Liberty City Hardcore
Liberty City Hardcore, also known as Liberty City Hardcore Classics or LCHC, is a radio station that appears in Grand Theft Auto IV and is hosted by hardcore punk musician Jimmy Gestapo.

The Lost and Damned Rendition
LCHC re-appears in The Lost and Damned downloadable content. The station has a new musical direction now playing Black/Death Metal as opposed to Hardcore Rock and is now hosted by former Sepultura lead vocalist Max Cavalera. After downloading The Lost and Damned, the new musical content on LCHC is added into the Grand Theft Auto IV rendition of LCHC. Many fans of the hardcore punk movement felt that LCHC had been ruined with the addition of music that wasn't even hardcore. Although, many fans of death metal felt that the genre needed its own radio station.
