AKA - Red Therapy EP (1980)

 

Quirky Vancouver No Wave/Art punk. Another one of those records I've seen kicking around local shops for years. Bio and family tree stolen from The Bloodied But Unbowed website.

"AKA formed in late '78 or early '79 and lasted until early 1981. Fronted by singer/saxophonist Dennis Mills, they released the Red Therapy 12-inch EP in 1980, and played in Seattle and San Francisco. In 1981, core bandmembers formed Rhythm Mission, who existed until 1989; their career overlapped with the Jazzmanian Devils, featuring Mills and company supporting various guest vocalists (including Vanessa Richards of Bolero Lava, and Madeline Morris of Moev and Family Plot)."

BLOODY HAMMER - Apathy Is Bliss EP (2010)

Now back to the Houston Bloody Hammer. You know, the one that dropped that sick EP "When In Rome" back in 2011? Here's the debut 7" and yeah, it also rips!

BLOODY HAMMER - Pogo Rock tape (2010)

 

Since I just posted their LP, may as well put up the demo since it's their only other release. Streetkids is the only one they didn't re-record for the album. It's also happens to be my favourite song of theirs.

BLOODY HAMMER - S/T LP (2012)

 

Street punk from Melbourne who's members also played in KRÖMOSOM and ENZYME among others. I played this record for the first time in many years last week and forgot just how good it was.

NIET - Srečna Mladina CD (2015)

 

Essential Yugo hardcore punk from what is now Slovenia. Originally released on cassette in 1984 with just a small pressing of 200 copies, but was dubbed many times over due to the band's popularity. It was finally issued on vinyl three decades later with bonus tracks recorded shortly after the tape came out. This rip was taken from the CD version that includes two more songs not on the LP. I believe these were the final recordings with their first singer and founding member Primož Habič, who died in 1991.

CORRUPTION - Infest Of Rage tape (1986)

 

California crossover that's leans more towards the hardcore side than the metal. This ripper was ripped from 2019 cassette reissue.
