Norway's first hardcore record? I think so. Ripped from the 2008 repress that includes a bonus song (track 3).

AMSTERDAMNED - S/T LP (2011)
If that Amsterdamned 7" I just posted left you wanting more, then how about a full LP's worth of even more unreleased material? Tracks 1-21 were taken from an excellent live soundboard recording from 1982 at Paradiso in Amsterdam. The rest were recorded at their rehearsal studio the same year.

AMSTERDAMNED - S/T EP (2010)
Yet another Dutch band from the 80's who never put out any records during their existence, but should of. This 7" compiles six compilation cuts from 1982-83 along with a live track from '82 and a couple 1987 demos.

BLOODSPORT - I Am The Game EP (1985)
Highly underrated band who's members resume include Strike Under, Effigies and Pegboy so expect that classic Chicago sound. Also got this one cheap and in decent shape at that record fair where I found the previous post.

HUNGRY FOR WHAT - The Shattered Dream LP (1986)
CLASH-influenced (post?)punk from Switzerland that I found at a recent record fair. Like the UNWANTED, they too were an overlooked band on BYO Records that had Shattered in their album title. This was a compilation of their previous releases for the American market. Definitely worth the $10 I paid for it.

UNWANTED - Shattered Silence LP (1984)
Along with Stretch Marks, Unwanted were one of Winnipeg's biggest HC bands in the early-mid 80's. Unfortunately their only vinyl output isn't the best representation of them due to it's flat production. Trust Records oughta give this LP the remix and remaster treatment since they've been reissuing other BYO releases. I included 'Tanks Keep Rolling' from the "Something To Believe In" compilation as an added bonus.

VA - Toronto City Omnibus LP (2003)
A brief snapshot of the scene in T-Dot twenty years ago. Obvious standouts for me are CAREER SUICIDE, HAYMAKER and FUCKED UP.

VA - Valladolid 83 LP (1983)
New wave/punk comp showcasing the early 80's scene in Valladolid, Spain. Ripped from the 2021 unofficial cassette reissue.

7 SECONDS - Dedicated To Hardcore EP (2007)
Unofficial 7" reissue of 7 Seconds 1980 demo "Drastic Measures", minus one track (Police State) but adding the song 'No' from a practise tape recorded sometime in 1981 or '82.

10 MINUTE WARNING - The Lost Months 2XLP (2020)
Killer collection of demos, rehearsal and live tracks by some former FARTZ who include future ACCUSED frontman Blaine Cook and G'n'R bassist Duff McKagen.

VARAUS - Tuomittu Elämään EP (1983)
Let's "Finnish" off this week with another slab of Suomipunk. Ripped from the 2022 reissue.

SEKAANNUS - Kutsu EP (2021)
You wanted more 80's Finnish punk, you got it! Originally released as a three song 7" in 1985, this was ripped from the recent 12" reissue which includes 3 more tracks from the same recording.

PROTESTI - 8 Track EP (1996)
Side project featuring members of Bastards and Kaaos, recorded in January 1983. A few tracks first appeared on the 'Propaganda-Hardcore 83' comp, but the full demo session didn't come out the mid 90's.

VA - Electrocute Your Cock! Vol. 2 LP (2023)
If you're like me, you dug the shit outta Volume 1 so here's a new collection of old rarities by the same folks. Hope they put out more of these.

BAHNHOF - February 82 EP (1982)
UK-influenced punk from Milan Italy. Originally released on cassette in 1982 but ripped from the 2015 7" reissue. This was their only release as the band dissolved after the singer was seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident.

TIMES SQUARE PREACHERS - Don't Be Numb!!! EP (1994)
Raging Swedish kangpunk from the 90's. Personally when I think of a band with a name Times Square Preachers, I picture some college/indie rock-type shit performed by hipsters with scarves and goofy hats opening for the Wallflowers or something. I dunno. But this sounds nothing like that I swear.

TROTSKIDS - La Complète... CD (1997)
French Oi discography disc recorded between 1982-87. You might know 'em from the Chaos En France comps.
October 6, 2023
DEKRET - Brudne Pieśni '86 LP (2022)
Recently unearthed recording by this under-the-radar Polish band that predates their 1988 demo. I believe it was recorded right before one of their early gigs so it was either a rehearsal or taped live during a sound check?

POWERTRIP - When We Cut We Bleed LP (1983)
Jeff Dahl's punk metal band after leaving Angry Samoans. Ripped from the 1987 pressing. "L.A. HARDCORE SPEED METAL RULES!"

VA - This Is Kangaroo Not Berkeley EP (2000)
Kangaroo Records sampler, 12 songs in 16 minutes on a fuckin' 7-inch for maximum value. Why don't labels put out comps like this anymore?!

VA - Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes 2 CD (????)
Another bootleg CD of rare 80's USHC. The KREMLIN KORPS EP is missing the song 'Abyss' even though it's listed. The NEGATIVE APPROACH set sounds like shit but features two unknown songs that don't appear anywhere else. PREMATURE BABY'S kinda suck.

THE LUDWIGS - Celebrate The Death Of Your Bad Times tape (1990)
Local hard rock from the early 90's (in case the use of U instead of You in three of the song titles wasn't a dead giveaway). They seem like the kind of band you'd see opening for 54-40 at the Town Pump during that time period.
September 4, 2023
VA - America's Most Hardcore 2 CD (2005)
Bootleg comp of rare 80's USHC. I tried to take out the pops and clicks best I could because whoever put this CD together didn't attempt to whatsoever.
