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".

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."
