A+P - S/T LP (1981)

Catchy Deutch punk that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Bloodstains Across Germany. Ripped from a bootleg cassette with a different cover than the original LP. I got this tape free with some other tapes I ordered online and was quite pleasantly surprised as I'd never even heard of these guys before.

PHILIPPINE VIOLATORS - At Large! tape (1987)

 

Pinoy punk classic with an obvious early 80's USHC influence. Ripped from the 2016 cassette reissue.

NIGHTSTICK JUSTICE - Claustrophobic EP (2008)

Fourth and final release by these dudes, and just as punishing as their previous shit.

FUKUSHIMA - Invisible Hand LP (2014)

Can't believe I slept on this record when it came out considering I'm a fan of the frontman's previous group UX VILEHEADS. While you're at it, check out his new band LEPER since this band is also kaput.

FINAL - Sentido ComĂșn Hegemonico Siglo XXI EP (2019)

Some of the best HC punk has been coming out of Bogota the last few years. You might consider Final a 'supergroup' of sorts since it's members also play(ed) in Muro, Uzi, Secta, Primer Regimen and Tumbas.

QUARANTINE - Demo tape (2020)

 

Alright let's kick off 2021 with THE sickest(pun intended!) demo of 2020. They must've had a crystal ball naming themselves Quarantine considering this tape came out before the lockdown. I was able to score a copy before it sold out and it's still not up on Bandcamp so I figure it's fair game at this point. Featuring members of Chain Rank, Impalers, Power Trip, etc... so you know what's up.
