The Locust

Hardcore punk
Hardcore punk

The Locust is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of The Nation of Ulysses, Fantômas, Brainiac, Nick Zinner and Drive Like Jehu. Those roots explain a lot about how The Locust arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Some Girls, Daughters, Melt-Banana and Converge, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Hold Steady, Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter, Melt-Banana, Pathology and Alec Empire, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 19 connections around The Locust, reaching back through The Nation of Ulysses and forward to The Hold Steady.
