Fine. The Rest Of Australian Hardcore.

It felt like this video needed to be done. I thought I did a good job with the last Australian hardcore video I made but a lot of people in the comments felt like a missed out whole scenes and history. Which I fully understand, I neglected them and after reassesing I saw a deeper story than one originally told. Australia is a isolated country but you could say the same for each individual city.

I decided to explore that angle and gave each major scene and state it's own personal shoutout. Hopefully I redeemed myself, hopefully you enjoyed this video and hopefully you all like and subscribe

Editors wanted! Ideally someone who has deep understanding of the scene or at least the topics I cover, who has a passion for alternative heavy music and wants to help build something as a team.

As well as the Patreon being live, I’ve also redone the YouTube memberships. Exact same perks and posts just on different platforms for your convenience.

These videos will always be free but if you want to support me and independent DIY docs then this is a great way to do it. Every penny made from memberships and Patreon goes directly back in to the channel to make these the best videos they can be!

Yo! So I’ve completely rebuilt my Patreon. Stripped it back a little, kept it honest. If you like what I do and want to support me and independent music docs then this is where you can do it. Every penny goes into directly growing the channel to make these videos bigger and better.

James.exe videos will always be free but this can really help grow this into something really special. There’s no posts there just yet but there will be soon.

A new apparel brand in Japan just launched under the name “STRAIGHT EDGE” and have even gone ahead and filed a trademark for the name. The team behind the brand are not related to straight edge or hardcore culture in the slightest. The term straight edge shouldn’t be used to monopolise and profit off a culture important to millions around the world.

I’ve linked a petition to reject the proposal of trademarking straight edge and implore you to sign the petition yourself

New video really soon. It might be controversial but I’m ready for it. Sorry I’ve been MIA the last few months. End of 2025 was really busy and completely took me out of the grind. 2026 will be a year for sure

So excited to announce that I have partnered with Wraith Energy!
My first official creator partnership which feels kinda insane actually...

If you've ever wanted to try Wraith (or just need something to power you through work, the gym or listening to me ramble about 90s hardcore), you can now get 10% off all your orders by using my code:

DOTEXE

Or you can just click this link to go straight to the store:
www.drinkwraith.com/?sca_ref=10026348.PXfUrpGZii

I'll only work with brands that I think you and I would both benefit from and Wraith is no different. So if you do grab something, one, I really appreciate it, and two, let me know what you got! It's not just sugar free energy drinks but hydration too!

This is a huge point for the channel so I'd like to thank all of you guys for the support and allowing me to get to a point where this is even possible
