used then please understand where I'm coming from :)
I'm not in this to rip off people and anyway I mean it as a form of publicity and credit that I have chosen your work :D
Get in touch with me and I'll put in a link and probably even hassle you to write a report about your work :P
My aim is to share and celebrate all aspects of hc culture...anyone is free to write a report at any time and, if it is for the good of global hc, I'll post it.
Also because I can't keep track of the lyrics/history of all of the bands that are posted, if anyone has a problem with any of the attitudes of bands that are featured (rascist, homophobic, misogynist etc.) then let me know...we gotta stay posi :D
Please read my latest policy about graphics in the blog.
