Tragedy is a modern hardcore punk band, originally from Memphis, Tennessee, but currently residing in Portland, Oregon. The band formed in 2000 and was born from the ashes of influential modern hardcore bands His Hero is Gone and Deathreat.
From the insert to the band's first, self-titled LP on Tragedy Records (2000)
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.
call it whatever you want...Hardcore/Punk is just as lame as Melodic D-Beat anyway. I may not know as much as you do about Tragedy band but most people i talk to classify it as Crust punk. So....dont bust my balls. Thank You.
You are right about it being melodic but thats what makes them so great with the added speed and harmonizing make them one of my all time favorite...Crust (Not)Melodic D-Beat))Bands. Sorry =p
No hard feelings & thanks for sharing this great band with the world. |m/
