LOOSE NUKES - It's...Loose Nukes EP (2019)

 

One of the best demos from the latter half of the last decade. With a resume of past and present bands like BLOOD PRESSURE, DIRECT CONTROL, WHITE STAINS, DARK THOUGHTS, MACHINE GUNSICKOIDS (and MANY more), would you expect anything less?

DOGGY STYLE - Work As One EP (1985)

 

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.

REJECTORS / THE ACCUSED - Split LP (1983)

 
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.
