Swivel - The defining moment where metal met hardcore in the Merrimack Valley .357 Noise - one of the few bands to pull off the hybrid rap/metal/hardcore thing and do it well. (but the only one from the area) Converge - The reason Hardcore/Metal/Noise mixed Bane - Throwback to Oldschool Hardcore (post-punk/hardcore split) Ten Yard Fight - Throwback Hardcore (preppunk/hardcore split) Alert - Hardcore/Rock/Metal pioneers, ahead of their time. Gambit - Metal, paved the way for bands like Agoraphobic (as scott mentioned) Cave In - mixed rock/metal/alternative and became one of the first bands from the local scene to make it in the REAL WORLD (kudos guys, now it's time to return to your roots) Piebald - Opened the doors in the MV to EMO, if it wern't for them, most likely bands like The Goodnight Flight wouldn't exist. I could go on with the list, but there's no point, if you don't remember or know of any of these bands, then you wouldn't remember any of the less popular ones (Geneva Cross, God Awful, Switch, Bliss/Filter/Quinine, Think Tank, Dead Burning Flowers and many many more...) what do all these bands have in common? The Red Barn (R.I.P.) that WAS the scene back in the day. so, there's todays history lesson. for those that lived that scene, you know what it was like, for those that respect it: good, you understand what once was, and for those that have NO respect for the past and why we still do what we do, it's over your heads, and you'll never get it
