To still be a hardcore punk musician these days takes dedication. It’s been close to a decade since bands like AFI or H20 were signing major label deals or getting mainstream attention. But none of this seems to matter to Massachusetts-based Bane, who have been making fist pumping, hard-driving punk since 1995, and show no signs of slowing down. Aaron Dalbec and company will be touring coast this summer to celebrate their latest EP. And unlike Rise Against, Bane’s music still sounds pretty much the same as it did 15 years ago: breakdowns, heavy guitars, and shouting lyrics about living straight-edge. Bane may be grown up, but they’re still teenagers at heart. With Strike Anywhere, Touche Amore, Lowtalker. PAIGE RICHMOND
