I remember conversations I would have with a fellow music-obsessed friend of mine back around the end of the '80s where we would talk about groove riffs and how we couldn't understand why more hardcore bands didn't use them more frequently. We were talking about the mosh pit-inducing parts that groups like Killing Time and Leeway had, but only used sporadically. Today, I'm sharing my list of the five bands that I think did the style the best. Most people refer to this kind of stuff as "beatdown hardcore," so that's what we'll use today. Led by vocalist Kevone, Bulldoze are perhaps the biggest influence on the breakdown-heavy hardcore bands that came after them in the mid-'90s and beyond.
