Are you ready for some good big Central Illinois music news?? Well… today we are reporting the launch of a new website – MIDWEST-HARDCORE.ORG. This is a new website that is being compiled (and still being worked on) by Springfield hardcore legend Drew Kodrich (Asthma, Gazeebo, Mouthsex, Small Man, Pryss, Torture Trend, Prevention, GUSH, Final Order). Drew had this to say:

“Hello world! I made this website that’s attempting to work as a database of all the “active” hardcore bands in the midwest. I’ve gotten to about 200 bands on my own, but I could really use your help! Share this around (if you’re so inclined) and either use the submit form or just message me if you have any bands to be added. I know I’m definitely missing stuff. Thanks!”

Amazing. On the site, you can search and look at active hardcore bands by the city or state they are in. You can also submit bands, checkout featured bands and playlists each week! How fun! What do you think of this? Let us know on our underground discussion forum.
