I can't mention Mi Amore and other Canadian hardcore bands without also heaping massive amounts of praise upon Quebec's COBRA NOIR. Also existing in the mid-late 2000's, this band did their part in laying the groundwork for every good hardcore band you hear today. Half of their stuff is damn near impossible to find, digitally or physically, but I managed to scrape together their 2 LP's and a few more at the links above. Their first LP, Abode Of The Dead (2005), is about as close in feel and tone to Cursed as you are going to find in a record. You should be downloading this shit at this point. Their next LP, Barricades (2006), seems almost purposefully under-produced in comparison, but for any fan of Coliseum or Heartless, this is a joy to hear. Listening to these records today, they are still completely and absolutely relevant. It's hard to believe they were recorded almost a decade ago. And if you happen to have MP3's of their Demonstration, Self-Titled or Last Days split 7", please let us know.
