Description
In GTA IV, the station is hosted by frontman Jimmy Gestapo and plays hardcore punk from the  music scene. In particular, it appears to be paying homage to the scene surrounding, an iconic bar where most of the bands featured have performed at one point or another. This is further evidenced by the station originating from the in-game equivalent to Manhattan's, where CBGB was located.

In The Lost and Damned, the station is hosted by Max Cavalera and largely centers around classic death metal, chiefly from bands associated with or. While not the exclusive focus of the station, several of the bands featured are drawn from the and  death metal scenes. His segment is referred to as the "Blood Fire War Hate Death Metal Show".

This is one of the preferred stations of the Angels of Death, the Skinheads, the Albanian Mob, Jim Fitzgerald, Johnny Klebitz, Clay Simons, Terry Thorpe, and Henrique Bardas.

Trivia

 * In GTA IV, Liberty City Hardcore is a dynamic station, meaning that music, comments, idents, and commercials play in a random order. The TLAD version is looped, meaning all music, comments, and idents are in the same order.
 * Occasionally Jimmy Gestapo can be heard going into on-air rants against "California kids and their parking lot punk tours", a reference to the popular punk-based touring music festival and how many of the bands that played at Warped Tour in the 2000's were California-based.
 * This is one of the few times where California is directly mentioned in the HD Universe instead of its counterpart, San Andreas.
 * Iggy Pop makes reference to the station in continuity on Liberty Rock Radio giving a shout-out to Jimmy Gestapo.
