Guilt Tradition is a Portland-born hardcore outfit formed in 2023 by Matt Thornton (Thrustie) and Jon Moore, with current members including Matt Zuniga (Zuni) on vocals, Thomas Vanderpol on drums, and Dan Bieranowski contributing guitar and production. Grounded in the Northwest hardcore tradition, their sound blends metallic elements with aggressive, socially conscious lyrics that critique faith, power, and societal structures. The band has quickly become a notable voice in the scene, earning attention from reputable outlets like No Echo for their 2025 releases and veteran lineup.
