SPECIAL FORCES - World Domination LP (1984)

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?

D.R.I. - Rock Against Reagan Live 1983 / 1984 LP (2004)
Unofficial D.R.I. live LP featuring two sets. Side A is definitely an audience recording while the flipside is off the soundboard. The track listing on the back cover isn't 100% correct but what do you expect from a bootleg?

SHUTDOWN - S/T EP (1990)
Happy Canaduh day. I posted these guys' debut tape almost five years ago so here's their only other release. "The Mechanic" also appeared on the 2021 compilation, "Diggin' Up The 90's".

THE MAINLINERS - Heavenly Dose Demos tape (2022)
Hearing this tape for the first time you might think it was a lost demo recorded sometime between the late 80's and early 90's. A lot of new bands try to sound "retro" and "old school", but these dudes actually nailed it. They've since put out a few digital-only releases with better production.

SKÖL - Čista Perverzija LP (1990)
Debut album by this Zagreb band who originally formed some time in the early 80's with a female singer. I recently discovered them through the new archival Yugo comp 'Inkvizicija'.

BUNCHOFUCKINGOOFS - Theres No Solution So Theres No Problem EP (1986)
Debut double 7" by Toronto's most notorious. I think they might've been the first punk band I ever heard of. I remember seeing them on a news report or short documentary when I was like 11 or 12. The narrator was talking about this group who's name they couldn't say out loud so they just quickly flashed their name on the screen. Suffice to say, a rock group having a swear word in their name blew my 6th grade mind! HAHAHA

VA - No Pedestrians LP (1980)
Power-pop, new wave, punk, rock & roll comp outta Toronto. TYRANNA and ZRO4 are definitely the standouts for me.

VA - Underground Music For Underground Creatures tape (1994)
Originally released on cassette in the Philippines 30 years ago, ripped from a CD-R reissue from sometime in the 2000's I'm guessing.

PROXY - Something We've All Seen Before MLP (2013)
After posting that PROXY tape last month, I thought I'd might as well rip their sole 12" and throw it up here since it's still not digitally available anywhere. Plus it's a banger!

Нови Цветя - Cold War Collection LP (2019)
Novy Tsvetya (New Flowers) were one of Bulgaria's first punk rock bands. This LP compiles some of their recordings spanning from 1979 to 1995. Would have been nice if it included some liner notes with a bit of a band history and info on when the songs were actually recorded.

STATE - Verboten EP (2008)
Like the last STATE EP I put up, two of the songs on this are sung in Deutsch. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just thought I'd mention it because I don't really have anything else to say about it. This is the 5th record of theirs I've posted and it's just as good as the others so what more do you want?

PROXY - 2012 Demo + Extra Tracks tape (2013)
Stoked to finally complete my PROXY discography with this tour tape I found last month. It includes their first demo along with some outtakes from their 'Police Car' session and rehearsal cuts.

OUT WITH A BANG! - I'm Against It EP (2005)
Stupid snotty hardcore from Italy that I found for $2. Their singer calls himself Anus, so that should tell you everything you need to know right there. They released two more 7"s but this is their best one.
