Spaced are a Buffalo hardcore band whose self-described far-out hardcore brings color, groove, and psychedelic personality into a style often defined by blunt force. Emerging from western New York's active hardcore environment, the band built a reputation through energetic shows and releases that make aggression feel elastic rather than one-dimensional. Their music combines fast hardcore rhythms, shouted vocals, bouncing bass, sharp guitar parts, and flashes of alternative rock melody, creating songs that can be heavy, playful, and defiant at once. Releases such as Spaced Jams, Spaced, and No Escape show a group interested in empowerment and movement, with vocalist Lexi Reyngoudt giving the songs a commanding center. The band often writes about pressure, selfhood, resistance, and refusing the pull of pessimism, but the music avoids gloom by keeping its pulse lively and direct. Spaced stand out because they understand that hardcore can be serious without being monochrome. Their visual style and sonic brightness make the band feel distinct, yet the foundation is still pit-ready urgency. Spaced matter as part of a newer hardcore wave that treats personality as strength, bringing weirdness, bounce, and conviction into short songs that hit quickly.

Spacetrucker is a grunge-inflected stoner metal band from St. Louis, Missouri, formed in 2016. They blend the fuzz and heavy low-end of stoner metal with the loose, blue-collar swagger of grunge, fitting well within the Midwest's tradition of unpretentious heavy rock.
