The Best HARDCORE Opening Tracks of All Time

Colin and Bo list their favorite opening tracks in hardcore music. Whether it’s for an LP, an EP or a split, the first song on a record sets the tone for what you can expect from a band and often times can end up defining their entire career. They are the ultimate statement piece for what you’re about to hear, so we’ve paid tribute to some of the greatest ever with our official lists over the next 90 minutes.
