NO IDOLS - S/T CD (2005)

 

Not be confused with the current Washington DC band, these guys were from Syracuse NY and played a more modern style of hardcore. Tracks 1-5 are from their 2005 self-titled 7", 6-8 are demos.

SPAZM 151 - S/T LP (2001)

 

Straight ahead no BS HC from Dallas, Texas. The album art was done by none other than the late great Randy "Biscuit" Turner of BIG BOYS fame. They close out this record with some decent covers by THE OFFENDERS and JERRY'S KIDS in case you need another reason enough to check it out.

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT - S/T LP (2006)

 

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?

MOUTHGUARD - House Of Stoush CD (2004)

 Aussie street punk from twenty years ago.

THE CONTROL - S/T EP (2000)

 

Screamy (but not screamo, let's make that clear!) Hardcore from Buffalo, NY. Remember when this sound was all the rage in the early 00's? Crazy to think this came out a quarter century ago. I bought this 10" on a whim last fall because it was cheap. No regerts.

TERMINAL STATE - Some Recorded Shit CD (2006)

 

Almost complete discography CD-R which I'm guessing was put together in 2006 since it doesn't include their 2007 "Sick" EP.

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.

VA - Toronto City Omnibus LP (2003)

A brief snapshot of the scene in T-Dot twenty years ago. Obvious standouts for me are CAREER SUICIDE, HAYMAKER and FUCKED UP.
