Hardcore punk

H.R. is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Bob Marley and James Brown. Those roots explain a lot about how H.R. arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Darryl Jenifer, Mutabaruka, tradition, U Brown and Long Beach Shortbus, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Gogol Bordello, Gone, Ill Bill, John Joseph and Chino Moreno, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 26 connections around H.R., reaching back through Bob Marley and forward to Gogol Bordello.
