Hong Kong hardcore

Staying with the Chinese theme from last week.

I picked up this compilation CD when I was in Hong Kong a couple of years ago – it’s a general mix of alternative/underground/independent music but does include punk and hardcore groups.

Talking to the guys in the record shop where I bought it, they recommended – if I remember correctly – the groups King Ly Chee and Sheperds The Weak (not on this comp) as the main hardcore groups in Hong Kong at that time.

Happy Chinese New Year

As it was Chinese New Year last week and the celebrations are continuing until next week, I thought I’d put up some Chinese punk.

These groups are actually all from the earlier part of the decade, when I spent some time in China, and I don’t really know what their current status is – active, inactive, gone emo – or what the most contemporary groups in China might be right now. But here’s a sample anyway.
