This week's post comes to us from Kamloops, the same town that brought us Inner Anger and Sineater. I think these guys were into 7 Seconds, but I could be wrong. They also put out a demo tape and an LP, which you know I'll post on here if I ever come across 'em.

Y'all are familiar with the 1983 Brazilian HC comp 'SUB', right? Well here's the bonus record that came with the 2015 reissue. It's a lost tape of either demos or out-takes, I'm not sure exactly which since the liner notes are in Portuguese. Still sounds just as raw the songs that did make the cut in my opinion.
1. RATOS DE PORÃO - Não, Não 2. RATOS DE PORÃO - Vida Ruim
3. RATOS DE PORÃO - Poluição Atômica
4. CÓLERA - X.O.T.
5. CÓLERA - Bloqueio Mental
6. CÓLERA - Quanto Vale A Liberdade?
7. PSYKÓZE - Terceira Guerra 8. PSYKÓZE - Buracos Suburbanos 9. PSYKÓZE - Fim Do Mundo 10. FOGO CRUZADO - Desemprego
11. FOGO CRUZADO - União Entre Punk's
12. FOGO CRUZADO - Delinquentes 13. RATOS DE PORÃO - Punk's Venham Lutar 14. RATOS DE PORÃO - Realidades Da Guerra 15. RATOS DE PORÃO - A Bomba
I only discovered this Finnish band a few months back through the excellent DegenErik blog. I dug this record so much I just had to have my own copy. Luckily I was able to find one online in great shape for a reasonable price. From what I can gather they only put out this one 7", which has never been reissued. If you like classic Finnish HC, then this'll be right up your alley.
Mighty Mighty Bosstones frontman Dicky Barrett's first band. No ska punk here, just straight up early 80's Boston hardcore. Recorded in 1983 but for whatever reason didn't get released until '89. Too bad Dicky didn't do any more stuff like this because his voice was made for this type of shit. Ripped from the CD reissue with added volume.

Another one of those bands I've heard of but never actually heard until recently. Originally from Arcata, California these guys moved around to a bunch of different cities until finally settling down in Vegas (yes, they're still around!). Clearly they were big D.O.A. fans because not only did they cover New Wave Sucks, they also got Joey Shithead to produce 'Apartheid'. Since the cover of this 12" has INCLUDES BONUS 9-SONG 7" EP "SCARY ACTION" stamped on it, I'm throwing that on here too. Merry Xmas!

Great compilation chock full of lesser known and underrated bands from around the world. Put out by the same label that released all those Killed By Death comps. Even thought I've owned this since the early 00's, it's only in recently that I've grown to truly appreciate foreign HC. I really wish I hadn't waited so long to discover the back catalog of bands like Lama and Colera, but it's not like I could find their records in the local shops anyways. This originally came out on vinyl but I ripped this from the CD version, also known as the "Yuppie Edition".
Stoked to finally own this long out-of-print slab of early Icelandic punk. I posted a Killed By Death comp that featured a couple songs from it two years ago. As I mentioned in that post, I discovered these guys when I saw them live in Reykjavik back in May 2013. The pics below was taken at that gig by yours truly. This 7" was never released with a cover, just one of those thin paper sleeves. So yeah, it's got some scuffs but I cleaned it up the best I could. Considering the band is still around, I'm a bit shocked it's never been reissued.
