If you have their discography disc, there isn't anything on this record you haven't heard except their 1982 demo (tracks 1-6). Which I think would've made a killer 7" on it's own. According to the insert tracks 11-16 are listed as 2nd EP demos but it's just the full recording session as 11-13 sound just like the 7" versions to my ears.
There's gotta be over a hundred bands out there in the world called Kaos. But this particular band with that moniker is from Peru and has no relation to KAOS GENERAL from the same place and time period. These demo and live recordings have repackaged and reissued at least 4 or 5 different CD and vinyl releases so it shouldn't be too hard to track down for yourself. I wish they recorded more because I just really dig the singer's voice. Does anyone know if he was in any other bands?
Another bootleg discography disc by a band that deserves a legit reissue. Primitive shit played by dudes who sound like they just learned their instruments, which sometimes all I want out of punk rock. If I wanna listen to something more complex I'll put on an Iron Maiden record or something. Was disco still a thing worth being against in Sweden during the mid 80's?
Long outta print noisy hardcore from West Germany. This bootleg discography CD-R was just one long track so I did the honorable thing and spliced up the songs and added some volume. Yes I know what I said earlier this year about German punk, but these guys are definitely an exception.
I forgot that I had uploaded this comp to my Mediafire account back in 2018 so here it is finally. I don't need to tell you how great this shit is cuz you already know. Ripped from the 2015 reissue.
Hardcore from Boston that doesn't sound like your typical Boston Hardcore. Members also played in BLANK STARE, SOCIAL CIRCKLE, EXIT ORDER, BLOODY GEARS, CHAIN RANK, etc etc. I guess this recording was too long for a 7" so it was released as a single-sided 12". Or maybe it was supposed to be a split LP and the other band bailed on them?
Somewhat obscure So-Cal punk, though you may be familiar with their cut 'Born Dead' from the '82 comp "American Youth Report". That track was also on their 1981 self-titled 7" which had a different singer and is better than their sophomore effort here. Not saying this a terrible record or anything, just not as good as their debut in my humble opinion.
It's no surprise members of this band also played in BANNLYST, SO MUCH HATE, KAFKA PROCESS and BETONG HISTERIA (to name a few) as they have that same progressive hardcore sound. Must be something in the water (or beer?) in Norway. Ripped from the 2021 CD re-release.
Doggy Style's debut 7". Three of these songs were re-recorded for their 'Side By Side' LP. Vocals kinda sound like a cross between 7 SECONDS and ADRENALIN O.D. to my ears. Fun stuff.
This tasty slab of early Seattle hardcore has been on my want list for a long time, so I was pretty psyched to find it for under $100 CAD on a recent trip to Toronto. It didn't come with an insert, the cover's a little worn and the vinyl has some slight scuffs (especially on The Accused side) but I snagged it anyways because who know when I'll find another.
For those who don't know, The Accused on this split was the pre-Splatterock version of the band with original singer John Dahlin. Here you'll find them playing straight-up USHC before becoming the crossover powerhouse we all know and love with Blaine Cook on vocals. I still dig this recording though. And of the course the Rejectors' side is great too. Totally underrated.
Now this is my kind of NYHC. Ad Rock's pre-Beasties band in case you didn't know already. Ripped from a recent boot. If this 7" was going to get an official reissue, I imagine it would've happened a long time ago. Since originals start at $300US, this will do me just fine.
High school hardcore from the Hoosier State. You can tell these kids are literally learning their instruments. Reminds me a little of that WARBOY EP I posted three years ago. Ripped from the 2017 reissue remastered by Paul Mahern of the Zero Boys.
It's been almost 13 years since I last posted anything by this band. Which is a shame because these guys deserve to be heard. One of these days I may have to splurge for their out of print '83 debut LP "EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEMS". Or wait for someone to reissue it.
