HATED YOUTH / ROACH MOTEL - Split LP (2002)

Double dose of 80's Florida hardcore. The Hated Youth side was from a then unreleased LP recorded in 1984. Shame it wasn't released back in the day along with the Hardcore Rules sessions. If it was they'd probably be regarded as HC legends along with your other favourite bands from that era. On the flip side of this split you get a decent sounding live performance by Roach Motel from '83.

BONUS BOYS - S/T 7" (1979)

This is another one of those 7"s I've flipped through the bins in the local shops for years but never gave a second glance until recently. Turns out these guys were an early Vancouver new wave/power pop band and not some new hipster act from Brooklyn or something.

VA - København I Ruiner 2xEP (2003)

This double 7" comp is a great snapshot of the early 00's hardcore punk scene in Copenhagen. All killer no filler here!

SUBCULTURE - I Heard A Scream LP (1985)

Holy smokes, this album rips! Until it was recently reissued, I'd never heard this North Carolina band before (except for their song "Sadness" off the Tim Yohannan comp). Some of you may recognize the singer from his later band, Double Negative. Don't sleep on this like I did all these years!

CAT'S GAME - File 13 tape (1992)

It's been six years since I last posted anything by this band (which was the 'Home Sweet Home' 7" BTW). I came across this tape last week at Red Cat Records. They did have two copies so the other might still be there if anyone wants it, just sayin'. Track 7 'Surfista' also appeared on the Wade Free Vancouver comp.

REPROBATES - Demo tape (2007)

Raw HC from Toronto featuring future and former members of Sick Charade, Hassler, Unfun, and more I'm sure. Dubbed on an old 13 Engines cassette just to give it that extra shitty demo quality sound.
