TOTAL FURY / GRISSLE - Split EP (1999)

 

As promised when I posted Total Fury's split with Pandamonium, here's their one with Arizona's Grissel. It wouldn't a proper Total Fury split without a cover song, this time it's by Youth Brigade.

THE B-SIDES - Invasion Of The Money Snatchers single (1981)


Early 80's Vancouver reggae/ska/new wave. I bought this 7" cheap recently to put up on here since I've already posted their 'Red To Black' almost 5 years ago.

VA - East Punks 1987 LP (2024)

 

Recently released fanclub LP of the ultra-rare 1987 Japanese cassette comp "We Are East Punk". I had a bit of trouble splicing up WILD BONVERS' tracks as it appears there's an extra song not listed. Which made it tough to label the rest of them as this shit's pretty raw. ZAMZA were my personal faves out of the four bands on here. Not for the faint of heart.

SHORT FUSE - Blight CD (20??)


Burly German HC who's debut LP I posted 4 years ago. This is the CD version of their 2007 EP that also includes their "Fruitless Efforts" EP (2006), first demo (2004) and a live set from '06.

VA - Lepo Je... LP (1982)


Crucial compilation from the former Yugoslavia. Ripped from the 2016 reissue with the black & white cover. You might know a few of these songs on "Bloodstains Across Yugoslavia" and "Yugoslavian Pandemonium".

SEDICION - Verdaderas Historias De Horror LP (1991)

 

Just in time for Halloween, here's the third LP by my favourite Mexican band. Seems like they were going for a more horror punk sound on this one so it's not as hardcore as their previous material but still worth owning. Taken from the 2015 CD edition that includes 5 bonus tracks not on the original record.

BARRICADE / GASMASK - Split EP (2024)


Bootleg split 7" of two relatively unknown Japanese bands. Barricade's tracks are from the compilation, "Rock 'N Roll Boogie '83 Now Hits" LP and are their only known recordings. While Gasmask's are previously unreleased, recorded sometime in the mid 80's I presume.

ILL REPUTE - Halloween Live EP (1984)

 

I usually I don't go in for live records but I found this one super cheap last month. Plus it came with their 1987 Halloween Live II 7", so I added that as a bonus. There's nothing really Halloween about this except for the title....and their cover of "Monster Mash".

SUB GENIUS - S/T EP (1995)


Nineties Anarcho-punk from Nanaimo, British Columbia. Members went on to form Third World Planet, taking these songs with them.

BARN AV REGNBUEN - Folk Uten Framtid LP (2006)

 


Frantic hardcore from the mid 80's that could only have come out of Norway. Hang on... has anyone ever referred to hardcore from Norway as 'Norsecore'? If not I'm coining that shit right now! Anywho, this is the band's discography LP that's got both of their EPs plus compilation cuts, etc...

VA - Epidemie CS (1990)

 

Decent sampler from what is now the Czech Republic, also released on vinyl. Worth Czeching out! HAHA

SPECIAL FORCES - World Domination LP (1984)

 

Classic Berkeley Hardcore. Original vinyl goes for more than I care to spend so I settled for a recent CD bootleg.

WHITE FLAG - Third Strike LP (1984)

 

Second album (don't let the title fool you) and probably best by these guys. You don't really see their records around that often as they're all long out of print. This wasn't cheap or in the best shape (as you can see) but it was definitely worth it.

VA - Another Shot For Bracken LP (1986)

 

"This decent North American comp has something for every musical taste: powerful hardcore, funnypunk, melodic rock, reggae, a 70’s cover and a couple of mid-tempo standard tunes. F.O.D., A.O.D., DISSONANCE, and SCRAM stand out from the pack, but there could have been better tracks from the name bands overall."

RED C / DOUBLE O - Split LP (2016)


Bootleg demo split by two DC bands that have yet to get the Dischord reissue treatment for some reason or another.

REBEL TRUTH - Everybody Hates Everybody, Nobody Loves Anybody... CD (1995)

 

Underrated early 80's HC from Sacramento California who I'm sure you know from the "Not So Quiet On The Western Front". This discography has their out of print 7", demos and a 1983 live set from Winnipeg.

LOST GENERATION - Punk This! CD (1995)

 

Lost Generation were a long running Connecticut punk band who like many of their peers went metal in the later half of the 80's. Luckily this collection only covers their "punk years". Doesn't the cover art and title looks like one of those cheap CD punk comps that were popular in the 90's?
