I'm gonna rep my scene because I lived out of state for a hot second and now that I'm back I get to rediscover all these incredible bands - Vein.fm and Fuming Mouth were (and still are) big names in the contemporary Boston hardcore scene, and when I was in Western Mass there was Fetal Anomaly (who I cannot find anymore, they might've just been UMass students lol) and Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean (both bands lean a little more death metal). Adrienne broke up last year, but they were incredible as well. And of course, the classics, Converge and Cave In! I also recommend Fiddlehead for something more post-hardcore, like Title Fight-adjacent sounding, one of the members was a friend of mine's chemistry teacher in high school
