DEMOS
1985/88
7INCH
|
Selections from 2 demos by this obscure 80s Florida band. Side 1 sounds a lot like Dayglo Abortions to me while the second side adds in some righteous metal licks a la Dr. Know. Definitely quality stuff here.

BLOOD STAINED REALITY

NAZI SCUM BURN IN HELL
7INCH
|
Ripping fast hardcore with a cool, noisy guitar sound a very early 80s feel. This definitely could have fit in well on the first We Got Power Comp, my favorite compilation LP ever. Also has kind of a Strung Up feel, but a little noisier and sloppier (in a good way!). Plastic Fact Records. -DANIEL SORRY STATE

BORED TO DEATH
|
SELF TITLED
7INCH
|
Hailing from Sapporo City, Japan, Bored to Death are named after a song on Government Issue's Legless Bull EP and it definitely shows in their sound. The production on this platter is so spot-on that you could add these tracks to future pressings of Dischord's 1981: The Year in Seven Inches CD and no one would ever notice; however, it's the simple, catchy-as-hell songwriting that will keep you spinning this one over and over again. With eight tracks in less than 9 minutes you know this one is a rager.

BORN BAD
|
MORON MUSIC
7INCH
|
Canada's BORN BAD are back with a second EP and it pretty much picks up where the first one left off. This is just punishing, bruising hardcore with a Pick Your King-meets pummeling Scandi-core vibe. There's also a heavy Black Flag influence, especially when they slow things down. If you liked the first one then you need this one too.

2nd EP from the RIPPING alter ego of St. Louis's Cardiac Arrest. If you ask me this is even better than their first EP. This is definitely fast HC, but what I love about CA is that they don't rely on the same chords and tempos... every song sounds different, making this seem a lot more PUNK than most HC bands. Killer, KILLER record. Highly recommended. Fashionable Idiots Records.

Ripping Minneapolis HC from ex-members of the Formaldehyde Junkies, among others. You can definitely draw the FJ's comparison, though this is darker and a little more hardcore than that band ever got. A ripping single nonetheless. Self-released with hand-screened cover.

GREAT Follow up to thier debut ep. This 12" ep delivers the goods with some harsh, fast punk rock ALA Poison Idea mixed with some great catchy punk anthems. All in all, it's some good ol' Portland fucking PUNK! Great cover art, Great mastering, short and to the point. BLIND SPOT RECORDS

CROSS LAWS
|
ANCIENT RITES
7INCH
|
After 2 much-talked-about EPs, North Carolina's Cross Laws are back with another 6-song slab of ferocious hardcore. Yeah, they're still fast and mean as fuck, but this time the riffs are a little more complex and melodic, bringing to mind Totalitar, Poison Idea and occasionally even Articles of Faith. Fuck all of the soundalike bands, this is raw, in-your-face hardcore.

DOUBLE
NEGATIVE
|
THE WONDERFUL AND FRIGHTNING WORLD...
LP
|
The long awaited debut album from Raleigh NC's, DOUBLE NEGATIVE. This album has 10 blasts of Violent, Raging Hardcore Punk. This band has been at it for a little over a year now, destroying everything in their path. This album is sure to be an instant classic. Think the power of "Animosity" Era C.O.C mixed with the Raw aggression of bands like Discharge and VOID. No Way Records.
Look for their new 7" EP out soon on SORRY STATE!

7INCH
|
The Bay Area spits out another seriously raging band. Ecoli will be kicking your head all over your room from start to finish of this brain crushing ep. Unique and original shredding guitar riffs mixed with completely pissed off vocals, and a sick snotty attitude that will keep this record spinning in your player for months. Think bands like KORO, NEON CHRIST, NEOS. GREAT STUFF! (description from No Way Records web site)

LIFE TRAP

BLEAK REALITY
7INCH
|
Life Trap from Nashville, TN burst onto the scene last year with one of the sickest demos I'd heard in ages, and those lucky ducks at No Way Records got to release their debut EP. This continues in the crushing vein of their demo... rugged, US-style HC with truly standout vocals. Think Articles of Faith, Rebel Truth, etc.
