This is going to offend a lot of people, especially since I have listed a few local bands. This is my opinion and is based on either the bands music or the fact that I think it's just time for the band to go and in no way reflects my opinion of the personalities of any member of the band individually. If anything this should be an eye opener to how many mediocre HC bands overstay their welcome. Though there are several bands I love on this list. Feel free to add to this:
