WEBSTORE UPDATE: Lumpy and the Dumpers, Casanovas in Heat, Teengenerate, and MORE!

These just missed Friday's update, but are in the webstore now ...

Click the title to go directly to the release in the store

TEENGENERATE "Get More Action: The LOST Egg Studio Sessions" LP (Crypt)
Yasss.... the LONG-LOST May 1994 Egg Studios (Seattle) Crypt album sessions - all hopped-up, remixed etc - FINALLY available after having disappeared for 19 years! This LP offers 17 originals in a gatefold beaut with liner notes by New Bomb Turk Eric Davidson.

DEATH "For the Whole World to See" LP (Drag City)
Classic proto-punk from 1970s Detroit. Raw with little polish, the record showcases the organic power relationships within the trio of brothers. The HACKNEY’s were first influenced by soul and funk music but it all changed when they saw Iggy and the Stooges. Inspired by The Who, Alice Cooper & Led Zeppelin; the brothers finally see their first full length release, remastered and ready for the world to hear.”

CASANOVAS IN HEAT "Belvidere b/w Destiny St." 7" (Katorga Works)
Boston's Casanovas In Heat plays melodic punk in the vein of late 70s Boston punk, as well as a smattering of influences ranging from the Killed By Death and Power Pearls comps, as well as the Nerves, the Orbits, and Generation X. This single is a tremendous step forward for this band, as they contribute what are by far their best songs to-date.

LUMPY & THE DUMPERS "Gnats In The Pisser" 7" (Total Punk)
St. Louis's kings of the sewer are bubbling back up to the surface with two more tracks of gnarly scuzz punk. Blown out and covered in slime, Lumpy gnashes his way through these two tracks about ghouls, gnats, piss, and bad breath.

MANATEEES "Seek Help" 7" (Total Punk)
Memphis's Manateees are back with two songs about hating your guts. Years of throwing empty beer cans in the water, and whacking them with boat blades has left these cuddly sea mammals with a bad disposition. Blistering, evil, and 100% TOTAL PUNK!

BADDAT FOR TRUBBEL "Inte Varit Sü Tuff" 7" (Total Punk)
Total Punk finally makes the skip across the Atlantic, and as far as I’m concerned we knocked this one out of the park. International superstars Baddat For Trubbel send us two of their best tracks yet. Swedish sung rhythm driven punk rock that lands somewhere between Bloodstains across Sweden and an amphetamine crazed Dr. Feelgood. Completely infectious, judging by the rest of their recorded output, not long for this world, and 100% TOTAL PUNK!

VIDEO "(Join The) Hate Wave" 7" (Total Punk)
It's been a long and arduous road getting this one out. I think the pressing plant was scared to unleash this much negativity too close to Black Friday. IT's finally here though and ready for you to consume, so knock over that baby carriage, push that old lady out of your way and pick this here record up before they are all gone. Video has long been a favorite around Total Punk HQ. Their debut LP was one of my favorite punk records of the last few years, and I've wanted to do a Total Punk / Video collaboration ever since. Well here we are two years later and dreams are becoming reality. ”Hate Wave” is negativity at its best. A slow burner with a wicked hot solo. TV Smith meets TV’s Daniel. And the B-Side "Captivity" ain't no slouch either. It'll get you banging on those prison walls every time. Do you have what it takes to join the Hate Wave? 100% GRADE A TOTAL PUNK!

NEW and IMPROVED Grave Mistake Webstore is up now! Plus a full WEBSTORE UPDATE!

GRAVE MISTAKE RECORDS / MAILORDER
Webstore Update - 03.21.14

The NEW Grave Mistake Webstore is up NOW!

Yesterday marked the first official day of Spring for 2014, so today is a very fitting day to be bringing you this update. I am extremely excited to announce that the brand new (and highly improved) GRAVE MISTAKE RECORDS WEBSTORE is officially up and running! I have been talking about doing this since last year, and working hard for the past few months getting everything ready and prepping for the jump from my old store.  Today I can proudly say that all that work has paid off, and I hope you feel that way too.

You'll be able to spot the obvious differences and thankfully the new shop is much much faster, runs a lot smoother, and hopefully you will find it much easier to browse the full catalog and place your order. I've tried to set the format/category list up to make things as convenient as possible, and hopefully I will find the time to do a bit more specific organizing and catagorization in the coming months.  With the exception of the "sale" stuff (and that might come back at some point), almost everything from the old store is still available so not much has changed on the selection front.  Take a look and let me know what you think!

The one major change all of you previous Grave Mistake customers should be aware of is that your passwords and accounts for the OLD store will not work with this one (sorry about that inconvenience).  BUT if you wish to set up a new account you can do so HERE before you begin browsing (it should only take a quick minute of your time). Or, if you prefer not doing that, you can actually now just checkout as a "guest" without an account! I've also set it so using a Credit Card should be much easier as well and of course, Paypal is always an option!

I've put a couple of helpful links including an overview and an FAQ for the new store in the right side menu of the shop if you were curious.  So head on over and check it out, and if you have any questions just drop me an email and I'll get it sorted out.

Now that that is out of the way, let's talk records!  I realized that it's been exactly a month since the last email update, and there's been a TON of great stuff coming into the store so let's catch up …

WHAT'S NEW FOR MARCH 2014:
http://store.gravemistakerecords.com/collections/all

 

Some of the "new" stuff in this list has now been circulating for a bit, so let's start with the brand new hits first and go from there. Finally was able to get my hands on a few copies of the awesome debut 7" from Boston's PEACEBREAKERS - after a few delays, this slab has finally made the rounds in a tangible format so grab it while you can b/c there are only 500 floating around!  Classic Boston core sound, so it's really a no brainer.  Another highly anticipated 7", the debut EP from WARTHOG, has also found it's way into the distro; stoked to see them play here in Richmond tomorrow.  I also was able to grab the latest archival hit from the one and only Dischord Records, that being the SOA "First Demo" 7" - a classic band who needs no introduction!

Speaking of reissues, Southern Lord hit us with two monsters this past month which come in the form of reissues from BL'AST and THE OFFENDERS.  The BL'AST is an insane triple LP reissue of their "The Power of Expression" LP; they went all out with this thing - 3 LPs worth of alternate mixes and versions and a 28 page booklet - and while you might to yourself "isn't this a bit overkill?" ... hell no!  It rules! Also note that it's priced very affordably for what it is, so you get; the best um, "BL'AST for your buck" if you will … I've seen single LP (both new and reissues) with minimal liner notes and packaging go for over $20 new, so considering new LP and reissue pricing in recent years, I will argue that this release clearly is for everyone and not simplly just the diehards!  And of course, we also have a great double LP reissue from TX's legends THE OFFENDERS!  Both of these LPs are classics and should be in any punk's collection - and SL has gone all out with this one as well so this reissue also comes highly recommended as well.

Back to the new release selections - picked up the new LP from Italy's GIUDA; grabbed a few of the latest from Distort Reality including THE CORPSE 7", ATTACK SS / FRENZY split 7", and 2nd EP from Florida's ECTOPLASM; picked up the latest 10" from PDX's BELLICOSE MINDS  along with some additional new A-389 hits from HAYMAKER and INTEGRITY; nabbed the first two LP releases from the new Standards label out of San Diego area which are the debut 12" from ADULT CRASH and the final 12" from WACO FUCK; picked up the newest MAXIMUMROCKNROLL Compilation - a double LP worth of killer international punk and hardcore!; Picked up a few copies of the debut 7" from Texas's BREAKOUT, newest single from Oakland RNR badasses BAD COYOTES, a few copies of the RASH demo, new 12" from Olympia's VEXX, latest EP from Boston PV ragers DRAIZE, and some new reissues from the always consistent Ugly Pop Records which come in the form of the THOR'S HAMMER LP and BENT WIND LP.  Also got a bunch of fanclub reissues ranging from US punk and HC staples to a bit more obscure KBD hits - it's all in the list below so check it out!

Finally, got a stack of restocks back in my hands, one of which being the incredible LP reissue from THE ABUSED! That one sold out very fast on the first round so it's good have it back on the shelves. Also picked up the latest press of the BREAKDOWN "Runnin Scared" 12" reissue, and a ton of other Painkiller releases from HOUNDS OF HATE, VIOLENT REACTION, SCAPEGOAT, VIOLENT FUTURE, PRISONER ABUSE and more! Restocked on the awesome LA MISMA 7" along with their demo tape and MURDERER tape, and repress of the first CRAZY SPIRIT 7", all courtesy Toxic State.  The full restock list is also below, so give it a read and see what you missed out on last time.

That's all for now, thanks for sticking through this update with me, and check out the new webstore!

NEW IN THE WEBSTORE FOR MARCH 2014:

PEACEBREAKERS "Everyday Battle" 7" (RNR DISGRACE)
Raging debut 7" from this Boston group - their demo was great and this release is even better. Pretty much everything you would want from a Boston Hardcore band circa 2014; tough as nails but still anthemic as can be. Obvious comparisons to "CHOKE-FECTA" aka NEGATIVE FX / LAST RIGHTS / SLAPSHOT, definitely weighing more on the uptempo fist-pumpers than a high speed hyper assault. Featuring members of Boston Strangler, Waste Management, and a bunch of other great bands, you can't go wrong with this EP. And of course, it's limited to 500.

WARTHOG "Exterminate Me" 7" (KATORGA WORKS)
NYC's Warthog follows up their highly acclaimed demo tape with their first of two EPs (the second is to be released on the great Iron Lung Records) culled from the same recording session. Exterminate Me finds the band developing their beefy hardcore punk in the vein of 80s USHC (a la Poison Idea) and 90s Clevocore by implementing newer elements, such as that of 90s Japanese hardcore. Comes with a 13.75" x 13.75" poster. Artwork by Alexander Heir.

SOA "First Demo 12/29/80" 7" (DISCHORD)
Henry Garfield formed State of Alert (S.O.A) in October of 1980 with guitarist Michael Hampton, bassist Wendel Blow, and drummer Simon Jacobsen. The band released 13 songs through Dischord — three on the Flex Your Head compilation record and ten on the No Policy EP, which was Dischord's second-ever release — and performed a total of nine shows before calling it quits in July of 1981. First Demo 12/29/80 collects the eight songs that S.O.A recorded with Skip Groff during their first-ever recording session. Two of the tracks ("Disease" and "Stepping Stone Party") were released on Flex Your Head and "Gonna Have to Fight" was included on No Policy. The rest are unreleased versions. Seven months after this recording session, Garfield left Washington, DC and his last name behind, relocating to Los Angeles to become Henry Rollins, lead singer of Black Flag. Hampton, Blow, and Jacobsen would go on to perform in groups like The Faith, Embrace and Iron Cross. The record is pressed on red-colored vinyl.

OFFENDERS "WE MUST REBEL / ENDLESS STRUGGLE" 2xLP (SOUTHERN LORD)
The Offenders were formed in 1978 in Killeen, Texas relocated to Austin in 1980 and became known worldwide as one of the premiere hardcore bands from Texas. Alongside their peers: D.R.I., M.D.C. the Offenders completely ruled the 80s HC scene during the infamous Reagan-era. Southern Lord is honored to present a collection of all their recordings on vinyl. Gatefold jacket with the original covers faithfully replicated.

BL'AST "THE EXPRESSION OF POWER" 3xLP (SOUTHERN LORD)
Santa Cruz, CA hardcore legend: Bl’ast! recorded their debut several times before finally emerging from the studio with their cult classic masterpiece: “ The Power of Expression”. . For the first time ever an alternate version (the Track sessions) of this album is officially available.  Also included is a 28 page booklet with amazing Bl’ast! photos from the mid-80s. All tracks (re)mastered by Brad Boatright. ***Lp version contains a exclusive unreleased demo. TRIPLE LP SET!*** 

GIUDA "LET'S DO IT AGAIN" LP (TKO)
Hot on the heels of last year's TKO reissue of their debut "Racey Roller" LP, international underground rock sensations GIUDA ARE BACK with their new album, "Let's Do It Again!" "Let's Do It Again" is an exciting progression for GIUDA featuring more complicated arrangements, more ambitious songwriting and an even bigger sound, while still retaining all the pure fun and infectious Glam hooks of their debut album. The handclaps may have given way to more foot-stomps, but "Let's Do It Again" is still a raucous, wild party of an album, in true GIUDA fashion. Check out "Let's Do It Again" to find out why GIUDA are swiftly gaining the reputation as Europe's most exciting Rock n' Roll band!!

BREAKOUT "RAZOR WIRE" 7" (ON HIGH)
Excellent hardcore punk from Austin, TX featuring members of BOMBER and CREAMERS. listen to a few songs here: http://breakoutaus.bandcamp.com/

CORPSE, THE "S/T" 7" (DISTORT REALITY)
Ripping hardcore punk from Portland!

ATTACK SS / FRENZY - SPLIT 7" (DISTORT REALITY)
"Brand new split 7" from these two noise punk bands. Attack SS are more in the Confuse Contempt for Authority mode; in other words you don't the melodic, Swankys-inspired bass lines that a lot of bands go for; instead, this is all about simple, raging, noisy punk, and the energy level is off the charts... maybe it's kind of comparable to early Zyanose? As for Frenzy, they're from Portland I think and they have a faster, more jagged sound. It's kind of a mess in some ways, with all kinds of crazy tempo changes and some noisy guitar solos, but it's super energetic. Throw in some sick artwork and you have an all-around solid noise punk release." - sorrystaterecords.com

ECTOPLASM "S/T (2ND)" 7" (DISTORT REALITY)
Second EP from these raging hardcore punks from Gainesville along the lines of Crude SS, Varukers, Kaaos and UK82 bands. Some mid-tempo pounders and some awesome fast songs. Distorted everything.

CRAZY SPIRIT "S/T" 7" (TOXIC STATE)
"Another much-needed repress from Toxic State! In light of what they've become, it's almost kind of amazing that Crazy Spirit ever sounded like this. I've personally spent the most time with the demo, the LP, and the I'm Dead 7" and I kind of gave short shrift to this EP, but it's a total ripper and completely different from their other releases. This is definitely the clearest and most bottom-heavy recording the band ever got. Compared to some of their other stuff they almost sound straightforward here, but those menacing vocals and off-kilter riffs ensure that you know you're listening to a Crazy Spirit. This is really one of my favorite bands of the past decade, and you need everything they've released, so if you don't have this you know what to do... " - sorrystaterecords.com

BELLICOSE MINDS "THE BUZZ OR HOWL SESSIONS" 10" (A389)
Portland's THE BELLICOSE MINDS classic cassette-only debut completely remastered and available on vinyl for the first time ever.  Perfectly dark, cynical and catchy goth/darkwave infused postpunk.

VEXX "S/T" LP (GRAZER)
Hailing from Olympia, Washington, VEXX are a true anomaly. These 8 tracks combine unhinged, Penelope Houston-style vocals with the meth-driven guitar solos of the ZERO BOYS and highly syncopated rhythms to devastating impact.  Songs like “Falling Down” and “Spirit/Contraint” blaze past with their breakneck tempos, yet contain enough pop sensibility to yield repeated plays.  While VEXX sound more small-town Midwest than gloomy Northwest, they still pay occasional homage to the ominous sounds of the WIPERS on standout track “Ocean Shores” – showing they understand their geographical antecedents better than most. Elsewhere, “Stress” and “Roky, Take me Home” recall the thuggish menace of Hermosa Beach groups, with vocals that alternate between a grumble and a roar.

ADULT CRASH "UNFINISHED BUSINESS" 12" (STANDARDS)
On Unfinished Business, their debut 12” EP, Adult Crash plays a powerful brand of hardcore, with the dramatic, rhythmic build-ups of Bl’ast!, the concrete-thick guitar work of SS Decontrol, the blunt vocal delivery of early Agnostic Front, and some left-of-center thrash flourishes a’la Septic Death. Far more than just a Frankenstein monster of well-tread influences, Adult Crash has a seamless, naturally flowing sound that can only come from veterans who have truly internalized the craft of hardcore songwriting. Featuring a cadre of San Diego/Chula Vista HC veterans, including Tim Gonzalez of Amenity and House of Suffering, Adult Crash has the credentials and musicianship to convincingly deliver their unique sonic onslaught in spades. Mandatory listening for all true believers in the HC arts.

WACO FUCK "ELIMINATE CULTURE" 12" (STANDARDS)
Final 12” EP from North County San Diego’s ferocious HC stalwarts Waco Fuck. Distilling the Totalitar and Napalm Death obsessed ultracore of their earlier output into a more powerful, midpaced assault, Eliminate Culture weaves deftly through Scandinavian-derived thrashings, violent dirges, infectious, Rudimentary Peni style riffing, and the hard hitting SoCal traditions of Battalion of Saints and the like. If you have an ear for forward thinking, well played hardcore bound by neither cliché nor pretension, Eliminate Culture is for you.

SEE YOU IN HELL "JED" LP (SPHC)
Czech hardcore heroes See You in Hell return with their third LP in their 14 year career, and like all great bands, they just continue to get better! Jed LP is the best See You in Hell material yet as they continue to master the “Burning Spirits” Japanese hardcore style on their own terms, with their own subtle and unique twists. Bringing a distinctly Czech//eastern European sensibility to the Japanese hardcore style, they are a band that, like most great punk bands, at once sounds familiar yet instantly recognizable. This small-run American pressing was done in conjunction with their USA west coast tour with Lotus Fucker.

THOR'S HAMMER "IF YOU KNEW: ICELANDIC PUNK & BEAT '65-67" LP (UGLY POP)
Best known to garage enthusiasts for "My Life", their stellar contribution to the second Nuggets box, Thor's Hammer was also responsible for an incredibly scarce 1966 EP that is easily among the toughest records of the era. Ugly Pop now presents this long-overdue LP, compiling 14 mid '60s nuggets-- the above mentioned monsters included-- from these Icelandic garage legends, who seasoned their northern beat with some of the rawest, wildest fuzzpunk heard anywhere!  Fully authorized high quality pressing in printed inner sleeve, licensed from SENA (Iceland)

BENT WIND "SUSSEX" LP (UGLY POP)
The Holy Grail of Canadian rock, this raw, murky slab of heavy psych was released by local indie label Trend in autumn 1970 and immediately sank without a trace. Over the decades, however, obsessive fans and collectors of the era's unsung greats gradually came to recognize the obscure Toronto band's genius, the now impossible-to-find original LP eventually trading hands for $5000+ plus in the rare vinyl market. After years of bootlegs, compact discs and pricey European pressings, this mythical Canadian LP is finally available at home in its intended format for the first time in 44 years.  Fully authorized high quality pressing in deluxe jacket with printed inner sleeve and new liner notes, licensed direct from Marty Roth.

DRAIZE "S/T" 7" (BAD TEETH)
These Boston powerviolence pros have returned with new material at last! This 6 song slab will seriously put you right back in your fucking place. One of the finest modern hardcore bands blast through approximately 10 minutes of pure aggression with the sweetest punk edge. You thought you had seen the last of Draize...you were incorrect. A blistering follow-up to their impressive full-length from a few years back!  Record comes packaged in gorgeous hand-screened covers along with a cardstock poster insert.

BAD COYOTES "IT'S TIME FOR SEX POSITIONS WITH …" 7" (RESSURECTION)
What do Bad Coyotes sound like? Imagine a bunch of chainsaws playing a garage punk version of Sex Pistols songs and you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect. It's heavy, energetic, and way too British sounding to be from Oakland (but in a good way). The record starts with a couple of unrelentingly vigorous garage punk jammers, fueled by buzzing guitars, a pounding rhythm section, and sing-a-long vocals. Side B1 sounds like a long-lost track from the UK Misfits (No, there was never a UK Misfits), and the last track is an awesome cover of one of the greatest punk songs of all time. This record is would make a great gift for that garage punker that needs just a bit more pogo in their life.

LUNCH "JOHNNY PINEAPPLE" 7" (RESSURECTION)
Hot on the heels of "Quinn Touched The Sun", this 7" contains 4 of Quinn's most manic jems, newly remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege Engineering. Lunch's infectious brand of upbeat post/garage punk takes listener's from fast-paced pop anthems to trudging, reverberated doggerel, and nowhere in between. It's like The Gun Club, Wire, UK Decay, and whatever garbage garage punk punk your into at the moment got smashed into the shape of a 7". The is guaranteed to stay or your turntable for a while (or at least until you throw it out the window).

INTEGRITY "BLACK HEKSEN RISE" 7" (A389)
Originally released in Europe on various formats over the past few years, we're thrilled to present INTEGRITY's majestic masterpiece 'Black Heksen Rise', in a permanent / easy to obtain edition.  Contains a cover of 'No Power' by Zouo which was previously not included in any prior editions.

HAYMAKER "LET THEM ROT" 7" (A389)
Legendary Canadian hardcore terrors HAYMAKER return with their first new recordings in almost ten years.  Raw furious and REAL hardcore with no punches pulled.  Members of Left For Dead/Pick Your Side/Chokehold.  Limited edition pressing of 1000 copies.

ACOUSMA "S/T" 7" (HIGH FASHION INDUSTRIES)
After a strong demo, here's the debut 7" from this Canadian band. Gnarly, noisy, fast hardcore with vocals that are both snotty and screamy. On this recording at least, they remind me quite a bit of Chicago's Raw Nerve. Like RN, they have this subtle but effective way of sounding simultaneously like a bunch of different genres, but like no one but themselves at the same time. Also like RN, this stuff is hard, heavy, but also mega-catchy and memorable in just about every way. Throw in some extremely eye-catching packaging and you have a record that people are bound to be talking about very soon.

RASH - DEMO TAPE (HIGH FASHION INDUSTRIES)
Nothing is good, nothing is beautiful. RASH is a new band from Chicago consisting of ex members of other bands you probably don’t care about. Five songs of noisy, ugly hardcore or punk. It’s whatever you want it to be and it doesn’t disappoint.

GLUEBAG "Confused" LP (FRAMEWORK)
Hailing from the deep and storied woods of Western Massachusetts, Gluebag deliver an exceptional collection of luring, blown out sounds with their ‘Confused' LP. Featuring members of SQRM, World Domination, and Crystalline Roses, this 3 piece blends the songwriting of late-60s rock with the urgency of American hardcore punk to create a sound that is far from commonplace in the current underground scene. Originally recorded in 2008 and distributed on a small number of cassette tapes by the band, we're thrilled to celebrate Gluebag's recent return from dormancy with the release of 'Confused' in it's original intended form on vinyl. Fans of Neil Young, Dead Moon, and true punk will rejoice at the existence of Gluebag, and at the absorbing songs found within ‘Confused’. All copies on black vinyl with download code.

RHYTHM OF CRUELTY "In Time" 7" (SELF RELEASED)
New Post Punk / Goth from Edmonton Canada … "The latest EP from Edmonton band, Rhythm of Cruelty, exudes a strong blend of Lo-Fi sound and gothic appeal. It’s glum from start to finish yet still exciting. Not all bands can get the whole “dark atmosphere” thing down without coming off pretentious or derivative.  There is a real strong image of British punk bands that immediately come mind. Like Joy Division, the feel is a dark one twined with a string of blissful melody throughout. Yet, it posses a modern feel, a definite product of what is possible electronically in music in this age."

HARPER SS "S/T" 7" (CRUDE CITY)
Edmonton one man punk assault taking cues from UK82 punk and american hardcore. Stripped down and raw, this is the first release from this No Problem punk and Crude City records.

BEN DISASTER "Close My Eyes" 7" (CRUDE CITY)
New single from this Canadian punk's solo project. Maybe it's just because this is a Canadian punk dude's solo project, but I'm getting a real Young Governor / Marvelous Darlings vibe off of this. It's pretty much classic power pop in the kind of Nick Lowe / Elvis Costello / Stiff Records tradition, without the energy of, say, the Exploding Hearts, but with a lot of big hooks. Solid all around

UNKNOWN TO GOD "UNNAMED TERRORIST GROUP" 7" (HARDCORE VICTIM)
New on Hardcore Victim with distribution by Havoc, Uknown to God play aw blazing hardcore with rasping desperate vocals. There is a heavy influence of Japanese hardcore here, and many people may remember this band from their split with Deathcage.

ROCK BOTTOM AND THE SPYS "Rich Girl" 7" (FANCLUB)
Amazingly great 3 song Synth Punk EP from 1981 by this California band. The originals are notoriously rare, and the 2002 reissue from breakmyface.com is even really tough to find these days. This is a second pressing of the 2002 reissue on breakmyface.com. The same pressing plates were used for this release. These were actually pressed around 2008 but sat in storage until mid 2013. Although no record label is listed, this is an authorized reissue, but it is not done by breakmyface.com.  The packaging is different than on the 2002 or original releases. All copies of this pressing include a shrunk down color photocopy of the limited reissue sleeve pasted to a white cardstock, glue pocket sleeve. It also comes with a xeroxed lyric sheet. Same matrix numbers as the reissue obviously, but this pressing has rubber stamped labels. 500 copies pressed, all hand numbered on the back of the sleeve.

PEER PRESSURE "1979/1980" 7" (FANCLUB)
Unearthed 1979 recordings from this Connecticut band, and like their other 7”, this is a classic piece of KBD punk.  Three more killer tunes from the 1979/1980 era by the same great Connecticut based killed by death band who gave us the famous "sound of the 80's" 7". Cool packaging with two inserts.

WRETCHED / INDIGESTI - Split 7" (FANCLUB)
Fantastic repro 7" of this super rare raging hardcore split single from 1982 from wretched and indigesti. it comes with stamped sleeves, red labels and all three inserts. an original would set you back nearly one thousand dollars. wretched debuted on their 1982 split ep with indigesti. the music the band created was furious and raw, with trashed guitars, shrieked vocals, and barely-holding-on drums. although they originally sang in english, they soon switched to their native italian, finding it better suited to expressing their radical political message. the band took strong anti-war and pro-anarchist stands through their lyrics and imagery.

HITLER SS / TAMPAX - Split 7" (FANCLUB)
Re issue of this Italian cult classic. One of those rare 1979 records that bridges the gap between 77 punk and early 80's hardcore. You know these songs from Killed By Death comps now get a great re pro of the original single without paying horror prices.

THE FREEZE "Rabid Reaction" LP (SCHIZOPHRENIC)
THE FREEZE Rabid Reaction is a crucial early 80s US HC LP from this classic Boston band. This reissue comes with a trippy colour poster!

SACRILEGE "DEMOS 1985" LP (RADIO RAHEEM)
1985 was a transitional time for the hardcore scene in NYC — the original class of '82 bands were either in limbo, had disbanded or were heading into a more crossover metal direction and the Revelation/straight edge scene and second wave of NYHC bands were a year away from fully exploding. Along comes Sacrilege, formed in late '84, and their aim to couple Discharge-inspired sonic fury with a peace punk aesthetic. Bassist Adam Mucci's previous tenure in Agnostic Front gave them a safe pass from skinheads, and along with guitarist Victor Venom, previously in Reagan Youth, they recruited two Virginia Beach transplants and Sacrilege was born. Their confrontational style of spiky hair, Crass stencils on jackets and military fatigues give voice to a totally separate group that longed for a band of their own. They played less than a dozen shows and imploded by late 1985. One can only guess how they would have fared as their sound and style laid the foundation for the parallel Squat Or Rot scene that sprung up during the late 1980's.  Victor would take several Sacrilege songs into his next project, Nausea, the most notable being "Fallout", which became the signature Nausea tune as heard on the Revelation Records' The Way It Is compilation LP. The nine short, sharp cuts from the Don Fury sessions and the six howling, primitive metal workouts from Bolt Studios, both recorded in 1985, bear witness to an overlooked band that provides a missing link to the development of hardcore punk in the rat cage of a big city we know as New York.  Includes 12x24 poster and lyric sheet

CHAOTIC DISCHORD "FUCK RELIGION, FUCK POLITICS, FUCK THE LOT OF YOU" LP (RADIATION)
Chaotic Dischord was formed by roadies of Vice Squad who wanted to take on the sound of bands like Disorder and Chaos UK but ended up creating this record which stands next to those bands in terms of quality and urgency.  "Fuck Religion …" is their debut LP which came out on Riot City Records in 1983.

NUCLEAR AGE - DEMO TAPE
New hardcore band from DC/MD area. http://nuclearage.bandcamp.com/

BLACK FLAG "THE UNHEARD 1983 DEMOS" 7" (FANCLUB()
The three best tracks from the legendary 1983 demo session, the only recording of the band as a 5-piece and catching them at the absolute peak of their powers. Killer.

BLACK FLAG "LICORICE PIZZA AND MORE" 7" (FANCLUB)
There's a pretty cool story behind this 7".  I guess back in Late '81 (early '82?) in order to get ready for the release of "Damaged", Black Flag had about a hundred or so promo 7"s printed with "Thirsty And Miserable" on the A side and "Life Of Pain" on the B side.  Both of the songs were different (out-take) versions of the songs which would appear on the "Damaged" LP. So they took these promos (with no covers) down to Licorice Pizza and asked the people that worked there to hand them out to people who they thought would be interested.  Well, I guess the assholes that worked there didn't think anyone would be interested, so they threw the fucking things away!!  So all but a few copies were destroyed, but lucky for you, and for me, a few years ago, someone came across a copy and decided it would be a good idea for this to be released out to the public.  This bootleg 7" was born out of that idea.  It has the demo versions of both songs that were originally released on the promo 7", and also an old demo recording of a demo version of Spray Paint, with Dez on vocals!!  This thing is pretty amazing and a record that will most likely want to be heard by all Black Flag fans.  Enjoy!!

GERMS, THE "LEXICON DEVIL" 7" (FANCLUB)
"Oh my! What is there to tell you about The Germs that you don’t already know? The intro to No God is taken from one thing that Darby, Pat and I had/have in common: we all love/d Yes. It’s from “Roundabout” the first song on “Fragile”. A fantastic record.  The special guitar sound was acquired through a direct line in to the soundboard since Pat had forgotten to bring with him an amplifier. Some people told me that the new version of Germs without Darby shall be pretty great so it may be worth catching them live if they come around."

MISFITS "COUGH/COOL" 7" (FANCLUB)
"Cough/Cool" is the first single released by the horror punk band the Misfits. It was released in August 1977 on singer Glenn Danzig's label Blank Records.

NIRVANA "AND THE REST - BBC SESSIONS" 7" (FANCLUB)
Unofficial release as a supplement to a 12" 12 track named "Almost Everything - The BBC Sessions;" features three tracks with awesome packaging -  silkscreened on a thick chipboard pocket sleeve!   Tracks: Son Of A Gun, Something In The Way, Polly (New Wave Version)"

NIRVANA "TOTAL FUCKING GODHEAD" 7" (FANCLUB)
Three track fanclub release from the early 90's.  This is the only place to get this version of Lithium, every other boot, vinyl or CD, is sourced from this release.  This is a very early, very important bootleg release that appeared in June 1991, Nirvana even referred to it from the stage during the 8/15/91 & 8/30/92 shows. These are believed to be taken NEVERMIND demos.

NIRVANA "SMELLS LIKE NIRVANA" 7" (FANCLUB)
Four live tracks from London, Nov 1991. Polly (New Wave) / Come on Over (Aneurysm) / Been a Son / Something in the Way

VILETONES "1977 DEMOS" 7" (DISTORTIONS)
Previously unreleased tunes from the legendary Canadian punk band. Contains 'Auschwitz Jerk', 'Wet Dream Girl' and 'Heinrich Himmler'. Comes with picture sleeve and insert. Limited edition of 600 copies on black vinyl.

BARREN GIRLS "HELL HYMNS" 7" (MERGE)
Formed in December of 2011, BARREN GIRLS hail from the tight-knit Raleigh, NC, punk scene. Hell Hymns is a collection of four succinct songs that tackle paranoia, heartbreak and other personal issues through the lens of gritty, rowdy garage rock. CARLA WOLFF (vocals, guitar) wanted to start an all-girl punk group, so she connected with former bandmate ASH VAN EIJK (drums) and friend JENNY WILLIAMS (keyboards), who had never taken up an instrument before. They played together as a trio for three months until FRAN ARAYA joined on bass to complete the line-up. A scorching performance at the Hopscotch Festival in September brought them to the attention of Merge, and with a 4-track and their friend WILLAIM G. EVANS of Aleph Audio, the girls recorded this four-song EP in their cotton mill practice space. “She-Devil” is the longest song they play at almost three minutes, while “Alter Ego,” “Deal With the Devil” and “How Could You” represent the faster raw punk energy people have come to expect from their live performances.

JERK STORE #13 - ZINE
Latest issue of this top-notch Australian zine. Features writings about 1981, a Daylight Robbery tour diary, a bunch of spot-on, incredibly well-written record reviews and a lot of other content for the discerning punk. I love that Alex has really diverse yet demanding tastes, and I think it's safe to say that if you're into what Sorry State does (particularly on the label end of things) this should be one of your must-read zines.

BUSINESS, THE "SATURDAY'S HEROES" LP (DAILY)
One of the finest street-punk albums ever, Business' second album 'Saturday's Heroes' was originally released in 1985 on the Harry May record Company and still sounds as fresh and genuine as the day it was released. Pure anthemic OI! from the glory days of UK working class skinhead culture. This new and long awaited vinyl re-edition also comes with a slightly improved artwork and a printed inner with unseen pictures from the same session as the front cover's one, plus all the lyrics to singalong to. OI!

SECTION 5 "FOR THE LOVE OF OI" LP (DAILY)
Limited to 500 copies. Reissue of the second studio album by magnificent UK punk –oi! band Section 5. First published by Link Records in 1987.  Section 5, alongside other bands as The Crack, Vicious Rumours, Condemned 84 or the long standing The Business, were carrying the banner of the true street punk music and spirit during the second half of the ‘80s after the demise of the first wave of UK oi! bands.  Features 12 brilliant old-school punk-oi! cuts full of melody as well as rawness. Includes classics such as “Every Saturday”, “For The Love Of Oi!”, “Section 5” or “A Love So Fine” alongside punkish cover versions of Prince Buster´s “Big 5” and the Troggs “Wild Thing.”

DAMNED, THE "AT THE BBC" LP (FANCLUB)
The Damned- At The BBC LP. Seriously if you are into the Damned and haven't heard these BBC sessions you are missing out!  This is a collection of BBC recordings by the always amazing Damned. This LP focuses mostly on songs from Machine Gun Etiquette and the Black Album era with a couple from Phantasmogoria as well. Featuring excellent alternate versions of some of their best loved songs including: Plan 9, Channel 7, Love Song, Liar, Noise Noise Noise, Smash It Up, History Of The World, I Just Can't Be Happy Today, Hit Or Miss, Drinking About My Baby, Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde, There Will Come A Day and The Shadow Of Love.

GERMS, THE "LION'S SHARE" LP (FANCLUB)
The infamous GERMS bootleg LP, rumored having been released by some ex-member of the group. Whether or not this is true (please share your information in the comments section), what’s most remarkable about this LP is that it was not only the first time for the complete “Cruisin’”-session to appear on vinyl; it also has a much better sounding version of the band’s final gig on the flip, compared to the rather crappy sounding one on the Germs Anthology CD.  All five studio tracks captured on “Lion’s Share” are exceptional, but most exceptional is “Not all right”, which is disturbing, kaputt and grandiose.

KIDS, THE "NAUGHTY KIDS" LP (FANCLUB)
Fanclub pressing of the second LP from Belgium's THE KIDS. Comes shrink wrapped on colored vinyl.

MAXIMUMROCKNROLL #371 - APRIL 2014

NEW IN THE WEBSTORE FOR 3/12/14:

GIUDA "LET'S DO IT AGAIN" LP (TKO)
Hot on the heels of last year's TKO reissue of their debut "Racey Roller" LP, international underground rock sensations GIUDA ARE BACK with their new album, "Let's Do It Again!" "Let's Do It Again" is an exciting progression for GIUDA featuring more complicated arrangements, more ambitious songwriting and an even bigger sound, while still retaining all the pure fun and infectious Glam hooks of their debut album. The handclaps may have given way to more foot-stomps, but "Let's Do It Again" is still a raucous, wild party of an album, in true GIUDA fashion. Check out "Let's Do It Again" to find out why GIUDA are swiftly gaining the reputation as Europe's most exciting Rock n' Roll band!!

V/A - MAXIMUMROCKNROLL PRESENTS "SOUND THE ALARMS" 2LP (MAXIMUMROCKNROLL)
Almost 30 years after releasing Welcome to 1984, Maximum Rocknroll is proud to present a new international punk compilation, Sound the Alarms!!  Gathering 32 bands from 14 countries, this comp captures the current sounds of punk from around the world, with MÜLLTÜTE, SILLA ELÉCTRICA, SYNTHETIC ID, TOTAL WAR, NO STATIK, DICTADURA, PERMANENT RUIN, VIVISEKTIO, GIFFORDS TREATMENT, QUESTION, THE FIGHT, LOTUS FUCKER, RUIDOSA INMUNDICIA, ANTI YOU, VERRUGAS, ORDEN MUNDIAL, KUUDES SILMÄ, NUCLEAR SPRING, GUTTER, ENTRE REJAS, ESTAMPIDO, SIETOKYKY, HONDARTZAKO HONDAKINAK, I.R.A., ΠΑΝΔΗMIΑ (PANDEMIA), DHK, KVOTERINGEN, KONTATTO, LEI DO CÃO, CÜLO, MAAILMANLOPPU, and OBEDIENCIA. And of course it comes with a newsprint, magazine-sized insert with a page from each band, including pictures, lyrics, graphics and more!

SACRILEGE "DEMOS 1985" LP (RADIO RAHEEM)
1985 was a transitional time for the hardcore scene in NYC — the original class of '82 bands were either in limbo, had disbanded or were heading into a more crossover metal direction and the Revelation/straight edge scene and second wave of NYHC bands were a year away from fully exploding. Along comes Sacrilege, formed in late '84, and their aim to couple Discharge-inspired sonic fury with a peace punk aesthetic. Bassist Adam Mucci's previous tenure in Agnostic Front gave them a safe pass from skinheads, and along with guitarist Victor Venom, previously in Reagan Youth, they recruited two Virginia Beach transplants and Sacrilege was born. Their confrontational style of spiky hair, Crass stencils on jackets and military fatigues give voice to a totally separate group that longed for a band of their own. They played less than a dozen shows and imploded by late 1985. One can only guess how they would have fared as their sound and style laid the foundation for the parallel Squat Or Rot scene that sprung up during the late 1980's.  Victor would take several Sacrilege songs into his next project, Nausea, the most notable being "Fallout", which became the signature Nausea tune as heard on the Revelation Records' The Way It Is compilation LP. The nine short, sharp cuts from the Don Fury sessions and the six howling, primitive metal workouts from Bolt Studios, both recorded in 1985, bear witness to an overlooked band that provides a missing link to the development of hardcore punk in the rat cage of a big city we know as New York.  Includes 12x24 poster and lyric sheet

CHAOTIC DISCHORD "FUCK RELIGION, FUCK POLITICS, FUCK THE LOT OF YOU" LP (RADIATION)
Chaotic Dischord was formed by roadies of Vice Squad who wanted to take on the sound of bands like Disorder and Chaos UK but ended up creating this record which stands next to those bands in terms of quality and urgency.  "Fuck Religion …" is their debut LP which came out on Riot City Records in 1983.

CRAZY SPIRIT "S/T" 7" (TOXIC STATE)
Another much-needed repress from Toxic State! In light of what they've become, it's almost kind of amazing that Crazy Spirit ever sounded like this. I've personally spent the most time with the demo, the LP, and the I'm Dead 7" and I kind of gave short shrift to this EP, but it's a total ripper and completely different from their other releases. This is definitely the clearest and most bottom-heavy recording the band ever got. Compared to some of their other stuff they almost sound straightforward here, but those menacing vocals and off-kilter riffs ensure that you know you're listening to a Crazy Spirit. This is really one of my favorite bands of the past decade, and you need everything they've released, so if you don't have this you know what to do...

UNKNOWN TO GOD "UNNAMED TERRORIST GROUP" 7" (HARDCORE VICTIM)
New on Hardcore Victim with distribution by Havoc, Unknown to God play aw blazing hardcore with rasping desperate vocals. There is a heavy influence of Japanese hardcore here, and many people may remember this band from their split with Deathcage.

THOR'S HAMMER "IF YOU KNEW: ICELANDIC PUNK & BEAT '65-67" LP (UGLY POP)
Best known to garage enthusiasts for "My Life", their stellar contribution to the second Nuggets box, Thor's Hammer was also responsible for an incredibly scarce 1966 EP that is easily among the toughest records of the era. Ugly Pop now presents this long-overdue LP, compiling 14 mid '60s nuggets-- the above mentioned monsters included-- from these Icelandic garage legends, who seasoned their northern beat with some of the rawest, wildest fuzzpunk heard anywhere!  Fully authorized high quality pressing in printed inner sleeve, licensed from SENA (Iceland)

BENT WIND "SUSSEX" LP (UGLY POP)
The Holy Grail of Canadian rock, this raw, murky slab of heavy psych was released by local indie label Trend in autumn 1970 and immediately sank without a trace. Over the decades, however, obsessive fans and collectors of the era's unsung greats gradually came to recognize the obscure Toronto band's genius, the now impossible-to-find original LP eventually trading hands for $5000+ plus in the rare vinyl market. After years of bootlegs, compact discs and pricey European pressings, this mythical Canadian LP is finally available at home in its intended format for the first time in 44 years.  Fully authorized high quality pressing in deluxe jacket with printed inner sleeve and new liner notes, licensed direct from Marty Roth.

NEW RELEASES in the webstore! HYSTERICS, DRAIZE, VEXX, and MORE!

I've been putting a ton of new stuff in the store over the past few weeks and haven't had a chance to get an update done, so I'm dividing it up between NEW RELEASES and REISSUES!!! Some great stuff in both categories, so here is part 1!

Click the title to go straight to the item in the store!

BELLICOSE MINDS "THE BUZZ OR HOWL SESSIONS" 10" (A389)
Portland's THE BELLICOSE MINDS classic cassette-only debut completely remastered and available on vinyl for the first time ever.  Perfectly dark, cynical and catchy goth/darkwave infused postpunk.

BREAKOUT "RAZOR WIRE" 7" (ON HIGH)
Excellent hardcore punk from Austin, TX featuring ex members of BOMBER and CREAMERS . listen to a few songs here: http://breakoutaus.bandcamp.com/

HYSTERICS "CAN'T I LIVE" 7" (M'LADYS)
NEW HYSTERICS! I know, we're freaking out too. It gets even better; this record is spectacularly brutal. 12 (!) minutes of fury jammed onto a super hi-fi 7" EP, uncompromising and brilliant, it sounds even better on the 500th listen than it does on the first, which is SAYING something. From the opening blast of "Outside In" to the molten lahar of "No Vision", Hysterics throw down with a ferocity not seen since... well, since their debut. All hyperbole spiel aside, comrades, this record is among the very best we've ever had the pleasure of bringing you. IT'S THAT GOOD. THIS IS THE SOUND OF THE NEW BREED - GET INVOLVED AND GET THRASHED.

DRAIZE "S/T" 7" (BAD TEETH)
These Boston powerviolence pros have returned with new material at last! This 6 song slab will seriously put you right back in your fucking place. One of the finest modern hardcore bands blast through approximately 10 minutes of pure aggression with the sweetest punk edge. You thought you had seen the last of Draize...you were incorrect. A blistering follow-up to their impressive full-length from a few years back!  Record comes packaged in gorgeous hand-screened covers along with a cardstock poster insert.

CORPSE, THE "S/T" 7" (DISTORT REALITY)
Ripping hardcore punk from Portland!

ATTACK SS / FRENZY - SPLIT 7" (DISTORT REALITY)
"Brand new split 7" from these two noise punk bands. Attack SS are more in the Confuse Contempt for Authority mode; in other words you don't the melodic, Swankys-inspired bass lines that a lot of bands go for; instead, this is all about simple, raging, noisy punk, and the energy level is off the charts... maybe it's kind of comparable to early Zyanose? As for Frenzy, they're from Portland I think and they have a faster, more jagged sound. It's kind of a mess in some ways, with all kinds of crazy tempo changes and some noisy guitar solos, but it's super energetic. Throw in some sick artwork and you have an all-around solid noise punk release." - sorrystaterecords.com

ECTOPLASM "S/T (2ND)" 7" (DISTORT REALITY)
Second EP from these raging hardcore punks from Gainesville along the lines of Crude SS, Varukers, Kaaos and UK82 bands. Some mid-tempo pounders and some awesome fast songs. Distorted everything.

VEXX "S/T" LP (GRAZER)
Hailing from Olympia, Washington, VEXX are a true anomaly. These 8 tracks combine unhinged, Penelope Houston-style vocals with the meth-driven guitar solos of the ZERO BOYS and highly syncopated rhythms to devastating impact.  Songs like “Falling Down” and “Spirit/Contraint” blaze past with their breakneck tempos, yet contain enough pop sensibility to yield repeated plays.  While VEXX sound more small-town Midwest than gloomy Northwest, they still pay occasional homage to the ominous sounds of the WIPERS on standout track “Ocean Shores” – showing they understand their geographical antecedents better than most. Elsewhere, “Stress” and “Roky, Take me Home” recall the thuggish menace of Hermosa Beach groups, with vocals that alternate between a grumble and a roar.

BARREN GIRLS "HELL HYMNS" 7" (MERGE)
Formed in December of 2011, BARREN GIRLS hail from the tight-knit Raleigh, NC, punk scene. Hell Hymns is a collection of four succinct songs that tackle paranoia, heartbreak and other personal issues through the lens of gritty, rowdy garage rock. CARLA WOLFF (vocals, guitar) wanted to start an all-girl punk group, so she connected with former bandmate ASH VAN EIJK (drums) and friend JENNY WILLIAMS (keyboards), who had never taken up an instrument before. They played together as a trio for three months until FRAN ARAYA joined on bass to complete the line-up. A scorching performance at the Hopscotch Festival in September brought them to the attention of Merge, and with a 4-track and their friend WILLAIM G. EVANS of Aleph Audio, the girls recorded this four-song EP in their cotton mill practice space. “She-Devil” is the longest song they play at almost three minutes, while “Alter Ego,” “Deal With the Devil” and “How Could You” represent the faster raw punk energy people have come to expect from their live performances.

BAD COYOTES "IT'S TIME FOR SEX POSITIONS WITH …" 7" (RESSURECTION)
What do Bad Coyotes sound like? Imagine a bunch of chainsaws playing a garage punk version of Sex Pistols songs and you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect. It's heavy, energetic, and way too British sounding to be from Oakland (but in a good way). The record starts with a couple of unrelentingly vigorous garage punk jammers, fueled by buzzing guitars, a pounding rhythm section, and sing-a-long vocals. Side B1 sounds like a long-lost track from the UK Misfits (No, there was never a UK Misfits), and the last track is an awesome cover of one of the greatest punk songs of all time. This record is would make a great gift for that garage punker that needs just a bit more pogo in their life.

LUNCH "JOHNNY PINEAPPLE" 7" (RESSURECTION)
Hot on the heels of "Quinn Touched The Sun", this 7" contains 4 of Quinn's most manic jems, newly remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege Engineering. Lunch's infectious brand of upbeat post/garage punk takes listener's from fast-paced pop anthems to trudging, reverberated doggerel, and nowhere in between. It's like The Gun Club, Wire, UK Decay, and whatever garbage garage punk punk your into at the moment got smashed into the shape of a 7". The is guaranteed to stay or your turntable for a while (or at least until you throw it out the window).

INTEGRITY "BLACK HEKSEN RISE" 7" (A389)
Originally released in Europe on various formats over the past few years, we're thrilled to present INTEGRITY's majestic masterpiece 'Black Heksen Rise', in a permanent / easy to obtain edition.  Contains a cover of 'No Power' by Zouo which was previously not included in any prior editions.

HAYMAKER "LET THEM ROT" 7" (A389)
Legendary Canadian hardcore terrors HAYMAKER return with their first new recordings in almost ten years.  Raw furious and REAL hardcore with no punches pulled.  Members of Left For Dead/Pick Your Side/Chokehold.  Limited edition pressing of 1000 copies.

ADULT CRASH "UNFINISHED BUSINESS" 12" (STANDARDS)
On Unfinished Business, their debut 12” EP, Adult Crash plays a powerful brand of hardcore, with the dramatic, rhythmic build-ups of Bl’ast!, the concrete-thick guitar work of SS Decontrol, the blunt vocal delivery of early Agnostic Front, and some left-of-center thrash flourishes a’la Septic Death. Far more than just a Frankenstein monster of well-tread influences, Adult Crash has a seamless, naturally flowing sound that can only come from veterans who have truly internalized the craft of hardcore songwriting. Featuring a cadre of San Diego/Chula Vista HC veterans, including Tim Gonzalez of Amenity and House of Suffering, Adult Crash has the credentials and musicianship to convincingly deliver their unique sonic onslaught in spades. Mandatory listening for all true believers in the HC arts.

WACO FUCK "ELIMINATE CULTURE" 12" (STANDARDS)
Final 12” EP from North County San Diego’s ferocious HC stalwarts Waco Fuck. Distilling the Totalitar and Napalm Death obsessed ultracore of their earlier output into a more powerful, midpaced assault, Eliminate Culture weaves deftly through Scandinavian-derived thrashings, violent dirges, infectious, Rudimentary Peni style riffing, and the hard hitting SoCal traditions of Battalion of Saints and the like. If you have an ear for forward thinking, well played hardcore bound by neither cliché nor pretension, Eliminate Culture is for you.

SEE YOU IN HELL "JED" LP (SPHC)
Czech hardcore heroes See You in Hell return with their third LP in their 14 year career, and like all great bands, they just continue to get better! Jed LP is the best See You in Hell material yet as they continue to master the “Burning Spirits” Japanese hardcore style on their own terms, with their own subtle and unique twists. Bringing a distinctly Czech//eastern European sensibility to the Japanese hardcore style, they are a band that, like most great punk bands, at once sounds familiar yet instantly recognizable. This small-run American pressing was done in conjunction with their USA west coast tour with Lotus Fucker.

NUCLEAR AGE - DEMO TAPE
New hardcore band from DC/MD area. http://nuclearage.bandcamp.com/

JERK STORE #13 - ZINE
Latest issue of this top-notch Australian zine. Features writings about 1981, a Daylight Robbery tour diary, a bunch of spot-on, incredibly well-written record reviews and a lot of other content for the discerning punk. I love that Alex has really diverse yet demanding tastes, and I think it's safe to say that if you're into what Sorry State does (particularly on the label end of things) this should be one of your must-read zines.

AC4  "S/T" LP
Singer Dennis Lyxzén and bassist David Sandström–formerly of Sweden's Refused, one of the most innovative and influential bands of the '90, have reunited. AC4 is clearly a hardcore band: old-school, stripped-down, and apparently minus the radical sonic tinkering and texturing of Refused.

AGHAST  "BLOOD OPINION" LP
"I've always thought it a criminal shame that while people shart themselves left and right over Lebenden Toten (and rightly so) and herald them as the true long-time pre-trend noise believers (and rightly so)......Aghast, who is equally worthy of your sharts and has been playing for basically just as long, still languishes behind as the secret noise bomb of the northeast. It's not for want of quality. Aghast has been on a good upward trend since day one, and this is no exception. This LP is to be filed with their latest 7" as their best works to date, more fully encapsulating their take on crasher crust. This could sound biased but it's the drumming here that really clinches this band. Yes the chaotic arrangements and catchy songwriting push and pull together to make a good listen, but the real fluid drum style and impeccable sense of composition is what really takes this band to the next level. Also, a good working example of a factor in this style that so many non-Japanese bands seem to forget: that you can have a "good", full, strong studio recording that still sounds noize as fvck." - http://sphc.bigcartel.com/

AMENACA  "DEMO" LP
There has been a long line of great raw, lo-fi DIY punk and hardcore bands coming out of Spain in recent years including the likes of Otan, Firmeza 10, Crimen de Estado, Invasión, and a slew of others, and i hope people will feel that Amenaça continue that tradition of quality. Although not a "ramshackle d-beat band with no bass" band, Amenaça still takes 1980s punk influences (BAP, L'Odi Social, and Subterranean Kids) and combines them with a grainy, raw recording to create an adrenalin charged HC sound. I think you can hear many early Italian hardcore influences as well, and the vocals remind me of Raw Power at times. This 12" is actually the band's demo pressed to vinyl, but i don't think that fact hinders the quality at all. This is a three label split release coordinated by Inti of the excellent Discos Enfermos label (http://anarcopunk.net/discosenfermos/) in Spain who is handling the European distribution with additional participation from Record Shop Base in Japan and Social Napalm in the US.

ANS  "PRESSURE CRACKS" LP
A.N.S. "Pressure Cracks" LP/CD - A.N.S. from Texas are one of the most killer punk/crossover bands out there. After 2 albums and a dozen or so splits and EP's, they've produced their most focused (and best) material to date on "Pressure Cracks" the 3rd album from this prolific hardcore band. The heaviest influences are common, but maybe A.N.S. grab from less obvious albums, combining here a killer blend of the "professional hardcore" of "Feel the Darkness" era Poison Idea, the drugged out heavy metal / classic rock influenced punk of "My War" and beyond Black Flag, plus the high energy crossover thrash of "Lights, Camera, Revolution" era Suicidal Tendencies. It's a serious crossover record, sharpened by countless tours over the past few years hitting Japan, Europe and US repeated and relentlessly with dates for more global shows well into next year being confirmed now.

ANS  "THE PROCESS OF STOKING OUT" LP
Calling the gulf coast of Texas home, bandana thrashers ANS share their love of skateboarding, Black Flag and Suicidal Tendencies on this LP, with a serious negative outlook on humanity and some self-deprecation.

ANTI-PLAYAX  "VALENCIA MARCA REGISTRADA" LP
Trabuc Records in-house band. Ripping debut release! Political, pissed, cynical, no-distorsion-just-agression hardcore punk. Some times fast as fuck less-than-one-minute songs, other times combining mid tempo drumming with sing-a-long tunes. Hardcore punk sung in catalan against human stupidity, tourist assholism, environmental problems, the police, social injustices and all those fucking clichés, yes, fuck us.

APPARATUS  "HARDCORE RELIGION" LP
12 song album including a Disarm (Swe) cover. There's been a long tradition of good, yet obscure bands in Malaysia. Bands like OPPOSITION PARTY took inspiration from Japanese, Finn and Swedish scenes. Here we are with APPÄRATUS: same influences, raw, dark and heavy sound, and songs about being a loser with a brain

BACCHUS  "S/T" LP
Bacchus is from Ireland and they play fast, crusty hardcore with some good measure of crushing heavy/doomy parts mixed in. There's a good amount of bands playing this style, but they definitely stand apart with their own sound on this record. 300 pressed on white vinyl, insert with lyrics and also download card included. “The long-awaited debut LP from Ireland’s Bacchus is a tense and hulking assault of millenium-era crust. With Elements of From Ashes Rise and Kylesa forming a raging, spiralling monument of caustic desperation, this is never reductive. Refusing to take the easy option and reveling in a staunchly progressive approach to hardcore, this is like Neurosis raised on amphetamine and tempered with weed”

BALANCE OF TERROR  "A BETTER TOMORROW" LP
Hailing from New York City, Balance of Terror surges forth with 15 tracks of fast, catchy, and snotty hardcore tracks; think Deathreat or Talk Is Poison or No Parade. Balance of Terror features Stan from Deathreat on vocals and guitar. A really good record.

BLACK WINE  "S/T" LP
Debut album from Jeff Schroek of The Ergs! and Miranda Taylor and J. Nixon of Hunchback. At times grungy, at times poppy, fans of Mudhoney, The Ergs, and Hunchback take note.

BOBBY UBANGI  "INSIDE THE MIND OF..." LP
Review: atlanta's champion craftsman of the three-chord garage sing-a-longs goes by the name of bobby ubangi and this record is a rare trip inside the same mind that brought you the lids and the gaye blades. recorded on 4 track, the most humblest of DIY methods, the tracks range from lo fi rockers to sappy garage tear jerkers but with guest appearances by old king cole younger (black lips), jared swilley (black lips), king khan, gentleman jesse, and many others 'inside the mind of' is anything but simple. the LPs 12 track pack a punch and attest to the wonders an able song writer can do with just three simple chords!

BLUE CROSS  "MASS HYSTERIA" LP
Post punk from Canada, not afraid to get noisy and hardcore at times. They're beyond the classic Joy Division / Gang Of Four rip-off, still they manage to keep it Punk. The demo was acclaimed, now hear the full lenght. Members of GERM ATTAK.

BOMBENALARM  "NO MISTAKES" LP
Bombenalarm play hc/punk with diverse influences, a lot of power, outstanding vocals, and raging guitar leads. This is their second full length, which encompasses the power they have as a band with precision and depth more fully than any of their previous releases. Awesome recording and great artwork by these German punx. 11 tracks destined for glory, and many circle pits. In cooperation with Hate Records Europe and MCR Japan.

BYRDS OF PARADISE  "TEENAGE SYMPHONIES" LP
At once filthy, dreamy, druggily intoxicating and soberingly intense, Brooklyn-based Byrds of Paradise churn out slop pop tunes wearing garage/psych/punk clothing that are as sweetly sticky as they are layered, noisy and driven. The band, started by D.C. expatriate Kenny Brown in late 2009, is clearly informed by classic D.C. punk sonics, although not defined by them. That winter, Brown left D.C. to return to his New Jersey home and dedicate several weeks to recording a long- planned demo with his dear old friend and now singer Jared J Jones, ex-Dustheads). Brown then relocated to Brooklyn, where a full band came together with Alan Yuch (ex- Mongoloids) on drums and Brenden Britz (Subway Sadists, Whiteworks) playing bass.

DEAD SERIOUS  "IT'S WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE" LP
Originally released on Thorp records in 2002 as a cd now 10 years later here is the vinyl re-issue that we are very honored to be releasing. Formed in 1999 and breaking up in 2003 Dead Serious features members of Cast Aside, Barfight and Break Away who played melodic and pissed off hardcore that drew influences from Side by Side, Turning Point and Youth of Today. Very influential band in the Richmond area do yourself a favor and pick this up.

DEAN DIRG  "RAUS" LP
Germany's Dean Dirg deliver 14 more blasts of punk-hardcore rippers, the longest of which clocks in at less than a minute and a half. Raw guitars, gang vocals and furious (yet somewhat danceable) drum beats in the classic Dean Dirg tradition.

DEFEKTORS  "BOTTOM OF THE CITY" LP
Defektors' debut LP mirrors the desperation of the times with a tougher sound than witnessed on their prior output. The extra instrumental touches of the singles have been stripped away in favor of a fevered attack and desolate howl. Neither melody nor fidelity are compromised by this stark approach. Hope derived from hopelessness. Exposed, raw, and alive.

DEVOUR  "S/T" LP
Raleigh, North Carolina's Devour were born from the ashes of Cross Laws, but rather than simply picking up where that band left off, the remaining members expanded to a 5-piece and followed the long southern tradition of adding traces of metal into our hardcore. What emerged was a record that is remarkably dense and complex, recalling the very best of the mid-80s trend of hardcore bands "going metal;" think Corrosion of Conformity's Animosity LP, Final Conflict's Ashes to Ashes and Septic Death's Need So Much Attention. There's also a heavy Japanese influence; people who have seen Devour live have compared them to Judgment, Lip Cream and Bastard, a connection only made clearer by this record's astonishingly heavy and powerful recording. In a scene where so many bands simply want to replicate something that has already happened, Devour sound remarkably fresh and progressive, and without losing a single thing you loved about hardcore in the first place.

DRAMAMINE  "GREEN HORSE" LP
The new Dramamine record! i am proud to announce this to you. 11 songs between Sonic Youth, Wipers & My Bloody Valentine! »GREEN HORSE« is a collection of eleven pieces that prove both the band's progressive thinking and their awareness of history; the songs bring together noise and pop without ever making one half seem like a foreign body – the symbiosis sounds completely natural. The most notable development – besides the distinct enlargement that went along with the adding of a second guitar – can be found in the vocals: A specific quality of DRAMAMINE always used to be the interaction of the instruments and the overall sound that was always more than the sum of the parts. Now their singer Marcel Feige has reinvented his singing completely and finds his space in the band's very own sound.

EJECTOR SEATS, THE  "SAY SORRY" LP
12 little slices of life…songs about customer service, snoring, souveneirs, waking up in the wrong dimension, getting fired on Friday, watching the weathergirl on TV…this is mid tempo to fast mid tempo ragged kinda popp-ish-punk. I guess you could say the vocals are a little gravelly… (not in a Gainsville-gruff way), but the melodies are infectious & the choruses’ll get stuck in yer head. It’s on a cool green vinyl w orangey/purple/blue splatters. Somewhere between the Hidden Spots & Tongan Deathgrip perhaps.

ELECTRIC FUNERAL  "D-BEAT NOISE ATTACK/MAKE A CHANGE" LP
More noisy d-beat for your post-apocalyptic, disease-ridden ears. Electric Funeral, who had a few earlier 7"s that are also kicking around the distro, play straight-up, non-gimmicky Discharage-inspired d-beat. I'm pretty sure these guys are trying to make everyone a little less sad that Kawakami from Disclose is no longer with us, as this LP is just about the closest thing to Disclose I've ever heard in my life. Beastly stuff, and I personally always prefer this style in the 12" format.

ENDPOINT  "IN A TIME OF HATE" LP
Formed in 1987, Louisville’s ENDPOINT took hardcore in unique directions as they utilized melody, introspective and sometimes depressed lyrics, and progressive, indie rock-leaning song structures. Along with bands like FALLING FORWARD, LINCOLN, SPLIT LIP, and ASHES, they helped lead a movement of like-minded melodic nineties hardcore bands that felt hardcore need not rely on metal riffs or mosh parts to be intense and emotional. As one of the most innovative bands in the hardcore scene of the nineties, they addressed issues such as sexual violence and prejudice in a way that no one ever had. They created a trend in hardcore that called for one’s deepest and most personal emotions to be present and exorcised while playing, prompting equally turbulent responses from audiences.

FACIALS  "S/T" LP
Debut album from this keyboard driven, female singing pop-punk band from Montreal. The vocal reminds me a lot of some 80' anarcho-punk band like RUBELLA BALLET or LOST CHERREES. Songs dealing with subject like being queer, hating the state and nuclear radiation just to name a few. Members have played in BALLAST and SWTZRLND. The first side finishes with an tremendous cover from the swedish punk band BURNING KITCHEN while the flip side ends with a really nice sing-a-long ballad. Amazing live act as well as an amazing LP.

FOLDED SHIRT  "S/T" 12"
Cleveland dummies, FOLDED SHIRT return to burn with this highly anticipated long play. Moron punk greatness caused by some genius pressing "record" in a room with Mr California, one Darvocet, one Homostupid, and one Grabby. This is a split release with the excellent Proud to Be Idiot label

GATEWAY DISTRICT  "PERFECT'S GONNA FAIL" LP
Take what works, build on it, expand on it and leave the rest behind. That's exactly what Gateway District has done with Perfect's Gonna Fail. Unlike many sophomore albums that serve as a means of expansion by way of experimentation, Perfect's Gonna Fail has taken the strongest elements of the band's debut album Some Days You Get The Thunder and doubled-up on them - The already amazing songwriting has been pushed even closer to perfection; the musicianship has been wrenched a notch tighter; the vocals are belted out with more confidence; the harmonies have multiplied and taken hold of the entire album. The end result is a focused and deliberate attempt at being the best damn album you will hear all year.

IMPULSE INT'L  "POINT OF ACTION" LP
From the ashes of DIRT BIKE ANNIE (Dirtnap Records) comes the IMPULSE, INT’L. – a trio from New Jersey by way of Florida that delivers an album's worth of excellent guitar driven powerpop gems. They mix the guitar hooks of the REAL KIDS with the upbeat tempo of UK powerpopers the BUZZCOCKS. Nothing complicated, just really catchy punk!

IN CONTROL  "THE NARD CURSE" LP
In 1999, In Control released a demo that caught on in the area and spread like wildfire. This release, along with their debut 7", helped bring a buzz back to the area that once gave the rest of the world bands like RKL and Agression. LP compiles original recordings of the much sought after and out of print demo and first 7".

INTENSITY  "THE RUINS OF OUR FUTURE" LP
Powerful and hard hitting thrashcore from this seasoned hardcore outfit. The lyrics are political and the music is fast and furious with plenty of style. 15 tracks as well as a cover of Citizens Arrest’s "In The Distance." Awesome hardcore. Their first ep was more in the vein of Uniform Choice styled hardcore, but now they are going for a faster, thrashier hardcore feel akin to From Ashes Rise and Citizen’s Arrest. (DERANGED)

LAST ROUND UP  "S/T" LP
Hardcore Punk Rock from Notorious Drunks from East L.A. i first meet this band in 1986 or 87 ,when thay played a gig with another friends band i think it was no mercy . anyways shortly after that we're were going to east la to party with them and watch the practice out of mikes gurage .thay need a new drummer , and my friend "ray rios" (he also played drums for no reaction) joined the band. last round up still plays from time to time , this releace will have there 2 early demos from 88 and 91 +a studio set from 2007 .

LOSER LIFE  "FRIENDS WITH A DEMON (EURO)" LP
LOSER LIFE are back with their 2nd full length LP! After several months of touring, a handful of 7"s, a 12" and an album on MAGIC BULLET they have mastered their Chicago meets DC by way of Bakersfield sound. This time some darker elements and a great recording take things to the next level. An explosive mix that brings to mind bands like ARTICLES OF FAITH, NAKED RAYGUN or BORN AGAINST. LOSER LIFE comes from a place called Bakersfield, California, an area the band has numerously described as “the armpit of California”. This is what LOSER LIFE is influenced by and the band's sound makes their pleasant description seem all too realistic. LOSER LIFE is dirty, grimy, filthy and fucking pissed off at their little hole in the world and the world in general. They play music with a glass half-empty feeling with a glass overflowing the brim spirit. EUROPEAN PRESS with GATEFOLD COVER.

LOSER LIFE  "MY HELL (EURO PRESS)" LP
Brand new 12" E.P. from Bakersfield, CA's one and only LOSER LIFE. Following up two EPs and an impressive full length, on this new release LOSER LIFE blast through five new tracks of their ARTICLES OF FAITH influenced brand of melodic and aggressive hardcore. Fuelled by all the anger and frustration that comes with growing up in a hostile and ignorant hicktown, Loser Life conveys a certain sense of urgency that many of their fellow Chicago style hardcore worshippers lack. EUROPEAN PRESS PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING:

MANIC ATTRACTS  "EYES WIDE SHUT" LP
Vancouver based MANIC ATTRACTS (Featuring Current/Ex- members of Dead Ghosts, Shimmering Stars, Time Copz and Chains Of Love) crawl out of their scuzz ridden lair to pollute the world with their toxically surfy, sort of jangly, spaced out mess. 'Eyes Wide Shut' contains a barrage of snarling feedback and distortion that blurs the lines between psychedelic downer pop and their warped take on garage rock. The guitar tones alone sound like they were played through heavy Fuzz boxes with, both, the pedals and amps set to 'Rawer Than Hell'. Awesomely primitive sounds that make a nice, warm, fuzzy canvas for the spacey, shambolic gloomyness of the music. It's like they've adeptly deconstructed the best parts of the Cramps, Velvet Underground, Zombies and the Stooges; washed those parts in twangy, backwoods grit; threw in some wierdo, warbled backwards guitar slides and reassembled everything into a dark and dusty soundscape that just works.

MUTATORS  "SECRET LIFE" LP
Mutators lie at the heart of Vancouver's resurrection, spreading the word via multiple North American tours and a variety of releases. Now Secret Life captures them at their most effective and exacting. This set of 13 tightly structured songs is full of venom and surprising hooks. Influences exist without mimicry. Attack and release proves more powerful than unrelenting scree. Sing along at your own peril.

NOTHING  "EMBRACE THE HATRED" LP
Berlin - two years ago - germany's "aged" punk/Hardcore veterans from Highscore, Mönster, Costas Cakehouse, Durango95, Bombenalarm & Situations are lost in a foreign city - with no hope and only one love left. Nothing is born, Nothing is saviour, Nothing is HC/Punk deluxe. Think of Poison Idea with a metal-shredding edge! This is power, this is fun, this is drive passion with pissed of lyrics. Less TRBNGR and more thrash than debut record! If you need a good and fresh punk record for 2012, get this one!

ORIGIN OF M  "S/T" LP
Burai Core presents the first Origin of M 12"! With similar speed and power as bands like FORWARD but with their own Hiroshima hardcore style, Origin of M has Mr Guy ex GUDON on vocals and Maru ex ASPHALT on guitar. Raging sound and insightful lyrics, all new art by the master illustrator Sugi. Originally released on CD by Under The Surface in 2008 and long sold out, this 12" also includes their song from the "Demented Anthem Hardcore Assemblage" compilation. Includes digital download code.

OUT ON A LIMB  "DROWNED" LP
GREAT first record of this band from Chemnitz/Leipzig. Complex groovy with wave-guitar sounds and nice melodies and a lot of energetic post-punk influences like WIPERS, JOY DIVISION and THE ESTRANGED. All records include a downloadcode. 300 pressed

OUTLAST  "AS SURE AS I LIVE" LP
Killer posicore from Sweden! Unearthed some deadstock copies of this rager which came out in the late 90's/early 00's. I believe this is a collection of their 10" and maybe some 7"s too. I remember giving this many spins when I got my hands on it when it first came out, definitely recommended to all of you posi-core / youth crew aficionados! Please note - these LPs are almost 15 years old, so while they aren't in mint / new condition (some minor wear on the cover and edges), DEFINITELY worth it for the price!

PINK HOUSES  "S/T" LP
Pink Houses' self-titled, snarling full-length bears a pleasantly noisy, grumbling tilt that fans of the sound should dig. Fuzzy, cracking amps and a murky plow on opener "A Shame" should instantly bring Nirvana to mind for plenty. But higher-pitched, off-kilter yelling and more deliberate, nimbler guitar work in "New Religion", as well as sardonic "oo"s backing, help the band establish more of their own identity and an almost pop-punk undercurrent. It's kinda catchy, too. See, the vocals sometimes have that nasally, John Darnielle-like quality, but then comes the more strained, snarling yells and shaggy guitars cutting in, like in "Wildflowers". The short, aggressive "Fed Up" and Melvins-ish, sludgier, plodding intro to "Again at the End" shows some versatility, and when Side B kicks off with the less grungy but certainly energetic "New Blood", it's very cool and an interesting change for the band. Charred, ripshit playing continues through the rest of the tracks regardless of the grunge level, though, like the charged hooks in "To Be and Need" (a short questioning of how a person can be deemed "illegal").

PLEXI 3  "TIDES OF CHANGE" LP
This is the 1st LP release from Bachelor Records. PLEXI 3 deliever 13 songs (one cover by the EVERLY BROTHERS) full of '60s girl-group and mod-pop sounds flavoured with just the perfect pinch of garage-punk attitude were pressed on 500 black vinyls. Now it is your turn as music expert and scenester to buy this gem!

RAS  "RAS1" LP
Catchy 77ish Swedish punk rock. Retro sounding, still refreshingly fresh Swedish punk with all attitude needed. Members of Manikins, Henry Fiat's Open Sore, and Unabombers. First (the yellow one) album out of the two that were released simultaneously.

RAS  "RAS2" LP
Catchy 77ish Swedish punk rock. Retro sounding, still refreshingly fresh Swedish punk with all attitude needed. Members of Manikins, Henry Fiat's Open Sore, and Unabombers. Second (the blue one) album out of the two that were released simultaneously.

RAYDIOS, THE  "NOW" LP
For those not in the know, the Raydios is Fink from the legendary Teengenerate and Firestarter's current band. This is their 2nd album, coming about 10 years (!) after their Demo LP on Screaming Apple. The CD version of Now was released by Japan's Mangrove Records last year (and is being distributed by Dirtnap in the USA), and is just now seeing the light of day on vinyl. It's been remastered for vinyl and re-mixed by Fink himself, and sounds great. Musically this is no frills, crunchy, mid tempo rock n roll. Less trashy than Teengenerate, but not quite as "pop" as Firestarter, this is kinda a middle ground between the two.

REACTIONARIES  "S/T" LP
Featuring ex DEADSTOP members. Late 2006 is when The Reactionaries put their heads together and decided to dig deeper than they ever had before, to go beyond the limitations of whatever genre there may be and just write music for the love of writing music. It took a few line up changes and a small hiatus for the ball to really get rolling. But now that it's rolling, it seems like it ain't gonna be stopped any time soon. Recorded over the span of close to half a year during late 2008 and early 2009 with the help of Krist Torfs (White Circle Crime Club), "Ingenuity" proves that there still are bands with the balls to do things on their own terms, no matter what self proclaimed connaisseurs have proclaimed as being the "new cool thing". Drawing from a wide range of influences, this is the kind of record that music lovers will be able to sink their teeth into, no matter what their vinyl collection looks like. From the haunting, heartbroken yet still somehow surprisingly upbeat "Fool For You", to the groovy, riff heavy "Changes", The Reactionaries made sure every ounce of sweat and every bit of soul transpired into their songs. The result? I guess one could say it's something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Soulful, dynamic, fuzzy garage punk. Or maybe it's not. Other than crancking up "Ingenuity" real loud, the only way to really find out and truly discover The Reactonaries is to see them in a live setting. Those who've seen them on their string of shows with The Damned, or any other show for that matter, will surely testify to this.

ROCKET REDUCERS  "S/T" LP
Debut full length here from the ROCKET REDUCERS hailing from a small town way up north. After a self released 12", these Canucks are back with 12 songs of no BS, tuff neck, Rock 'n' Roll. Remember bands like the New Bomb Turks, Pagans, Teengenerate and Radio Birdman? Well the ROCKET REDUCERS certainly do and they do a damn good job re-wiring punk rock with thick, catchy Ramones-based riffs, played at break neck speeds! The vocals reverberate back ‘n forth in the mix and the recording quality comes off a little rough around the edges which works well for the band. The songs have a nice scuzzy, grit to them giving you the sense that these guys probably roll out of bed around noon, put their Chucks on and head to too the liquor store before going to practice; or gettin’ their pre-party drink on. Raw boned, Rock 'n' Roll played fast, primal and hooky...the way punk rock was meant to be played!

ROVSVETT  "BOLL-MATS ... 1984-1987" LP
Fast Swedish thrashing hardcore from the hey day of the 80’s scene, full bore 100% hardcore attack featuring both long gone early classic EP’s + rare demo tracks.

SACRED LOVE  "DIVIDING LINES" LP
Still a new band, Sacred Love continue to take giant steps forward with every recording. This 5-song, one-sided 12″ EP showcases their ever-growing ability and massive potential.

SATELLITERS, THE  "WHERE DO WE GO?" LP
"Where Do We Go?" is the latest release by Germany's high-priests of 60s-garage-acid-syke, THE SATELLITERS. This album includes 10 original and all-new SATELLITERS songs plus 3 cover-versions: The BIRDS "No Good Without You Baby", "I'll Make You Sorry" by THE SHADOWS OF KNIGHT and THE PARAGONS-smasher "Abba". This mind-blowing release is housed in style by famous European designer, T.Eschweiler. Along with the albums "High Karate", "Sexplosive", "Wild Knights of Action", "Hashish" and the EPs "...Shake Shake Shake" and "The Satelliters", "Where Do We Go?" is an essential and important recorded milestone for fans of fuzz.

SCHEISSE MINNELLI  "EXIST TO GET PISS'T" LP
Finally re-pressed and available: the first LP of the German-American cross section. Skate Punk at its finest. Mix DRI, Black Flag, Verbal Abuse and grab the skateboard!

SENSE FIELD  "KILLED FOR LESS" LP
The first full-length release from one of the most incredible groups out of Los Angeles, CA. Fourteen powerful songs that take music to a new level of dynamics. Clean production. Now available again on colored vinyl. Vinyl version includes free digital download of this record.

SEXPISTOLSTANTEN OCH MOCKFJARDSVAPNET  "DET..." LP
Music by idiots for idiots. This is most probably the best punk records that will be released in Sweden 2011. In the world, actually. Forever. With members from Local Oafs, Skitsystem, Henry Fiats Open Sore, it would be easier to point out which Swedish punk band that isn't involved in this mess in one way or another.

SHRILLS, THE  "MELTDOWN" LP
Mind bending psych punk from ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. “Meltdown” contains material from The Shrills first 3 releases plus additional new songs that were recorded at the Distillery (Costa Mesa, CA) over the last 2 years. This album is arranged so that each song blends seamlessly into the next, creating one chaotic mess of trippy, psychedelic fuzz. Recorded and pressed on wax directly from the original master tapes using all analog equipment. First pressing of 500 copies on red, blue, etcc colored vinyl. Each copy includes full digital download.

SURFER BLOOD  "TAROT CLASSICS" LP
"Tarot Classics is a six-song EP from the most awesomely-named band Surfer Blood. Despite being about half the length of a normal album (you know, in terms of songs), this is quite possibly one of the finest pieces of music I have ever heard, even better than some full-length albums out there. Even to describe Surfer Blood is to do them an injustice. I guess I could start by saying that despite the word “blood” being in the name, they are not anywhere near what you’d expect them to be, in terms of a metal or hardcore band. It’s kind of like the way people think of what Murder by Death will sound like before they even hear their music. So, can you surf to this music? You could, but it’s not really surf-rock, per se. It has an indie dance-beat-type of feel to it at times, kind of like Ted Leo, but it really sounds nothing like that. It has great harmony that makes it almost seem like pop, but it is in no way catchy. Essentially, these six songs are very easy on the ears. I dare you to put this album on and not fall in love with it from the first note, with a love that will linger until the very last note when you reach for that Play button to hear it all again. I almost feel like there’s some kind of subliminal messaging in the background because of how addictive this can be, even though you’re not able to instantly sing along to it."

TEEN CRUD COMBO  "JUDGEMENT NIGHT" LP
This recording has been sitting idle for over 6 years and is now thankfully available ? rejoice! At a time when Toronto had no good bands to speak of, came TEEN CRUD COMBO with their DWARVES, ZEKE, and MOTORHEAD worship to grace Toronto?s eager punk and rock souls. Now long broken up, TCC consisted of people who went on to play in RUINATION and BRUTAL KNIGHTS and put on an excellent live show. It didn?t take long for TCC to become the best thing Toronto had to offer but for the most part, this new found fame was pretty much limited to Toronto. They did release a 7" on BlackLung records but broke up before really becoming more than just a local phenomenon. This LP features 13 speedy punk songs which includes 4 from the BlackLung 7" and 9 previously unreleased tracks. I have said this many of times, this is one of the best Canadian punk records in many moons.

THRILLS  "N.A.F.I.T.C. ORIGINAL BOSTON PUNK 77-81" LP
From straight out of the first wave of bonafide punk rock comes this Boston gem. Thrills were part of the Real Kids/DMZ/Cars/Nervous Eaters/LaPeste school of bash-it-out and make 'em dance school of driving rock and roll. Like a demented cross between the sweet Spector girl-groups and the faster-than-Ramones tempos of a Black Flag, Thrills were, as their heroes the New York Dolls would say, too much too soon. This collection features their only single, plus demos plus live cuts that no punk completist can or should live without! Includes guitarist/writer/talk show host Johnny Angel on guitar and Merle Allin on bass!

THROBBIN URGES  "S/T" LP
Debut LP here from these Michigan degenerate. Loud, incorrigible scuzz-punk with frenzied beats, white-hot, overblown blasts of treble, and all sorts of other great stuff. They sound just barely in control and that's actually a big part of what makes this record so great. Stupid-wonderful titiles like “Get Rad” and “Remote Control Pu**sy” provide as much background as you need! Maybe it’s the weird keyboard intro, but when I listen to this record, I want it to be the soundtrack to Surf Nazis must die. Did I mention that I love this? No? Well I love this. Straight from their practice space to vinyl, and nothing lost on the way. There is good lofi and bad lofi. This is just totally awesome!! If you like etc.Pagans, Reatards, Guitar Wolf, Tenngenerate, Carbonas, Feelers etc pick this up.

UNDEAD, THE  "FIRST, WORST, AND CURSED" LP
The Undead formed in LA during summer of 1977. By the end of the year, they released two singles and moved to San Francisco. Never a band that toured regularly, they eventually released many more singles and were the house band at the underground club, The Hell Hole. These rare and long out-of-print (and EXPENSIVE) recordings circa 1977 - 1982 are finally unleashed from the grave for fans old and new.
