AGENT 86 - Apartheid American Style EP (1986)

Another one of those bands I've heard of but never actually heard until recently. Originally from Arcata, California these guys moved around to a bunch of different cities until finally settling down in Vegas (yes, they're still around!). Clearly they were big D.O.A. fans because not only did they cover New Wave Sucks, they also got Joey Shithead to produce 'Apartheid'. Since the cover of this 12" has INCLUDES BONUS 9-SONG 7" EP "SCARY ACTION" stamped on it, I'm throwing that on here too. Merry Xmas!

VA - Killed By Hardcore CD (2001)

Great compilation chock full of lesser known and underrated bands from around the world. Put out by the same label that released all those Killed By Death comps. Even thought I've owned this since the early 00's, it's only in recently that I've grown to truly appreciate foreign HC. I really wish I hadn't waited so long to discover the back catalog of bands like Lama and Colera, but it's not like I could find their records in the local shops anyways. This originally came out on vinyl but I ripped this from the CD version, also known as the "Yuppie Edition".

FRÆBBBLARNIR - Bjór EP (1981)

Stoked to finally own this long out-of-print slab of early Icelandic punk. I posted a Killed By Death comp that featured a couple songs from it two years ago. As I mentioned in that post, I discovered these guys when I saw them live in Reykjavik back in May 2013. The pics below was taken at that gig by yours truly. This 7" was never released with a cover, just one of those thin paper sleeves. So yeah, it's got some scuffs but I cleaned it up the best I could. Considering the band is still around, I'm a bit shocked it's never been reissued.
