Charlotte de Witte to Make Tomorrowland History with Two Mainstage Sets in One Day

Ever since its earliest days in the late ’70s, hardcore has been a communal space and a spiritual salve from the outside world. More than anything, though, hardcore is most often a genre that’s judged and defined by the live show — and what their frontperson can lend to the experience. Whether that’s commanding the pit, sharing the mic, or delivering empowering messages between songs, the singer’s attitude and charisma are imperative. That led us to ask our readers to fire off their nominations for the best hardcore vocalists of all time, which ranged from old-guard heroes like Henry Rollins and H.R. to new-gen leaders like Brendan Yates and Kat Moss. These are their top picks, ranked accordingly below.

5. Bryan Garris

Bryan Garris of Knocked Loose has an instantly recognizable voice, sounding as if he’s about to tear his larynx with every yelp. It clearly comes from a deep place, blending pieces of hardcore and metalcore into a hybrid that’s all his own. His powerful vocal chops are even more arresting live, as the songs sound like a near replica of the studio versions. As the band prepare to unleash their next album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, they’ll serve up another collection of pummeling hardcore that’ll go even harder live.

4. Patrick Flynn

Patrick Flynn initially made his mark with Have Heart, a crew of straight-edge punks out of New Bedford, Massachusetts whose blinding positivity resonated with thousands. When that project disbanded, it opened up room for Fiddlehead, a melodic post-hardcore band comprising Flynn and fellow Have Heart drummer Shawn Costa, plus Basement’s Alex Henery. In Fiddlehead, Flynn adopts a melodic bellow that draws a lot of power and soul, but he still embraces reunions with Have Heart, like at this year’s Sound and Fury and Outbreak Fest.

3. Ian MacKaye

Ian MacKaye is easily one of the genre’s standout vocalists, and our readers agree. He started his legacy with straight-edge pioneers Minor Threat, then became the co-singer and guitarist with Fugazi, one of the earliest post-hardcore bands. Pick any song and you’ll see that his vocals possess tons of power, but there’s also an undercurrent of melody softening his yells. MacKaye also knew that he was nothing without his community, often wading through the crowds and sharing the mic with concertgoers whom he viewed as his equals.

2. Scott Vogel

Scott Vogel has been fronting Terror for more than two decades, making him one of the more OGs on this list. Through their many albums, he’s distinguished himself as an unmistakable presence within the genre, helping to inspire the next wave of hardcore that’s defining our current moment. He also stresses the importance of lyricism, which makes their messages remain relevant — like the title track of their 2010 album, Keepers of the Faith — in the modern era and furthers their longevity. Witness his fury for yourself as Terror join Drain on tour next month in what may very be the hardcore tour of the year.

1. Keith Buckley

In a surprise twist, our readers named Keith Buckley as the greatest hardcore vocalist of all time. If you’re wondering if Buckley is truly hardcore, or maybe just hardcore-adjacent, consider his CV. In the ’90s, he served as the vocalist for Buffalo’s local cover band Soul Patch. With Every Time I Die, Buckley raged over the band’s blend of hardcore and Southern metal. When that project eventually ended, much to the dismay of thousands, he formed a new band Many Eyes and made their debut with a swaggering single that has glints of the genre. In all of those bands, Buckley’s vocal performances have always been top-tier, and that extends to, and is heightened by, his recent live shows, where he mixes his signature bark with choruses that soar.
