Like Chain Reaction, I discovered this Italian band from the 'Love/Hate' compilation. I found a copy of the third pressing for a decent price even though it's long out of print. With all the reissues coming out in recent years I'm surprised no one's re-released it. They also put out two more albums with a different singer and a bit more of a post hardcore kinda sound.

I think it's safe to say this record needs no introduction. Yeah it's appeared on a thousand other blogs, but I thought I'd post it because who knows if and when this will ever be reissued. Ripped from the 2015 Mexican fanclub (bootleg) edition.
HUGE thanks to Chris Iller who ran Canadian punk/HC label Fans Of Bad Productions for sending me these long lost demos last week. It was through compilations he put out back in the 90's like "Fuck The Commonwealth" where I first heard this Victoria band. I've always wanted to hear more from them and for years I searched online to no avail. Although it's a shame the Fruits never had a proper release at least they left behind these recordings. It only took me two decades to finally hear them but hey, better late than never eh?

Out of all the split 7"s Total Fury have been on, this one here is by far the best. I say that because I think it's the closest they've come to matching the intensity of their classic "13 Songs" record. The Oath side is nothing to sneeze at either.

Final release by this local NYHC-influenced band whose members have played in many other groups in Vancouver over the years. I know I saw these guys at least once back in the day but I'd never actually heard any of their recorded output until I recently bought this 7". They at least put out two other EP's and appeared on some comps during their 1995-2005 existence.
1. System Downfall/Not On My Watch 2. Memorial 3. Violent Protest 4. Blood Alley 5. Ain't No Way! DOWNLOAD
Single-sided 7" that came with the photo book of the same name. Here you get four new school HC/punk bands covering four old school HC/punk bands.
1. VIOLENT REACTION - Victim In Pain (Agnostic Front) 2. BARGE - Stabbed In The Back (Youth Of Today) 3. NIGHT BIRDS - Haunted Town (Effigies) 4. GOVERNMENT WARNING - Deny Everything (Circle Jerks) DOWNLOAD
Goofball fastcore (or is it thrashcore?) from Los Angeles. They put out a bunch of records and splits throughout the last decade but this 7" is the only one I own because 'Record Nerds' is my jam!
