I got to see Gorilla Biscuits when they first reunited. Awesome show. I think this was it.

Refused and Botch are also up there for me on my list. Botch still slaying.

For sure. Also good bands. There are so many to list if we’re being honest. I still remember the first time I listened to The Shape of Punk to Come. It was a game changer. Ahead of its time. I feel the same way about Pretty Hate Machine by NIN. If you listen to it now and remind yourself that it came out in 1989 and look at the music that was big then, it gives you perspective. There are some younger bands I like too. Rotting Out is one. Comeback Kid also (though i wouldn’t call them ‘young’). Hardcore is alive and well.
That’s incredible. Good for you. The energy of a show like that is something to behold.
