Backtrack "Darker Half" Record Release 12/17/11 

Man , hardcore is so fun. Going to shows for more than 8 years and i don't regret a second. it maybe looks stupid , it's maybe not the most complex/talented music of all time but thing's sure, the message,the passion & the fun at a show is 100% true. Long live to hardcore!

Still haven't seen a better two-step than Franz's since this video was uploaded.

It's been nearly 9 years, and there has yet to be a 2 step as clean as Franz's.

Franz hitting the worlds most beautiful 2step and flying into the crowd. Iconic.

That black guy in the beginning should get an award for meanest stage mosh on earth

Literally the greatest opening to any video on planet earth.

Even in 2023, Franz 2-step is the cleanest one I’ve ever seen

That dude from Turnstile makes this the best live video ever.

I love the beginning right when they start, the energy just explodes. Thats what shows are about.

Man I'm 46 years young and I miss this so bad you guy's fucking party.Got me smiling this morning.Rock the Fuck on.

The man, the myth, the legend. He goes ridiculously hard in this video.

These are the best shows, this looks like so much fun.

1:25 Justice sneaking into the crowd.

Hardcore made the me the person I am today and has gotten me through everything. Thank you. Cant wait to see them in Detroit!

I've seriously watched that black guys two step about 20 times now. It's so smooth. Best two step going

Definitely the best of any of these NYHC revival bands

The beginning, possibly the best two-step I've ever seen...

That Franz two step still gives me the chills. Name a more iconic two step…. I’ll wait….

Was that Freaky Franz at the beginning?

This is the greatest video on the internet. Backtrack is perfect.

R.i.p backtrack

Now this is the hardcore music I can respect. Not a bunch of face tattoo'd douchebags that go around hitting people and starting fights. Everyone is just having a good time. I'm not a fan of hardcore, but this has my respect.

1:24 the singer of Trapped under ice is a fan!!!

You just don't see this anymore at shows. Would love to see more unity and kids getting along and learning the songs of bands.

that guy at the beginning is sick.

Haha Freaky Franz at the beginning. I love this dude.

can't stop watching this.

I love everything about this band

tom cruise is the sickest vocalist

I'm glad you know what hardcore is about! It's about judging people for how they dance!

Love it how at 01:23 the Trapped Under Ice vocalist goes for a mosh.

LA WEA HERMOSAAAA!!! SALUDOS FROM CHILE SOUTHAMERICA!!!!

Freaky Franz stage pitting at the beginning is unreal

This show looks like such a fun time.

this was put out on my birthday :')

The stage dive was the icing on the cake.

THAT 2 STEP. tearin it up, shutting shit down.

The black guy is the bassist from Turnstile.... He's got some sweet moves

PERFECT!

That black dude was at the backtrack show i went to in tampa! he's straight up awesome.

Nice to see Justice Tripp is pretty active at shows.

looks like so much fun :)

watching an entire 11 minute set is tasking

Best 2 step ever witnessed

that is what im fucking talking about!!!! sooo excited to see these guys in 2 days!

Loving that cowbell on the hit-hat

he plays bass or guitar (not sure which) in Turnstile. Check them out there are worth listening !

This shit was nuts. Glad I was there

Yes !

Been a month since you posted this, but I was just wondering; how have things been going since you won at life?

When do you guys come to Switzerland ???? :)

The fall at 0:47 of the dude running on stage. go hard

dam, looks like long island has an awesome hardcore scene

Awesome shit! Respect from Germany!

He's the bassist for the hardcore band called Turnstile.

@HARDCORExWINNING Oh I know that but is considered hardcore punk? As much i hare genres I'm just curious. A lot of bands with this type of style are coming out. Good year for hardcore \m/

are they playing retrace the lines for the first song?!

at 1:23. Is this the vocalist from trapped under ice? Because I dont know anyone by that other tattoo on his back. : D

00:47 right side of the stage

is there a link to their facebook i cant find them

I still be ✨emulating✨ the freaky Franz 2 step

@CrimeSlunkScene I think he's Freaky Franz, Turnstile bassist and a well known member of the Baltimore HC scene.

So true!

this is fun to watch

The black guy throwing down in the beginning is freaky franz , he is a rapper but loves hardcore has done merch and guest vocals for tui , you can see him at the end of TUI's music video "believe".

Is the guy with the back tattoo Justice from TUI?

This looks like a fucking awesome time.

i´m new into backtrack music...whats the first song?

The way the dude at the beginning jumps into his two step is sick haha

just feel it bro!

What's the name of the song that starts in 7:07?

what does frank says in the beginning?

Freaky Franz gettin' down with the two step in the beginning, haha. That's the bass player for Turnstile.

You dont go to many hardcore shows do you?

That's Freaky Franz. He's bassist for Turnstile.

Is that Justice from TUI at 1:23?

yo whats the song at 5 minutes?

To add on to what everybody else is saying that was the sick nastiest 2 step I've ever seen

what is the song called at 7:06?

franz got alllll the dance moves

Good to see Justice from TUI supporting!

how is the first song called?

Is this the best two step in recorded history by Franz?

Looked this up at a show before I entered the pit lol

are they straight edge?

He's the bassist in Turnstile I do believe.

I like the way you think dude. Keep fit and have fun

What's the song at the beginning? I can never remember it!

That dude two steps so fucking hard.

@AyeDoubleYoo he travels with trapped under ice and does vocals at the end of 'believe'

صاخب للغاية🤯

And how the second guy threw his hat in the crowd.... Fuck yeah!!!

1:24 The Trapped Under Ice singer on the left!? Or just copy of his tattoo?

Look at all the parents/teachers lined up at the back. Also notice how the crowd noticeably thins out during the performance as more and more children are told by their parents that it's time to go home.

LOL, I'm 41 and I can't imagine life without hardcore!!! What more is there? Shit, I'm divorced, I've owned a house, I've been all over the U.S., South America, etc. No children, though most of my friends have kids in their teens & 20's. Shit, stage dives & hi-fives until I'm 65, THEN I'll retire from hardcorepunk! Most of these kids will sell out by the time they are 25-30. Not me. And I'm not talking about straightedge, I mean selling out the 'core. Not me, never. ♥

Everyone talking about the "black guy". He is the bassist for Turnstile!

I wish I was there

He is the bass or guitar (cant remember which) for Turnstile and also a merch dude for TUI and probably various other bands. I saw him when TUI recently toured australia and he pulled the same moves as he did in the start of this video hahaha

That dude had a mean two step lmao

What style of hardcore is this band?
