HO-005 - CD |
ANNIHILATION TIME |
| Awesome new album from this Californian outfit. Kinda like a heavier
Slip It In-era Black Flag...and I'm not just saying that because of the mondo-classic
Raymond Pettibon artwork. Bludgeoning, but catchy tunage. Damn cool shit.
On Italian label. |

RPR-025 -
7" |
A POOR EXCUSE |
| Killer band from Boston (sadly now broken up). Similar to early Agnostic
Front (the good stuff). Catchy as hell. This will be an all-time classic for sure. |
|
B9R-06 - 7" |
A POOR EXCUSE / RIGHT BRIGADE |
| A Poor Excuse check in with 5 songs from the same session as their 1st
7” and it’s every bit as good. Right Brigade play 2 originals of scrappy punk
and one Slapshot cover. |
|
DB19 - LP/CD |
B-MOVIE RATS
KILLER WOMAN |
| Full-tilt trashy, ass-kickin punk rock n roll from California similar to early
Gluecifer. Co-produced by Mike Mariconda of New Bomb Turks fame. If this
doesn't do it for you, then you have no business listening to punk. This kills! |
|
HSB002 - 7" |
CHARLIE DON’T SURF
SIX SONGS TO DIE FOR |
| I don’t know about dying, but they’re certainly worth going out of your
way for. This is great shit. Melodic but not wimpy. These guys are from Belgium. “My
Life” is a bonafide classic! |
|
HSB001 - Split CD |
CHARLIE DON'T SURF / END OF ERNIE |
| Another 7 punk anthems from this sadly now-defunct Belgian outfit. A little
rougher around the edges than the "Six Songs" ep, but just as brilliant.
End Of Ernie play crude, untuneful punk...not essential. |
|
LKW026 - 7" |
CHARM
HITO |
| Crazy, insane Japanese hardcore (is there any other kind?). 7 songs on a
one-sided 7" that will blow your eardrums apart. Their cover of Negative
Approach's "Pressure" has to be heard to be believed. One of the coolest
looking records I have ever seen. |
|
RPR-029 - CD |
CRASH & BURN |
| Truly excellent punk rocknroll from Boston. The vocals are similar
to that of Puffball, but the music is more of a junked out, crashed out stab in the
gut. This is downright evil shit. Awesome! |
|
DB73 - CD/LP |
DAILY
VOID
IDENTIFICATION CODE: 5271-684346864436-4519 |
| Trashy,
dissonant punk from the Midwest featuring ex-members of the Functional Blackouts. Good
stuff. |
|
CD |
DEAD NATION
DEAD END |
| The first and only full-length by these guys. 20 songs of full-tilt
early-80s DRI-style US hardcore. |
|
KR-028 - 7" |
DEAD NATION
PAINLESS |
| Tortured, angry hardcore from New Jersey. The band recently broke
up, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on a great record. 8 songs in about
10 minutes. You get the picture. |
|
DXA-011 - LP |
DEGENERICS
GENERICA |
| This is blatant false advertising. This album is anything but
generic. What we have here is some loud, fast, enraged HC with amazing songwriting,
amazing lyrics, amazing musicianship, amazing production, and amazing Winston Smith-style
artwork. Comes with a 16-page zine-style lyric booklet. Simply put...amazing! |
|
SDR-01 - 7" |
ECOLI |
| Repress of this highly-acclaimed hardcore classic. Spastic,
tightly-wound, and blistering. Like early Die Kreuzen, but more raw. Some
copies on blue vinyl. |
|
APR12 - CD |
FUSES
I WANNA BURN |
| Unbelievably great punk from Maryland. Reminiscent of early Social
Distortion, but better! A lot better. This band should be colossal. You should have your
ass kicked for passing this up. |
|
CR-2607/2
- CD
INC 110 - LP |
GRINNERS
PSYCHOVILLE |
| High-octane punk from Sweden. Like Puffball, Hellacopters? You’ll
fucking love this! This absolutely levels everything in it’s path. |
|
MASS 13 - 7" |
IN THE SHIT
THE FALL OF THE DAMNED |
| Classic UK punk in the vein of the Varukers. Fast, heavy, distorted,
loud and angry as fuck. Excellent stuff. 4 originals plus a Spermbirds cover. |
|
LOW-666 - 7" |
JOHNNY BRAVOS
IT AIN'T EASY BEING A JUNKIE |
| More long-lost early-'90s greater-Lowell punk. Female-fronted,
lo-fi, snotty, garagey punk rock. The autopsy photo of Marilyn on the cover pretty
much sums it up. |
|
MASS 24 - CD/LP |
IN THE SHIT
A CANCEROUS SOCIETY |
| The first full-length from these Welsh upstarts. Well-produced and
strong effort, picking up where the EP left off. 11 originals (2 re-recorded from
the out of print first EP) plus a Conflict cover. |
|
DSI 003 - LP |
MFD
FULL VOLUME |
| For those of
you who don't know who MFD were (which I assume is most of you), they were a mid-tempo,
melodic punk band from DC who were active in the mid-to-late-'80s, rubbing shoulders with
the likes of greats such as Government Issue & Black Market Baby. Their sound was the
perfect mix between The Zero Boys and The Freeze. Basically really, really catchy tunes
that had one foot in punk and one foot solidly in rock. This LP (their 2nd) is, without a
doubt, their crowning achievement. Produced by Tom Lyle & engineered by Chris Biondo,
this found them at the top of their songwriting game. This has been one of my most
cherished records since I first stumbled across it many years ago and I've always been
frustrated at the persistent lack of appreciation of this great band. Well, after trying
to contact the band I discovered there still existed a substantial amount of their records
sitting in the hands of folks unsuccessful at moving them the first time around. Naturally
I jumped at the chance to take some of that stock under my wing and disseminate it to
today's youth who don't know what they've missed. So, here it is in all it's 12 inches of
glory on tasteful dark-grey-marble vinyl. Both Tom Lyle (Government Issue) and Keith
Campbell (Black Market Baby) make guest appearances on this particular record. Includes a
stellar cover version of Boris The Spider. Ignore the opportunity to own this
diamond-in-the-rough at your own peril! Some copies have a Boris The Spider promo
7" in them on baby blue vinyl. |

DSI 11 - 7" |
MFD
CHAPTER 3 |
Their 3rd
release (duh). 5 tracks of their signature melodic punk. This release was to be the
prelude to their triumphant Full Volume LP. The usual team of Tom Lyle & Chris Biondo
at the production helm.
|
|
DSI 7 - 7" |
MFD
ALL OF THIS |
| The follow-up
to their debut LP. 3 tracks of solid, memorable tunage. |
|
DB40 - 10" |
PUFFBALL
SOLID STATE (EIGHT TRACK) |
| The most underrated band in Sweden. Total supercharged,
rubber-burning, gearhead punk rock. Pedal to the metal & redlined the whole
way!!! Makes Motörhead sound like they were on quaaludes instead of speed! |
|
SNR-009 -
7" |
SGT. SLAUGHTER
THEY CALL ME GUITAR DICKMOUTH |
| Strong, powerful hardcore that peels the paint off the walls. I get
more than a little Japanese feel from these recordings. Strong production and
interesting songwriting. Definitely a keeper. |
|
HC-7018 -
7" |
SPAZM 151
POWER SONGS FOR THE KIDS |
| Totally kick ass hardcore punk from Texas. 6 songs of intense,
powerful, incredibly strong music. Take a chance on this. You won't be
disappointed, I promise. On pastel purple vinyl. |
|
BHR-15 - CD |
SPAZM 151 |
| More over-the-top hardcore from these Texan miscreants. What more
can I say about this music? It's fast, it's angry, it's hardcore, man! Swedish
import CD. |
|
BOA-001 -
7" |
STAKEOUT
6-SONG EP |
| The greatest
thing to come out of Finland since coffee bread. Seriously, though, this is one of the
best modern Finnish hardcore bands I've heard. Great, catchy, chanty Scandinavian hardcore
similar to DS-13 and the like. Definitely a keeper. Limited to 300 copies and
hand-numbered. Don't miss this! |
