Page "Grindcore" Paragraph 21

The Locust, from San Diego, also take inspiration from powerviolence ( Crossed Out, Dropdead ), first-wave screamo ( Angel Hair ), obscure experimental rock ( Art Bears, Renaldo and the Loaf ), and death metal.

The Locust were sometimes described as " hipster grind " because of their fan base and fashion choices.

Other later prominent grindcore groups of North America include Brujeria, Soilent Green, Cephalic Carnage, Impetigo, and Circle of Dead Children.

Fuck the Facts, a Canadian group, practice classic grindcore, characterized by the " metronome-precision drumming and riffing abound, as well as vocal screams and growls " by Allmusic reviewer Greg Prato.
