Even the hedgehog with many nails has a soft heart behind them.
How it sounds
Like punk called hardcore punk, but in reality, it is just punk with a few elements of Indian religious music.
With lyrics that speak to the message of the Hare Krishna tradition.
Why listen to it
Because at the same time we hate the world like real punks and we want to convey the love message of Hare Krishna.
And because no matter how hard we are, we are attracted to Eastern philosophy and somewhere we want to talk about the Vedas.
Why not
Because although a sub-genre of hardcore it is not hardcore.
And why not like elements of Indian music in Western music.
Where we meet it
In the USA. and not in India
When did it start
Sometime in the late ’80s and early ’90s
Who are the pioneers
Shelter and Cro-Mags are considered pioneers of the genre.
You have to listen
Cause for Alarm, Baby Gopal, Небо Здесь (Nebo Zdeś), Bhimal, Kashmir 9:41
Days of glory
In the 80’s, quite remarkable bands were created, which, however, did not continue.

Red card
