It was initially inspired by post-punk and noise rock. Like post-punk, the term has been applied to a broad constellation of groups. Post-hardcore began in the 1980s with bands like Hüsker Dü and Minutemen. The genre expanded in the 1980s and 1990s with releases by bands from cities that had established hardcore scenes, such as Fugazi from Washington, D.C. as well as groups such as Big Black and Jawbox that stuck closer to post-hardcore's noise rock roots.

Ache has been described by the ''Montreal Mirror'' as having an "uncanny ability to meld seemingly disparate worlds into a cohesive whole". ''Discorder'' magazine named Ache Records "Label of the Year" for 2004, citing a featured review on ''Pitchfork Media'' for Flössin's album ''Lead Singer'', as well as the label's DIV/ORCE 7″ seri ...

If Life Were A Result, We'd All Be Dead
''If Life Were a Result, We'd All Be Dead'' is the fifth and final full-length album released by the North Vancouver punk band d.b.s. It was released by Crap Records in February 2000. Although their final full-length, the songs on this album were actually recorded in 1997, before their previous album. The songs were intended to be released on various singles, but this plan never came to fruition. The band's music on this album has been likened to Lifetime and Jawbreaker, marking an "awkward transition" from the political lyrics of '' I Is for Insignificant'' to the more personal lyrics of ''Some Boys Got It, Most Men Don't''.

North Vancouver (district Municipality)

As of 2016, the District stands as the second wealthiest city in Canada, with neighbouring West Vancouver the richest.
