8. Backtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2oCfKUvwRk Backtrack's approach to the hardcore formula is somewhat different to the many new-wave hardcore bands emerging. This is in no way at all a bad thing as it effectively makes Backtrack stand out in the crowd! Combing what seems to be a heavy influence from thrash metal and the standard hardcore characteristics it certainly makes a unique and interesting listening experience. The result of this combination is a roller-coaster experience; riffs so engaging that your head will inevitably bang ferociously along to the music and vocals so ferocious it could tame the biggest of beasts. As a new-wave thrash band Backtrack only have two studio albums under their belt, 2011's Darker Half and 2014's Lost In Life, but already the band is taking leaps and bounds to solidify their place in the hardcore scene. Plus, with only two albums it's therefore incredibly easy to get listening to Backtrack and determine your favourite tracks! Watch this space, Backtrack are going places!
