在香港我相信hardcore存在真係只有好短時間,(正如riz那文章所講) 由riz開始組成king ly chee ,到出版由零開始,至king ly chee開始有中文歌詞,開始派發book net ,開始有一些人注意到咩叫hardcore, 有一些人去認同呢樣野,再到軍．三十六組成,一隊 straight edge band,介紹了更多有關straight edge 的事。還有king ly chee簽了Polar Bear ，正準備緊第二張大碟，那時相信會有更多人認識hardcore。而另一隊hardocre band現正在懷胎中!!不久會有第一場show!!!cool!^^相信他們會為hk 的hc 寫下另一頁重要的歷史!!而他們的貝詩手( bassist)成了一位素食者!!(這些會在另一部份再詳細講)

直到而家,開始有一些人真正地明白hc, 真正了解什麼是hardcore硬心。

香港的音樂圈子仍然很細,來來去去都只有一些比較大類的例如metal, rock, rap…..

hardcore就更被人視為小圈子的活動!

其實hardcore在香港都係最近1,2 年先開始多左人認識同接受,以前如果要聽hc 可能只有在網上去搵一些hc 的bands,現在算好d,至少有本土真正玩hardcore的band,但不多數數埋埋都2隻手數完…King ly chee, 軍36 ,五嶽劍派(Bustle, hardpack are playing punkrock)他們就像一個大家庭般組織在一起, 因為大家有一個共同的目標, 一個共同的方向。他們也試過去派飯給一些露宿者, 真正的去做一些對社會有關的事。佢地係真真正正有一顆硬心!!雖然唔知仲有冇其他band係玩hc,但係真正地為hardcore而去夾band的人,真正地知道hardcore的人可能係得佢地三隊!!不會像一些人, 口口聲聲說喜歡音樂喜歡hardcore但只有講一套做一套, 聽下一d粗口歌就話自己係鍾意Hardcore

很多人覺得hardcore是一種比較另類, 思想偏激的音樂, 又有人覺得說hardcore是文化很作狀,但他們眼中郤只覺得Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock Linkin’ Park是hardcore……其實這是不了解hardcore的人的偏見!

Hardcore不只是粗口歌!!在香港自從地下樂隊的興起由其LMF出現後….很多人也誤會了band sound…..以為所有都是粗口歌….其實是否也沒有什麼…只要是正面的便是,但很多樂隊也以粗口歌作買點買弄這文化!!

但我唔係話唔鍾意hardcore就唔正面唔係!!!只不過係唔鍾意d人口不對心~

我都唔係話玩其他音樂的人唔好!!!唔好誤會

最近睇聽到好多來自其他Asia地方的indie bands hardcore bands睇到佢地開始越來越多人認識越來越多人認同,但香港的hardcore 始終都仲係得冇乜人認同

香港的indie bands都玩左咁多年但就仲係比人好地下的感覺!就算佢地玩得幾好玩得幾勁,但香港人都係覺得玩band的人唔好 我覺得好失望!失望的係香港人睇的比人少睇的比人慢~

香港始終都係一個講錢的地方點都係要有錢, 唔似得外國咁,好多真係鍾意玩band的人會全程投入去做音樂,但香港好少可以咁,多數都係有自己的工作,好難話全面去做音樂. 就我所知都只係得臨記,LMF係咁,有唱片公司簽約,可以全面去做自己的音樂,雖然佢地玩的不是純hardcore,但都算係香港夾band的現象…….

Hardcore in HK

In HK I think hardcore has been around for a very short time. Riz formed King Ly Chee the first hardcore band, added Chinese lyrics then together the band started handing out handouts at their shows. Since then some people have come to get a better idea of what hardcore is. Guan 36 formed and Hong Kong had its first straight edge hardcore band! Promoting straight edge in Hong Kong.  Now another hardcore band will begin playing their first few shows with a bass player who has become a vegan (because of hardcore).  Now some people are really trying to understand what is hardcore!

In HK, band sound consists mainly of metal, rock, rap…etc., very few hardcore bands.

Actually hardcore in these past 2 yrs has begun to be understood and actually accepted. In the beginning, we could only find out about hardcore on-line, but now it’s better, at least we have local hardcore bands, its not much just few. They are King Ly Chee, Guan 36 &  5 Disciples (Bustle, Hardpack are playing punkrock).  They are all just like a big family hanging out together with similar goals of wanting to do something for hardcore. Once they put together rice boxes to hand out to street sleepers. This proves that they really want to do something for society from their hearts!!

I’m not sure if there any other bands in hk who are playing hardcore, but I think these bands really know about hardcore. They are not very big fans of those people who are like “I like hardcore…” but its all talk and they don’t actually do anything!!  Just listen to some songs and say they are hardcore kids!!!

I have noticed that many other Asian countries have some hardcore bands now.  They’ve all begun to build a bigger hardcore scene, but look at HK, hardcore is just beginning still only a little people know!!

HK’s indie bands have been around for a long time but everything is still so “underground” although they play so well. HK people still think playing band is not a good job!  Its so disappointing!! Because HK people are so “slow”. 

HK is a place where they always talk about $$ not like other countries where the bands can play music all day & feel like that is their job!! But in HK, only very few people can do it as a job! They usually have to have a real job, earning some $$ for the band so that they can do their music! I just know Lam Kei and LMF are signed to big record companies & so they can pursue music as a full time job!! Although they are not playing pure hardcore, but this is the life of bands in HK!
