Bold


I just got done doing Judge's discography, so inevitably I had to throw Bold on here too. These guys are another NYHC band that helped popularize the youth crew and straight edge movements. Originally called Crippled Youth, they recorded their debut 7" in 1985 before switching names to Bold, under which they released their debut LP Speak Out. After a few years together, they broke up in 1993. Their final release was the LP Looking Back, which was released in 1991, though recorded in 1989. Thus why their discography album is titled The Search: 1985-1989. Their reunion in 2005 coincided with the release of their discography on Revelation Records (just like Judge), though they have not been active since 2007. I don't know what else needs to be said, these guys are a must-know hardcore classic, enjoy.

  1. You should revisit Dependence! They really have come a long way with their past two releases on Invogue Records. Great stuff.
