Holy shit.. Their old drummer used to blow my mind, but this dude is so clean and hits so hard... Like there is so much energy in his playing and I love it.
Agreed. I've found that a lot of hardcore style drummers are absolute fucking monsters behind the kit. The speed and accuracy needed for this shit is why these guys can burn 500 calories in a half hour hahaha.
Bro, Counterparts is addictive. It's like there's 500,000 other hardcore bands out there. But this one is mine. I don't care what anyone says, I love these guys. They speak to my soul. Thanks for the upload!
Joshua Moore Yo I couldn’t agree with you more! They are my fav hardcore band. Lyrics are relatable and the instrumental parts are straight up addicting.
Counterparts is the whole reason I fell in love with hardcore. I mean I was listening to Dead Kennedys and punk hardcore, but never really got into hardcore as a genre because of my grievances with the straight edge authoritarians that bragged about beating drug dealers up (which is so fucking opposite of what hardcore originated as being the working mans music and finding comradery in the anger and frustrations of capitalism). counterparts is something completely different and so fucking real that I can't help but love every single song they have. The emotional lyrics fit so fucking well with the power and anger of hardcore. I can't help but start swinging my fists around when I hear good shit like counterparts. Counterparts I think speaks to the millennial and zoomer generations sheer desperation and sadness from a broken capitalist society that's rejected and repressed our true desires as human beings. I think Brendan speaks to that depressed feeling younger people like us because we feel angry and desperate for change, but feel hopelessly lost because no one (society) seems to care what's best for our souls and not just our pocketbooks. Counterparts isn't just hardcore music, it's revolutionary music. I consider them to be a voice for a generation, and I sincerely hope that more and more attention is given to bands like this that speak on real shit and not just booty and money.
definitely. but i've seen kyle played live in my country, and the whole set was akjbgjsdnbjkdasnvkj;dsnvdsanbjgfsdangbfdsagdsjknsdaka i can't even describe. like he got unusual amount of energy for the whole set. full power and flawless
bro i love that counterparts and knocked loose can rep a softer band like movements. like... fuck the scene is tight again and it's hard. just bands appreciating eachother and shit. ALSO good lord the drummer is fucking effortless.
as a percussioist I cannot help but bounce to this/playing the beat along the entire time. I feel like i was behind his kit by the time the song is over
