I've heard a lot of people say that hardcore is boring, repetitive, simplistic music. While I've seen my fair share of bands that certainly equate to that description, there's a lot of bands out there in the realm of hardcore that are actually exciting, innovative and entertaining, to say the least.

The Hope Conspiracy are exactly what hardcore needs. A band that speaks with the ferocity in their music, both live and recorded. But for those of you that still aren't satisfied, I've added some "special" effects to this week's video to keep you watching.

As always, the video is over at Google Video, or
