VA - Killed By Death Vol. 40 LP (1998)

Like it says on the cover, "strictly no english or american junk". Interesting bootleg comp of rare late 70's to early 80's punk rock, new wave and power pop from countries you may not have even expected from in that time period. Most of the groups on here are European, but South Africa and Argentina are also in the house. The reason I bought this record was for the two songs by Fræbbblarnir, one of Iceland's first punk bands (if not the first). I stumbled upon one of their gigs when I was in Reykjavik back in 2013 and thought they were amazing for a band that looked like a bunch of old college professors. I checked out all the local record shops for any of their back catalog, but no avail. But they aren't the only great band on here. I think my favourite song on this LP is 'Gilmore 77' by Spain's TNT. Amazing bass line!

SOCIALCIDE - Sick Of The Pressure EP (2007)

Since I just posted this band's awesome 'Burn In Hell Bundy' 7-inch, I figured I may as well post their equally awesome demo. Originally released on cassette in 2006, this is from the vinyl version that came out a year after. They even pay homage to fellow Virginians White Cross with a cover of 'Jump Up'.

SOCIALCIDE - Burn In Hell, Bundy EP (2007)

Here's a rager I picked up last weekend for $3. Great fast early 80's style USHC, the way your momma used to make. I just love the guitar tone on this record. The first 20 seconds of the opening track is one of the best intros in hardcore, in my humble opinion. 8 songs in 9 minutes, what more do you need?

1. Socialcide
2. Oldhead Fuckhead
3. Kill A Junkie
4. Thoughts Of My Future
5. Burn In Hell, Bundy
6. Suicide (NY Wolfpack)
7. Follow The Herd
8. We Aren't Impressed

VA - America's Dairyland tape (1983)

I ripped this from a recently released bootleg copy of this '83 scene report from Wisconsin. Like most tape comps from this era, the sound quality varies as a lot of these songs are demo and rehearsal recordings. Some of these bands weren't even around long to actually release anything so this comp is the only place to hear them.

FIX MY HEAD - S/T EP (2008)

Don't let the awful cover fool you, this 7" is 7 songs of straight up in your face, no-frills hardcore. This bay area band followed up this EP with another great 7" titled 'Empty Slogans'(which featured my favourite song of theirs, Natural Causes) as well as a split 12" with Poland's Knife In The Leg. Criminally underrated in my opinion.
