Hundredth
Aggressive hardcore roots transformed into shimmering, neon-lit shoegaze. High-energy dream pop for late-night drives and existential breakthroughs.

Hundredth represents one of the most dramatic stylistic pivots in modern independent music. Formed in 2008 in South Carolina, they initially gained a dedicated following within the melodic hardcore scene, releasing albums like 'When Will We Surrender' and 'Free' that emphasized emotional intensity and aggressive instrumentation.
However, with the release of 2017's 'RARE', the band underwent a total aesthetic overhaul, shedding their hardcore skin for a sound deeply indebted to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. This shift was not merely a trend-hop but a profound reimagining of their identity, led by songwriter Chadwick Johnson. Their subsequent work, including 'Somewhere Nowhere', has further integrated synth-pop and post-punk influences, moving toward a self-released, independent model. Critically, they are praised for the authenticity of this transition, successfully bridging the gap between the visceral energy of the punk underground and the sophisticated textures of dream pop. They occupy a unique space in the 'heavy-shoegaze' continuum, influencing a wave of hardcore bands to explore softer, more atmospheric palettes.
