Terror is a hardcore band from Los Angeles, California. Their second album One with the Underdogs sold over 40,000 copies.

Their third album, Always the Hard Way reached #10 on Billboard's Heatseekers and #19 on Top Independent Records.

Before Terror, vocalist Scott Vogel was already popular among the… Show more underground scene, singing for mid-90s Buffalo bands Slugfest, Despair, and Buried Alive. Drummer Nick Jett and ex-guitarist Todd Jones were members of the well-known hardcore band Carry On (who had releases on Bridge Nine and Youngblood Records). Carl Schwartz recorded much of Always the Hard Way after quitting the band to front First Blood full time.

Vogel is widely known in the scene not just for his efforts to keep hardcore punk and metalcore "pure" and "fun," but for his love of stagedives, and for his tendency for bizarre and often hilarious on-stage banter, known colloquially as "Vogelisms". Examples include: "We need to elevate the maximum stagedive potential", "Take this s~~t to the next level", "Who cares if you're Christian?", and "Maximum output! Activate the pit!" Terror also participated in the first two years of the Sounds of the Underground tour.

Founded on beliefs that are in short supply within the current underground music scene, Bane has established themselves as one of the most influential and relevant bands in hardcore today. Since their inception, they’ve become one of the scene’s hardest working bands touring the world over and releasing the full lengths, It All Comes Down To This and 2001’s critically acclaimed Give Blood, an album that breathed life into the then-stagnant hardcore scene. Returning with their first album in three years, Bane offer up The Note - an album that embodies the spirit, the community, and the love of traditional hardcore that Bane has become synonymous with. In stark contrast with many of its contemporaries The Note is not laden with trends but with powerful, energetic and passionate performances that serve as a wake up call for modern day hardcore.
