Biography
1. Tragedy is a crust punk band, originally from Memphis, Tennessee, but currently residing in Portland, Oregon. The band formed in 1999 and was born from the ashes of influential modern hardcore bands His Hero Is Gone and Deathreat.
Tragedy’s music is characterized by its unrelenting, heavy hardcore punk sound, often punctuated by melodic interludes and downshifts in tempo. The band remains strongly aware of its roots but often takes the genre in newer, more innovative directions, pioneering a new breed of hardcore punk along with close friends and contemporaries From Ashes Rise, as well other bands residing in Portland and throughout the world. (See: Severed Head of State and Remains of the Day)
Though most of these bands maintain a progressive attitude as to the nature of their sound (Remains of the Day actually includes a violinist among its members), there is a staunch refusal to separate themselves categorically from their hardcore punk provenances. Tragedy draw from many various early hardcore punk bands as influences, most prominently in the vein of d-beat, ranging from Discharge themselves to Japanese d-beat groups such as Deathside.
Tragedy’s first and subsequent albums have met with critical acclaim within the DIY hardcore community, and many see the band as at the forefront of a modern hardcore renaissance of sorts.

hi there! I don't like punk much but I think band "Catharsis" (hardcore/crust) from USA deserves more attention than russian power metal band. So please help with tags and vote for USA band's pictures here http://www.lastfm.ru/music/Catharsis?ac=Catharsis

I got burned out on the old records and barely put them on for the last few years, but listening to them again now reminds me of how fucking amazing they really are. Whenever I need to get myself motivated, all I have to do is listen to "The Lure" and I feel like I could punch life in the face.

Band has aged so perfectly, they get better with each release, except for maybe the time from Vengeance to Nerve Damage. I'm sure many will disagree with me on that, but DDA is one beast of an album with some of their best melodies yet.
