Biography
The band allSTARS* is incorrectly scrobbled under this tag by Spotify.
RIP since january 2005 The band known as The Allstars went through a lot of things before actually becoming what it is right now. Having struggled to find members for over three years, the final addition to the line-up was made in late 2003 with our beloved guitar player Alex. Like most bands that have evolved in the Punk and/or Hardcore scenes, the purpose of our formation was first and foremost the creation of an outlet through which we could speak our minds. We all love hardcore for many different reasons. We’ve all grown up listening to it and now, we feel the time has come for us to contribute to its existence by offering this humble and personal contribution as a band. We do not aim to become models, we certainly aren’t the next “big thing”; we’re a handful of kids who sees the inherent problems of our world and are trying to make it a little better. We may not succeed but we will do our best. We all believe that hardcore should be about sharing ideals, being true to your beliefs and having a good time while being part of a broader networked community. That’s what The Allstars are all about. As we all know, the great punk/hardcore movement is slowly decaying and losing sight of itself as it is being overwhelmed by MTV doppelgangers and their croonies, who treat hardcore as a consumer good. While many kids are raping hardcore’s original ideals by stealing its image in a pretentious and fashionable manner, there are still some out there who are sincere and who will keep up the fight to perpetuate the tradition. Our music goes out to them, it goes out to everyone who will oppose the negative effects that corporate interest has on hardcore but also on upon our daily lives. The battle must and will go on. We strongly believe there is still hope for the scene and the goals it once stood for. We can’t reinvent the movement or correct its history, but we can carry the torch and we can march in the footsteps of our predecessors to keep this dream alive. This is our share, our way to thank back the hardcore scene for what it had given us.
