We have a few but very good Hardcore bands that can easily compared with other european bands but we don't have the full support from the people here...so we try to find a way to spread it..We have some bookers/promoters that help a lot!! Also i think we have a great hardcore/punk scene..

I think Senseless - Homicide Effect - Against The Society - Die Without -Voidwalker - Censored Sound - Psycorepaths - Como Esta Loco are worth a check..and many other bands that i can't name them all now..
