THE SCAM - Sic World CD (2011)
Dark 'n' dirty hardcore from New Hampshire. This band should be the first thing you think of when it comes to "horror-punk" and not some wannabe Misfits bullshit. On this disc you get their 1986 EP "Everything Ends In Rot", their then-unreleased "Sic World" album from '87 as well as demos, live and comp tracks.

VA - Let's Start A Riot...Vol. 1...In Holland! EP (19??)
Next up we got a sick-ass 7" sampler bursting at the seams with 80's hardcore punk from the land of wooden shoes and windmills. I've posted Pure Hate and Amsterdamned here before if you wanna hear more of their sheeeit. Volume 2 is a double EP of Swedish HC punk that also looks worth getting a hold of.

ÄNI(X)VÄX - Schock Und Drama LP (2021)
Found these Krauts through the URBAN DECLINE Volume 3 mixtape. They put out a live-demo tape in '84 and appeared on a ton of comps, so I guess this LP is somewhat of a "greatest hits".

NINTH CONFIGURATION - Vegas tape (1990)
Bought this tape for $5 at a little shop on Vancouver Island last month. Never heard them before but I was familiar with the name and knew they were from Calgary. This was their second and final release before half the band went on to play in FIELD DAY.

GAS - 1982-1986 LP (2008)
Japanese punk I first heard on "The Punx" compilation. This was on my Discogs wantlist for a long time until I snagged it for $10 off a friend who was getting rid of a bunch of records back in December.

EXTASIS - Discordia LP (2018)
Extasis formed in 1980 just outside of Valencia Spain. These songs were recorded in 1986 but for whatever reason would not be unleashed to the world for another 30 years. Maybe because it was too punk sounding compared to their 1985 synth-pop EP?

VA - Germany Punk Compilation tape (????)
Mixtape of 80's Deutschpunk I got free in an online order a few years back. I gotta be honest, when it comes to international punk the stuff from Germany just doesn't quite grab me the way bands from Finland, Italy, Japan or Poland do. Now I'm not saying German punk sucks by any means, it's just to me a lot of it is (as the kids say) MID. Like it's missing something, I dunno. Of course there's many exceptions, some of them on this comp right here. What do you think, am I talking out of my ass?
