XTILL I DIEX

Tough, churning metallic hardline bands were not unusual in the '90s, but in Japan they were certainly an oddity. Forged in the EARTH CR...

VIRUS

All of these songs save one ("Systematic Violence," arguably the best song on the tape) appear in different forms on the You Can...

GET OFF MY LAND

A hunt saboteurs benefit cassette from the late '80s featuring a handful of bands you know (INTERNAL AUTONOMY, SOFA HEAD, AOS3 ) and hea...

ELECTRO HIPPIES

After an excruciatingly long intro and one track that leans more towards the crossover side of late '80s thrashcore, ELECTRO HIPPIES dis...

STATEMENT

So I was having a chat with my pal Golnar yesterday, and we were talking about the lyrical content dished out by most current bands (to be f...

CITY INDIANS

More thrash than their Spoilsport   demo, and more awesome too - "Ballad Of The Dead" from that '86 demo given the treatment h...

BATTLE OF DISARM // SATELLITE

Andrash from M.O.A.B . released this split back in 2005, when he still lived in Jakarta, and gave me a copy a few weeks back in Long Beach (...

CRUX

Here is the B side of the live in Brighton tape that I introduced with the EXIT STANCE post earlier this week. Killer driving UK punk, a go...

MORNING PEASANTS

Do you really need another UK punk compilation? Maybe you do. Morning Peasants hits more of the later '80s crust shits, AXEGRINDER, GEN...

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE SYSTEM

This seven song banger comes courtesy of LA peace punk/anarcho crust/activist rockers ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE SYSTEM circa 1986. Super heavy CON...

DAN

For years, I completely skipped over DAN, probably because of their goofy and decidedly not punk looking record covers, but when my friend Z...

ANARKA AND POPPY

These two gigs were recorded a few days apart in 1983, the sets are exactly the same, as is the recording quality, so whether or not you rea...

CIVILISED SOCIETY?

I prefer the later CIVILISED SOCIETY material, even though it's a little more metal and a little less punk, but this 1984 demo is a fukk...

F.I.S. COMP TWO

Great late 80s UR60 with a roster that was almost entirely new to me upon first listen. MUNCH start off with a mellow instrumental that soun...

CORPSE AND 2 VEG

Lo-fi live demos are rather amazing, and I especially like that bands like CORPSE AND 2 VEG don't even bother editing out the between so...

KARMA SUTRA

Great moody anarcho punk from KARMA SUTRA. There are only four songs on this 198? demo, and I will happily take this kind of quality over qu...

CIVILISED SOCIETY

Do CIVILISED SOCIETY need even more introduction?  Here's a rough early demo that shows the band well before the Scrap Metal record or e...

OI POLLOI

I figure OI POLLOI kinda goes in the "needs no introduction" category, but I completely skipped over this band for years.  Perhaps...
