WEBSTORE UPDATE 11.09.2012
After hitting you with updates three weeks in a row last month, I figured it was time for a break so I've been laying low for a while. That, and the fact that I've been a bit under the weather for the past two weeks ... things have been moving a little bit slower over here at GMHQ but I'm slowly getting back on track! A pretty bangin' update this week as a result of things piling up so hopefully you can make it through because there is a lot of good stuff here!
Before I get to the webstore talk, two quick things; First - expect a FULL Grave Mistake update next week - I'll let you in on what we have in store for the remainder of 2012, as well as a pretty sweet run down of what you can expect in 2013. I know I've been promising a full update for a while now, but I assure you the wait is almost over. Second - BIG EYES are currently a week into their full US tour with CA's AUDACITY! You can check the dates below. We were able to get a few rushed copies of repressing of their Demo 7" that should hopefully be out next month on Grave Mistake / Evil Weevil, and they also have a brand new split single with AUDACITY as well! If that wasn't enough, although these won't be available on this tour, they also have a split 7" with MEAN JEANS in the works (on DIRTNAP RECORDS), and a new LP in the pipes for the beginning of 2013!!! More on that later ... but check em out if they hit your town!
Now on to the webstore ...

NEW IN THE WEBSTORE FOR 11/9/12:
BI MARKS "SLEEPER" 7" (BLACKWATER)
Great follow up to their recent golden years LP. Three tracks of raging U.S. hardcore in the vein of Zero Boys with a touch of Black Sabbath and early Accused for good measure. The best kept secret in modern day U.S. hardcore punk and a refreshing change from the current state of American hardcore.
VAGINORS "TOTAL NONSENSE" 7" (VIDEO DISEASE)
If you haven't heard the Vaginors you are missing out on some of the catchiest, noisiest, and obnoxiously great noise punk happening in the world right now. Their LP absolutely blew me away and I knew I had to release something for them. This band is head and shoulders above ANY other noise punk band in the world right now. Absolutely GENIUS! Taking the elements of the Swankys to a whole new extreme, the guitar pump out incredibly noisy riffs while the drums and bass bounce around with some of the catchiest punk you've ever heard while the thick nasally OZ accent wails and flails his voice to new heights of ridiculousness. To match the absurdity of the music there will be FOUR colors of vinyl available for this release! Some will be exclusive to regions, but more details on that later. For now check out a sample track:
TRENCH ROT "TYRANT" 7" (VIDEO DISEASE)
Latest and greatest 7" from these So Cal HC warriors. Rejecting the more traditional d-beat approach the band injects a huge amount of early USHC influence into their Discharge-tinged riffs, bringing to mind trailblazers such as the legendary Poison Idea. They are not simply paying homage though, they are jumping out from the pack of trendy d-beat and rehash HC to bring a record with an incredibly powerful sound and incredibly catchy songs. On this recording they have stayed away from the "raw ponx" trend that is sweeping Los Angeles and instead opted for a brighter and cleaner recording to capture the power that these juggernauts have.
RAKOSI "OLASYLIZKA" 7" (LENGUA ARMADA)
Short, raging sounds all the way from Hungary. This is one tight, fucking record with no time for bullshit, to the point and aggressive as hell. You don’t speak Hungarian? It doesn’t matter, you will understand angst and fury no matter what tongue it is in. RAKOSI bring us their second ep on Lengua Armada and this shit kills. 500 pressed.
MASTERS APPRENTICES "UNDECIDED" 7" (UGLY POP)
Australia's legendary Masters Apprentices debuted with this superb 45 in November 1966, hitting hard with Undecided's raucous, early-Kinks-inspired punk R&B but truly achieving godhead with the flipside. Wars Or Hands Of Time is about as good as it gets, a sublime, driving garage-psych gem later to be immortalized on the Nuggets 2 boxset. Among my all-time top five or ten singles, and an absolute dream to reissue. High-quality pressing taken from the recent Aztec remaster, in full-colour jacket with all-new insert.
IN-SECT, THE "I CAN SEE MY LOVE" 7" (UGLY POP)
Prefering to release records in sets, it made perfect sense to couple the Masters reissue with this similarly brilliant classic Australian 45. Hailing from the same city of Adelaide, The In-Sect almost unbelievably released this sophomore single just a few months earlier, in August of '66. I Can See My Love is a stunning rush of '60s punk aggression, all streamlined attack powered by excellent high-speed drumming, piercing guitar and tough, commanding vocals. We've replaced the original's more commercially-minded flip with a wild take on the timeless Yardbirds hit. High-quality pressing from proper master and new picture sleeve.
CONQUEST FOR DEATH "ONE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS" 7" (TANKCRIMES)
Fast, manic hardcore punk! New album coming soon on Tankcrimes - this EP is limited to 300 copies on muddled purple/greyblack vinyl with a nice little obi strip - get one now!
ESCAVELS "YOU SHOULD KNOW" 7" (ALONAS DREAM)
The Escavels bridge the gap between The Ravens (see: ADR 7 001) (They even shared some members!) and the legendary Chicago garage punks The Things To Come. They were considered the teen heartthrobs (surely not more than the Ravens!?) of the west suburban Chicagoland dance scene and actually won the Talented Teen Contest in ’65! Some Escavels members went on to some pretty heavy gigs: from garage legends (Things To Come) to major label blues n’ boogie bands (Pacific Gas & Electric) to cult psychedelic albums (McDonald & Sherby), their influence might surprise you.
PENETRATORS,THE "TEENAGE LIFESTYLE" 7" (WINDIAN)
A project we took on with a head of steam was the PENETRATORS. re-issuing their first single last summer, we will also continue to release the amazing singles they dropped in Syracuse, NY more than 30 years ago. Teenage Lifestyle / Rock n Roll face was the bands 2nd release in 1979, and comprises heavier stones/nuggets thuggish bashers and heated vox from spike and jack and the gang. Includes fred records promo sticker on the back sleeve just as the original did in ’79. mp3 card included.
PENETRATORS, THE "GOTTA HAVE HER" 7" (WINDIAN)
Syracuse’s only, #1 Band in Town, the Kings of Basement Rock…THE PENETRATORS! WINDIAN is extremely proud to be releasing the first of many re-issues and previously un-released 45′s from these seminal 70′s garage / punk rockers. This is the single that started it all, the single that started FRED RECORDS, “Gotta Have Her B/W Baby, Dontcha Tell Me” 45. Released in 1976 on the bands own imprint, the A-side “Gotta Have Her” is a sleek groover, kidnapped from the ROLLING STONES and beaten savagely by NUGGET-ERA bashers. The B-side’s “Baby, Dontcha Tell Me” possesses all the cocksure swagger sound of early rock and roll that THE PENETRATORS perfected instantly.
CHINESE BURNS "CALCULATOR" 7" (WINDIAN)
It’s been a year or so since CHINESE BURNS [Melbourne, Australia] released their last 45, two years since ‘CAN DIG’ 7″ and the wait is totally worth it. You might remember them from a featured interview with TERMINAL BOREDOM. You might remember you have one of your favorite 7″s in your collection from these guys. This is a one-up. The latest effort features 4 tracks of broken feverish Garage Punk, from beginning to end, A to B, this 7″ is effortlessly complete. ‘Kiss Fist’ was featured on the WINDIAN SUMMER COMPILATION, and was a favored track among the voices that actually got the CD.
DEAD PEOPLE "FEEL THE LIGHT" 7" (WINDIAN)
Hailing from Gnarlins, Dead People were born on the bayou in the dusk of 2010 when members of Nü Orleans’ The Bellys and The Dives, joined forces. Within a week they debuted their dual-guitar, dual-vox, dual songwriting duel at the Big Sleazy’s Saturn Bar. Since then, Dude People’s blossomed and flower-powered into an explosive live-act, a true tour de force. Their debut 4 track 7″ Lo-Fi art damaged Garage Psych Punk. Loud beating, brash guitar treatments, and harsh heated vox punish your ears in the way we all enjoy.
SWEET SIXTEENS, THE "SUBMARINE" 7" (WINDIAN)
Second single from these party punkers outta Lafayette Indiana [aka Party City U.S.A.], The Sweet Sixteens! Two supremely Lo-Fi KeyTard synth poppers, sure to keep you in the red. Tracks good enough to weird out your biker dad and keep you in with the sweet ladies. Very fun, OK?
RATTUS "RAJOITETTU YDINSOTA" 7" (HOENIE)
Fucking insane top shelf Finnish hardcore from 1982. A total head eruption, blazing hardcore punk, otherworldly guitar leads, raw guttaral vocals, hardcore at it's best. Limited re issue on Hoenie records.
RATTUS "RATTUS ON RAUTAA" 7" (HOENIE)
Limited re issue on Hoenie records of this early 12" from Rattus as a 7". This is Rattus in between 77 punk and hardcore, but still great on every track.
MENACE "G.L.C." 7" (QUEER PILLS)
Classic 77 uk punk. Originally out in 1978 now repressed and the first out of 5 in the series of menace singles to come.includes a bonus song by the aces(post menace) from there super rare 7". out in time to support the east coast appearance.each 7" will come with one bonus song and there will be limited box set of all 5 7”s in the end.
MR. CALIFORNIA / FLYIN' TRICHECOS - SPLIT 7" (NONCOMMERCIAL)
This is the last recording of the Flyin' Trichecos before Anus went back to Italia. Recorded in the basement on 4 track. Very raw and a little more on the hardcore side than previous releases. There is also a Mr. California cover done by the Trichecos with various guest appearances. The Mr. California side features the classic song "Smokin' Crack" and a hilarious electronic version of a Flyin' Trichecos song that is out of this world. This is a one time pressing on Non-Commercial Records with a limited 110 on Cocaine stained vinyl and 240 on black vinyl! Featuring members of Out With a Bang, Midnight, Inmates, 9 SHocks, Darvocets etc etc. Artwork drawn by FOOD, the genius singer of Sockeye!
SICK FIX "VEXED" LP (A389)
Washington DC's straight edge powerhouse Sick Fix's debut vinyl "Vexed" comes loaded with twelve tracks of fast and crushing, pissed off female fronted hardcore. Formed in 2006, by members of Magrudergrind/Coke Bust and friends, Sick Fix recently toured Europe with Coke Bust. Printed insert, and MP3 download codes.
PICK YOUR SIDE "LET ME SHOW YOU HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS" LP (A389)
The wait is over at last! PICK YOUR SIDE features ex/current members of Haymaker/Left For Dead/Fuck The Facts/Burst Of Silence playing fast heavy pissed off hardcore that sounds like everything you'd hope it sounded like.
COUNTDOWN TO OBLIVION "DISCOGRAPHY" LP (A389)
This collection compiles COUNTDOWN TO OBLIVION's entire 16 track recorded output including the demo tape, EP and the split 7" w/They Live. CTO was from Toronto and they played metallic hardcore featuring Chris Colohan (Left For Dead/The Swarm/Cursed/etc) on vocals alongside members of Legion DCLXVI, One Blood, Rammer and Brutal Knights. Packaged in a gatefold cover/additional insert with tons of photos, flyers, lyrics and liner notes by Chris Colohan. Comes with a digital download card!!!
CONCRETE SOX "YOUR TURN NEXT" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
CONCRETE SOX hailed from Nottingham and were one of the pioneers of the whole UK Hardcore punk/thrash scene in the mid 80s. Now their debut album “Your Turn Next” is made available again in conjunction with the bands own Soxcore label.
CONCRETE SOX "WHOOPS SORRY VICAR!" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
CONCRETE SOX hailed from Nottingham and were one of the pioneers of the whole UK Hardcore punk/thrash scene in the mid 80s. Now their second album “Whoops Sorry Vicar” is made available again in conjunction with the bands own Soxcore label.
SPERMBIRDS "SOMETHING TO PROVE" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
The term "classic hardcore punk album" must be one of the most overused phrases, but in the case of the SPERMBIRDS legendary debut album from 1986, its more than valid. Hailing from Kaiserslauten and featuring ex US serviceman Lee Hollis on vocals, the debut SPERMBIRDS album was fast and furious punk rock influenced by US hardcore bands such as BLACK FLAG, 7 SECONDS and ANGRY SAMOANS. Mainland Europe's most successful hardcore band are still going strong 25 years on, and "Something To Prove" remains the starting point / first port of call to anyone checking out the band. Now this classic is available again on orange vinyl, and is repressed using the original metalwork and artwork from the We Bite original pressing!
HERESY "1985-1987" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
Heresy is one of the most influential UK Hardcore Punk bands ever to exist. From 1985-1989 the band were one of the leading lights of the rapidly expanding UK scene. Heresy’s back catalogue has been totally re-mastered by Kalv Piper and Steve “Baz” Ballam from the band and “1985-87” is the first of a trilogy of discographies that Boss Tuneage has released (along with Face Up To It and 20 Reasons to End It All). This traces the early formative years of the band, from their previously unreleased 7 song demo tape from 1985 to the debut 6 track “Never Healed” flexi-disc 7”EP and contains the virtually-impossible-to –find 4 song “Thanks” 7” EP. In addition 2 previously unreleased tracks complete the 19 track album. With extensive sleeve notes from Kalv, the repackeged vinyl version (available again for the first time in three years) features tons of never seen before photos, tour posters and lyrics. An absolute must for any fan of Heresy or UK hardcore.
HERESY "20 REASONS TO END IT ALL" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
Heresy is one of the most influential UK Hardcore Punk bands ever to exist. From 1985-1989 the band were one of the leading lights of the rapidly expanding UK scene. Heresy’s back catalogue has been totally re-mastered by Kalv Piper and Steve “Baz” Ballam from the band and “20 Reasons to End it All” is the final installment of a trilogy of discographies that Boss Tuneage has released (along with 1985-1987 and Face Up To It). It traces the final year of the band’s history and compiles the “Whose Generation” 7”, the “13 Rocking Anthems” LP (featuring their second and third sessions for the legendary John Peel Show) as well as the ultra rare “Live At Leeds” 7” tracks taken from the bands final ever show. In essence, this release is an absolute must for any fan of HERESY or UK Hardcore to complete their collection.
HERESY "FACE UP TO IT" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
Heresy is one of the most influential UK Hardcore Punk bands ever to exist. From 1985-1989 the band were one of the leading lights of the rapidly expanding UK scene. Heresy’s back catalogue has been totally re-mastered by Kalv Piper and Steve “Baz” Ballam from the band and “Face Up To It” is the second of a trilogy of discographies that Boss Tuneage has released (along with 1985-1987 and 20 Reasons to End It All). This was the bands one and only album of which over 10,000 copies were pressed and sold throughout the world upon its release in 1988. This re-issue also contains a bonus 11 songs taken from pre-studio home demos/rehearsals recorded prior to the album which are the first time these archive recordings have been released. The album is almost unrecognisable from in its new, digitally re-mastered version sounding a hundred times better than it ever has done before – and the best it will ever sound! Compiled with extensive sleeve notes from Kalv from the band, the repaclaged vinyl also contains dozens of unseen photos, tour posters and lyrics.
VIOLENT ARREST "TOOTH AND NAIL" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
Featuring 75% of the line up of UK hardcore punk legends RIPCORD, you know already that VIOLENT ARREST will not disappoint. This, their fifth release (early releases came out on US labels Deranged and Grave Mistake) is the follow up to last years stunning “Minute Manifestos” (voted one of the best releases of 2010 by punk bible Maximum rocknRoll) and thunders through 10 brand new tracks – nine raging new original slabs of passionate , energetic, no nonsense hardcore punk – as well as their cover version of THE JAGS new wave power pop classic “Back of My Hand”!!
PELIGRO SOCIAL "NO RELIGION" LP (TANKCRIMES)
Rousing pissed off San Francisco high energy melodic punk en Español. Mind bendingly catchy and anthemic. These 10 songs have a sound similar to classic 80’s Spanish punk bands with even more fire and rockin’ guitar leads. Originally released in 2006 this LP has been re-cut and reissued due to popular demand. Now on colored vinyl including digital download card. ‘77, ‘82, '06, '12, punk rock is timeless when it’s this good, an instant classic.
VITAMIN X "ABOUT TO CRACK" LP (TANKCRIMES)
Dutch Punk Hardcore veterans VITAMIN X return with their 5th album. Lightning fast, solid tight crossover/hardcore and turbocharged thrash-filled with killer hooks and choruses. Wicked guitar solos and massive rock licks while never slowing down. Recorded by Steve Albini with cover art by John Dyer Baizley.
DINOSAUR JR. "I BET ON SKY" LP (JAGJAGUWAR)
I Bet on Sky is the third Dinosaur Jr. album since the original trio – J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph – reformed in 2005. And, crazily, it marks the band's 10th studio album since their debut on Homestead Records in 1985. Back in the '80s, if anyone has suggested that these guys would be performing and recording at such a high level 27 years later, they would have been laughed out of the tree fort. The trio's early shows were so full of sonic chaos, such a weird blend of aggression and catatonia that we all assumed they would flame out fast. But the joke was on us. The trio has taken everything they've learned from the various projects they tackled over the years, and poured it directly into their current mix. J's guitar approaches some of its most unhinged playing here, but there's a sense of instrumental control that matches the sweet murk of his vocals (not that he always remembers to exercise control on stage, but that's another milieu). This is head-bobbing riff-romance at the apex. Lou's basswork shows a lot more melodicism now as well, although his two songs on I Bet on Sky retain the jagged rhythmic edge that has so often marked his work. And Murph...well, he still pounds the drums as hard and as strong as a pro wrestler, with deceptively simple structures that manage to interweave themselves perfectly with his bandmates' melodic explosions. After submerging myself in I Bet on Sky, it's clear that the album is a true and worthy addition to the Dinosaur Jr. discography.
CONFUSE "INDIGNATION" LP (NOISE NOT MUSIC)
Ultra-raw noisy thrash is the word for the most widely loved Japanese HC band ever! Their 1984 'Indignation' demos, now available on vinyl again in all their unprecedented brutality. Comes with a printed inner sleeve.
RUDIMENTARY PENI "DEATH CHURCH" LP (NOISE NOT MUSIC)
Long awaited reissue for this anarcho-punk/death-rock classic. Rudimentary Peni emerged from the British anarcho-punk scene in the early 1980s. Lead singer/guitarist Nick Blinko is notorious for his witty macabre lyrics and dark pen-and-ink artwork, prominently featured on all of Rudimentary Peni's albums. Desperate (and mostly autobiographical) lyrics, astounding goth-styled riffings, a horrific tone throughout this entire one-of-a-kind post punk classic. Includes printed inner sleeve with lyrics.
ZYANOSE "INSANE NOISE RAID" LP (WHISPER IN DARKNESS)
The first and long awaited full length release from Osaka's Zyanose! Having spent time in such Japanese noise punk heroes as Defuse and Defector, and with 2 7"s and a number of demos along the way, Zyanose erupt with 9 noise-philia-cruster tracks of ear splitting distortion and detonation drums. Questioning the "Seven Deadly Sins of Nightmare" and general distrust as the roots of their lyrical onslaught underneath the twin bass cacophony and feedback, this brings noise-core to new vistas of chaos and aural destruction.
PICTURE FRAME SEDUCTION "HAND OF THE RIDER" LP (QUEER PILLS)
Picture Frame Seduction (PFS) is a hardcore punk band from Haverfordwest, Wales. The band's influences included their peers of the day, Charged GBH and Discharge. With many other bands of the time like The Varukers, they helped develop the hardcore punk scene in the United Kingdom in the early to mid 1980’s. This LP Features 7” bonus tracks from their 7”. First time reissued on vinyl classic U.K. punk hardcore, first press of 500.
ESKORBUTO "YA NO QUEDAN MAS COJONES..." LP (MUNSTER)
Reissue of this 1986 cassette by Eskorbuto, one of the most influential punk bands in the Spanish and Latin American scenes. Its original release was part of their campaign to enter the Spanish general elections as a political party. They didn't achieve it but the songs here told more truths that any political speech.
GOVERNMENT ISSUE "BEST OF GOVERNMENT ISSUE" LP (MYSTIC)
Government Issue hails from Washington, D.C. The band is considered to be a founding member of the DC scene. With the intense musical energy and the wacky antics of Jon Stabb, often called "The Clowned Prince of Punk," they developed a loyal following on the East Coast. After seeing a Mystic display in a D. C. record store and knowing Mystic was strong in California, they called Doug Moody, and he brought them to Hollywood to record and introduced them to the West Coast. This record is a combination of the "Give Us Stabb" studio EP and live recordings made across the U. S. It is an excellent sampler of their strongest material. The live recordings were recorded multi-track and later mixed in the studio. The Best of Government Issue release is part of the Mystic 2010 Collectors Series. Even with the collectability of the series, it is still priced to move and is a must-have for anyone who collects Mystic. 22 Songs.
CONFUSE "NUCLEAR ADDICTS" 7" (FANCLUB)
Known as one of the essential groups of Japanese hardcore throughout the 1980s, Confuse has long been a favorite for those who desire their hardcore overloaded with sheer intensity. Light years ahead of their contemporaries when it came to chaotic, raw, distorted, and blindingly noisy sounds, ranking right them beside fellow heavyweights GISM and GAUZE. Originally recorded in 1984 and issued as a Japanese-only flexi, this EP documents the first studio recordings of Confuse. This EP is an absolute classic noisecore record; abrasive rough buzzsaw thrash that took UK hardcore groups like DISORDER & CHAOS UK as a starting point, but then brought it to a whole new extreme level. This 7 song 7” EP is pressed on red vinyl with custom printed labels to resemble the original flexi. Comes packaged in a high quality glued sleeve that faithfully reproduces the original stark black & white artwork. Limited edition of 500 copies worldwide.
VICTIMS "NO THANKS TO THE HUMAN TURD" 7" (FANCLUB)
The Victims was a punk band from Perth, Western Australia, active in 1977-79. Fanclub pressing of their second single! Five songs of raw, wild Australian punk rock and roll
RAMONES "CARBONA NOT GLUE" 7" (FANCLUB)
Originally pressed to look like a SUB POP single, this is a more recent pressing of this fanclub single. Carbona Not Glue b/w I Can't Be. Comes with insert and sticker!
GG ALLIN AND THE JABBERS "FOR THOSE WHO CAN TAKE IT RAW" 7" (FANCLUB)
Fanclub single. Features FOR THOSE WHO CAN TAKE IT RAW / CHERI LOVE AFFAIR / GG ALLIN INTERVIEW / 1980'S ROCK N ROLL.
SCREAMERS "PUNISH OR BE DAMNED" 7" (FANCLUB)
Killer SCREAMERS single live 1978 at the Masque. Punish or be Damned / Vertigo (Let's Go) / Magazine Love / Peer Pressure.
ZERO DEFEX (aka 0DFX) "WAR HERO - 1983 DEMO" 7" (GET REVENGE)
A couple of stock copies of this reissue from a few years back! ZERO DEFEX (aka 0DFX) were a hardcore punk band from CLEVELAND, OH in the early 80s. This is their 1983 Demo pressed onto 7" by GET REVENGE as a part of their "DEMOlition Series", and apparently only 200-300 copies were pressed! 0DFx appeared on the Ohio-based punk rock compilation, The New Hope and on the nationally released P.E.A.C.E./War compilation.
BAYONET "2ND DEMO 21/9-1983" 7" (FANCLUB)
Stock copies! Fanclub reissue from I believe 2007 ... Propaganda-era early Finnish HC from '83. Their raw and brutal demo put to vinyl. Great.
INTEGRITY "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN" 7" (A389)
20th Anniversary collection of various tracks Integrity recorded in 1992 with David Nicholi Araca on drums before his untimely passing.
BILL BONDSMEN "NINETEEN" 7" (SELF RELEASED)
Latest single from this Detroit HC/punk band, and as on their last, excellent single their sound has really progressed to something unique, intense, and interesting. "Nineteen" is a mid-paced stomper, but unlike a lot of bands who try to write a mid-paced song, Bill Bondsmen don't dial down the complexity at all... the riff has that quirky Die Kreuzen-ish flair to it that I loved about their last single, but harnesses it toward a different, creepier energy. For those with a need for speed, the b-side punks things up with a bit faster and more traditional hardcore song. As with their previous single, this is very limited and features a hand-screened sleeve.
OCCULT DETECTIVE CLUB "ALRIGHT GENTLEMEN" 7" (DIRT CULT)
Nervous powerpop from Denton by people who have brought you bands like Maaster Gaiden, Stymie, and A.N.S. This new 7″ follows two LPs (one on Alive and one on Red Lounge) and a split 10″ with Something Fierce (Dirtnap). Fucking great stuff!
KING TUFF "SCREAMING SKULL" 7" (SUB POP)
LA-via-Vermont garage/powerpop wunderkind King Tuff presents two brand new, non-album tracks, hot on the heels of his acclaimed self-titled LP. “Screaming Skull” is a club-ready, guitar-driven dance hit, and “Love Potion” is a glammed-up rock anthem in classic King Tuff form.
KING TUFF "S/T" LP (SUB POP)
King Tuff is the new record from King Tuff—his first for Sub Pop and his second album overall. Was Dead, King Tuff’s 2008 debut, captured the attention of the rock underground and quickly blew through its limited pressing (it now resides on ebay, being snatched up for hearty sums). His gem of a new album was produced by Bobby Harlow, of The Go and Conspiracy of Owls, and recorded during a furious two-week run in Detroit. And Bobby has the following, among a great many other things, to say about it: “After investigating Was Dead I realized that, with his latest offering, King Tuff’s songwriting was stretching far beyond the thrill of the immediate dance-floor reflex and now revealed a songwriter with a keen eye inside everyone. That was the stuff that I was interested in. Embarrass me! I don’t give a fuck about your ex-girlfriend. We’ve created something here. King Tuff should not be inspected or even listened to with critical ears. Cut your ears off. Rock & Roll is meant to be blasted into your cells, penetrated, and absorbed. It’s a visceral experience. Seek solace in solitude when you’re dead. If you aren’t able to recognize the genius in this epic album, then you’re already dead. Kill yourself. Or get a job. Your choice." Please do not really cut off your ears or kill yourself. These are rhetorical devices meant to convey some variation on the following: King Tuff might just save your life AND your ears. All hail the King.
HUNX "HAIRDRESSER BLUES" LP (HARDLY ART)
Hairdresser Blues is the first solo record from front man Hunx, and features all Hunx, all the time (minus drums, played by Daniel Pitout). Listen in as Hunx sings on about love, hairspray, and rollers, all backed by contagious pop melodies with streaks of glam, garage, and the Dunedin Sound in its hair. Recorded with Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & the Voidoids) in NY. All LPs include a download code.
HOLY SHIT "K.B.D.O.O.P." 10" (CRIMINAL IQ)
Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! have conquered the 10" format! Angry from the gut art-smash punk. A killer record that should be listened to again and again and again.
CATBURGLARS "S/T" LP (CRIMINAL IQ)
Two singles out on tooth decay and cowabunga, this band kinda straddles the FC/rock n roll punk styles with Dictators style mongo-punk.
CLAW TOE "S/T" LP (CRIMINAL IQ)
Claw Toe are back with a brand new 12" EP!! Primitive and rythmic, Claw Toe sound like arty Troggs fans armed with a synthesizer. Mixing up a few styles of early punk and post-punk ala Joy Division with a rawer dirtier sound Claw Toe sound unique and pretty fucking bombastic. The Boris Karloff style vocal delivery combines with subtle humour and stylish "noir" moments that fit nicely with their druggy throb. Recommended if you like - The Stranglers, Tall Boys, Alice Cooper, Killing Joke, Metal Urbain, Ministry, Bauhaus, Chrome, Stooges, Toy Dolls.
OBITS "MOODY, STANDARD AND POOR" LP (SUB POP)
The answer to the question, “Are Obits ‘indie rock veterans’?” is yes and no. Yes, they are accomplished musicians who once fronted Drive Like Jehu, Edsel, Hot Snakes, and Pitchfork. But also; No, they are not active or retired members of the United States military. It’s good to get these things sorted out. Don’t worry—there are no dumb questions. What of Obits’ new record? Well, for starters, it’s their second full-length, and it’s called Moody, Standard and Poor. It was recorded at Brooklyn’s Saltlands Studio by Eli Janney and Geoff Sanoff. Sub Pop will release it on March 29, 2011. And how will Moody, Standard and Poor make you feel? The short answer is: great. Not Smoking-An-Eightball-Of-Coke great. But Alive-To-New-Listening Experiences great. The long answer is that these twelve songs will take you on a series of emotional road trips. Some will be as brief as a walk to the fridge. Others will be epic pilgrimages to the shady hinterlands of your subconscious. Great records can do this. Moody, Standard and Poor is no exception.
BABIES, THE "CRY ALONG WITH..." 12" (NEW IMAGES)
"Side-projects are notoriously short-lived; the world doesn’t have enough fingers and toes to count all the talented members of bands that come together, play a show, release a demo, and then disappear entirely. This isn’t the case for the Babies, the brain child of Cassie Ramone (Vivian Girls) and Kevin Morby (Woods). Separating the members of the Babies, we have a group of respectable musicians with equally great bands, but when they come together a musical child, part noise, fuzz, pop, and indie, is born. Their latest release, Cry Along With the Babies, is a 12” record of demos recorded between 2010-2011, via New Images (Real Estate and Ducktails’ Matt Mondanile’s label). The 12” is best suited for a true fan of the Babies, or a lover of all things lo-fi. And when I say lo-fi, I mean some serious low fidelity. Cry Along With the Babies crackles and buzzes like a true demo should. Then again, why would we expect anything less of the Babies and Matt Mondanile? Both are notorious for lo-fi production and bare-boned, rootsy recordings. It opens with “Big Mercedes,” a classic boy/girl duet with Ramone’s signature vocal style and Morby’s love-sick cries. Hardcore Babies’ fans will be interested in taking a listen to “Hey Mama”, the skeleton to what would eventually become “Sick Kid” on their self-titled LP. Other songs included on Cry Along play out like rough jam sessions between Morby and Ramone, in which you can clearly hear how well they flow together despite the fact that these are rough demos. It might not be for everyone. If you’re looking for a high quality produced 12” with a sense of direction, then you’re out of luck. If you want to take a peek into the writing process of best friends, making humble and catchy music together, then you can’t get anything better than Cry Along With the Babies." - getbent.fm
FILTHPACT / KANSALAISTOTTELEMATTOMUUS - SPLIT 7" (CHAOS RURALE)
New split 7" between Filthpact crusty grinding from Scotland. who reformed in 2010 after breaking up back in 2007 now they are back to continue where they left off playing thier Total Crust Violence and coinciding this split with Kansalaistottelemattomuus to match their tour of Finland together, Kansalaistottelemattomuus; come from Finland bring a Scadinavaian hardcore sound mixed with anarcho spirit of a familiar sound of Oi Polloi which may come as no surprise with Deek from Oi Polloi on vocals.
DEKODER "BETWEEN THE WAKING AND THE DYING" LP (CHAOS RURALE)
8 songs debut LP for this female fronted post punk band from Montreal. CVLT Nation's placed their last year demo amongst one of the six best releases of 2011 in their category "positive punk / deathrock". Come with a nice 11”x17” poster as well as a download card. Members have played in Born Dead Icons, Complications, Ballast and Preying Hands.
BONEBLACK "S/T" LP (CHAOS RURALE)
8 tracks of relentless darkened crust hailing from deathchurch in montreal. This debut LP skillfully runs the gambit of crushing mid tempo punishment to raging d-beat all in one track.
FACIALS "S/T" LP (CHAOS RURALE)
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.
PROTESTANT "RECLAMATION" LP (CHAOS RURALE)
"Here's the latest release from Milwaulkee, WI's Protestant. Protestant have been consistently churning out their brand of blackened, metallic, and crust influenced hardcore since 2004. The band has been a powerhouse of sorts and have released an impressive output of music in their eight year's existence. The band has continually impressed me with the quality of music they've put out so far, and their latest 12" is no exception. Reclamation is set to drop at the end of the month, September 21st, to be exact. Reclamation is a five song 12" that runs a little under twenty minutes. For the band, Reclamation is an evolution of sorts and shows Protestant veering slightly away from their crust leanings found on the band's earlier releases. Protestant have embraced more of a metallic sound this time around, but have done so in a way that does not take away from the aggressiveness of the band's sound. Musically, these five new songs are still dark, venomous, and brutal as fuck. All I know is this band does not fail to impress me and I always look forward to new material from the band. Highly recommended! Enjoy!" - elementaryrevolt.blogspot.com
OBLIVIONATION - DEMO TAPE
OBLIVIONATION is a new band from Massachusetts, with ex-members of Out Cold (among many others). Fans of Out Cold will definitely not be disappointed, as this carries the tradition of no frills straight forward angry hardcore. Limited to 200 copies with re-designed cover art on pro duplicated white cassettes, with printed sticker labels.
CIDER "ZOMBIE PROOF SESSIONS" TAPE (NONCOMMERCIAL)
Latest release from those fruits in CIDER. 2nd and last pressing of 100 blue cassettes. Has 13 tracks total including the most recent 7 inch plus never recorded songs, covers and alternative versions of other songs. This was recorded as a duo on an old analog tape machine. Get one before the shit is gone!
PARTY PLATES - TAPE (NONCOMMERCIAL)
A new band featuring members of Inmates, Cider, Boulder, Puncture Wound, Sockeye, No Peace blah blah. More on the 80's metal side of hardcore. The band has been compared to GISM, Amebix, Hellhammer, Venom etc. 4 tracks that will shred your tits off!
DARVOCETS "ARE NEW WAVE" TAPE (NONCOMMERCIAL)
This is the Darvocets 3rd and last release for the band. This is simply a cassette version of the 12 inch with 6 songs about conspiracies and government cover ups. This is the weirdest one yet. Only 100 of these made!
INTENT "NO RULES" DEMO TAPE
New late-80s NYHC-styled band out of Boston/DC. Limited pro-dubbed demo cassette tapes. Get them while they last.
CLITBOYS - DISCOGRAPHY TAPE
Official reissue! "Discography tape from this highly underrated Wisconsin HC band from the early 80s. Includes their We Don't Play the Game EP as well as their Detour demo tape, as well as an insert with posters, flyers, and other ephemera. I've always loved this band's sound as it couldn't be more simple really, but everything so so stripped-down and direct that it just sticks in your head... sort of like an even more raw and rudimentary version of Minor Threat. Early HC heads should definitely have this one in their collection in some way, shape, or form." - sorrystaterecords.com
BIG EYES "HARD LIFE" TAPE (DIRT CULT)
Debut full length from Big Eyes! Ramones and Muffs inspired punk rock from NJ with former members of Cheeky and Kicking Spit. Here's a nice review from Razorcake: Give this record one listen, just one listen, and I promise you will be hooked on Big Eyes. Featuring tons of wailing and noodling guitars by guitarist/vocalist Kate Eldridge, and backed by the solid rhythm section of CJ Frederick and Mark Bronzino on drums and bass respectively, the result is a collection of some of the catchiest tunes I’ve heard in a long time. Tracks, like “Your Lies,” and “I Know You’re Wrong,” have a frantic energy and tons of guitar leads, but the band also gets slow and meandering as in the tracks “Different than I Thought,” and “Why Can’t I?” Floating at the perfect point in the middle of the mix of all these songs are Kate’s hard-edged vocals, singing, and occasionally screaming, about love, loss, and attraction. While I can say that I hear influences ranging from ‘60s rock, and ‘70s punk and surf, simple genre descriptions only sell this band short. Their sound captures the best of rock music from several decades, in a way that can only be described as timeless.
EXEQUALS "SEEING GREY" TAPE
"Ripping stripped down garage hardcore from two dudes separated by distance and adulthood, but determined to still make punk happen. These six songs are bombastic assaults, pissed hardcore punk with hooks, but without compromising intensity. "Set Me Free" kick in after two break neck numbers and gives EXEQUALS a street punk tinge that works perfectly with their feisty hc attack, a vibe that is furthered with the MOTORHEAD meets '90s basement punk feel of "Why Not Now." This is music played by people who know exactly what they are doing and it's wrapped up in a package that commands your attention before you even get the tape into the deck. Killer jams, let's hope they move out of the stuido and into the basement sooner rather than later" - MAXIMUMROCKNROLL
EXEQUALS "HOME RECORDINGS VOL. 1" TAPE
Newest cassette offering from this hc punk garage project out of PA. A collection of songs recorded in the "Dave Cave" at home in Central PA.

We also have Canadian punks with an edgy twist OHMWAR, Bay Area post-punk enthusiasts SYNTHETIC ID; Finnish garage lady-rockers the SPLITS, and Brazil’s old-school USHC skaters O INIMIGO. Plus, of course, the most extensive reviews in punk and all the columnists you love to hate!
ASEPTIC ZINE - ISSUE #1
Aseptic Zine, Vol 1 outta PDX!!! Interviews with MODERAT LIKVIDATION, NOMAD and LASTLY! Killer cut and paste layout, 8.5” x 5.5” 20pgs
GENERAL SPEECH OMNIBUS #1 - ZINE
Compiled works of the first four issues of this great new half-size fanzine from the same editor that brought us EVIL MINDED. Tom's new zine, GENERAL SPEECH, was previously only available through trades but has now been made available in omnibus (compilation) format. Includes very well done, in-depth, and PUNK interviews with INSERVIBLES, DEATH DUST EXTRACTOR, BELLICOSE MINDS, THE DECAY, NO FUCKER, TEARGAS, DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE, and NO FUCKER plus tons more! Rare pictures of DEATH SIDE too! A top notch zine collected in this half size omnibus at almost 60 pages!

Also includes tons of writing on everything from Antidote to Throbbing Gristle! Features a center spread collage/poster from Crazy Spirit's Sam Ryser.
STITCHES IN MY HEAD - ISSUE #4 ZINE

Expect tons of reviews, photos, and writing, including a close look at the recent Hank Wood & The Hammerheads LP. Includes an 11"x17" poster drawn by Lea from Cleveland. Ace!

NUTS #10 - ZINE
This zine is just insane. Issue #10 is consists of another set of HUGE newsprint posters, this time with more writing incorporated. We get an amazing GRASS WIDOW poster with bio on the backside, show reviews and photography of new Olympia groups like ADJUSTMENT TO SOCIETY, DICK BINGE, GRIMACE, and SPIRITUAL WARRIORS, another review of a classic FARTZ show that ended in a riot, more writing, a second psychotic poster by Danny/Forced Laugh, and the jewel of this issue (I think) - an extremely detailed and visually arresting scene report/poster from the SILENZIO STATICO/LA RAW PONX. Prepare to have your mind blown and your fingers covered in black ink!
CANNABIS CORPSE "BENEATH GROW LIGHTS THOU SHALT RISE" CD (TANKCRIMES)
Following in the tradition laid down by their earlier releases, each song on the record is inspired by a classic death metal track - this time around, Morbid Angel and Deicide are getting the Cannabis treatment! Tongue-in-cotton-mouthed-cheek titles like “Lunatic of Pot’s Creation” and “Immortal Pipes” keep the party rolling, but don’t be fooled: CANNABIS CORPSE are not a joke band. Sure, they’ll fire up a bowl and chug a beer, but then they’ll rip your face off with a brutal old-school death metal assault, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the seeds of the genre first began to grow. With a European invasion slated for August/September and many a nefarious scheme looming on the horizon, the ‘Corpse have only begun to burn.
ANS "PRESSURE CRACKS" CD (TANKCRIMES)
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.

WEBSTORE UPDATE 11.09.2012
After hitting you with updates three weeks in a row last month, I figured it was time for a break so I've been laying low for a while. That, and the fact that I've been a bit under the weather for the past two weeks ... things have been moving a little bit slower over here at GMHQ but I'm slowly getting back on track! A pretty bangin' update this week as a result of things piling up so hopefully you can make it through because there is a lot of good stuff here!
Before I get to the webstore talk, two quick things; First - expect a FULL Grave Mistake update next week - I'll let you in on what we have in store for the remainder of 2012, as well as a pretty sweet run down of what you can expect in 2013. I know I've been promising a full update for a while now, but I assure you the wait is almost over. Second - BIG EYES are currently a week into their full US tour with CA's AUDACITY! You can check the dates below. We were able to get a few rushed copies of repressing of their Demo 7" that should hopefully be out next month on Grave Mistake / Evil Weevil, and they also have a brand new split single with AUDACITY as well! If that wasn't enough, although these won't be available on this tour, they also have a split 7" with MEAN JEANS in the works (on DIRTNAP RECORDS), and a new LP in the pipes for the beginning of 2013!!! More on that later ... but check em out if they hit your town!
Now on to the webstore ...

NEW IN THE WEBSTORE FOR 11/9/12:
BI MARKS "SLEEPER" 7" (BLACKWATER)
Great follow up to their recent golden years LP. Three tracks of raging U.S. hardcore in the vein of Zero Boys with a touch of Black Sabbath and early Accused for good measure. The best kept secret in modern day U.S. hardcore punk and a refreshing change from the current state of American hardcore.
VAGINORS "TOTAL NONSENSE" 7" (VIDEO DISEASE)
If you haven't heard the Vaginors you are missing out on some of the catchiest, noisiest, and obnoxiously great noise punk happening in the world right now. Their LP absolutely blew me away and I knew I had to release something for them. This band is head and shoulders above ANY other noise punk band in the world right now. Absolutely GENIUS! Taking the elements of the Swankys to a whole new extreme, the guitar pump out incredibly noisy riffs while the drums and bass bounce around with some of the catchiest punk you've ever heard while the thick nasally OZ accent wails and flails his voice to new heights of ridiculousness. To match the absurdity of the music there will be FOUR colors of vinyl available for this release! Some will be exclusive to regions, but more details on that later. For now check out a sample track:
TRENCH ROT "TYRANT" 7" (VIDEO DISEASE)
Latest and greatest 7" from these So Cal HC warriors. Rejecting the more traditional d-beat approach the band injects a huge amount of early USHC influence into their Discharge-tinged riffs, bringing to mind trailblazers such as the legendary Poison Idea. They are not simply paying homage though, they are jumping out from the pack of trendy d-beat and rehash HC to bring a record with an incredibly powerful sound and incredibly catchy songs. On this recording they have stayed away from the "raw ponx" trend that is sweeping Los Angeles and instead opted for a brighter and cleaner recording to capture the power that these juggernauts have.
RAKOSI "OLASYLIZKA" 7" (LENGUA ARMADA)
Short, raging sounds all the way from Hungary. This is one tight, fucking record with no time for bullshit, to the point and aggressive as hell. You don’t speak Hungarian? It doesn’t matter, you will understand angst and fury no matter what tongue it is in. RAKOSI bring us their second ep on Lengua Armada and this shit kills. 500 pressed.
MASTERS APPRENTICES "UNDECIDED" 7" (UGLY POP)
Australia's legendary Masters Apprentices debuted with this superb 45 in November 1966, hitting hard with Undecided's raucous, early-Kinks-inspired punk R&B but truly achieving godhead with the flipside. Wars Or Hands Of Time is about as good as it gets, a sublime, driving garage-psych gem later to be immortalized on the Nuggets 2 boxset. Among my all-time top five or ten singles, and an absolute dream to reissue. High-quality pressing taken from the recent Aztec remaster, in full-colour jacket with all-new insert.
IN-SECT, THE "I CAN SEE MY LOVE" 7" (UGLY POP)
Prefering to release records in sets, it made perfect sense to couple the Masters reissue with this similarly brilliant classic Australian 45. Hailing from the same city of Adelaide, The In-Sect almost unbelievably released this sophomore single just a few months earlier, in August of '66. I Can See My Love is a stunning rush of '60s punk aggression, all streamlined attack powered by excellent high-speed drumming, piercing guitar and tough, commanding vocals. We've replaced the original's more commercially-minded flip with a wild take on the timeless Yardbirds hit. High-quality pressing from proper master and new picture sleeve.
CONQUEST FOR DEATH "ONE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS" 7" (TANKCRIMES)
Fast, manic hardcore punk! New album coming soon on Tankcrimes - this EP is limited to 300 copies on muddled purple/greyblack vinyl with a nice little obi strip - get one now!
ESCAVELS "YOU SHOULD KNOW" 7" (ALONAS DREAM)
The Escavels bridge the gap between The Ravens (see: ADR 7 001) (They even shared some members!) and the legendary Chicago garage punks The Things To Come. They were considered the teen heartthrobs (surely not more than the Ravens!?) of the west suburban Chicagoland dance scene and actually won the Talented Teen Contest in ’65! Some Escavels members went on to some pretty heavy gigs: from garage legends (Things To Come) to major label blues n’ boogie bands (Pacific Gas & Electric) to cult psychedelic albums (McDonald & Sherby), their influence might surprise you.
PENETRATORS,THE "TEENAGE LIFESTYLE" 7" (WINDIAN)
A project we took on with a head of steam was the PENETRATORS. re-issuing their first single last summer, we will also continue to release the amazing singles they dropped in Syracuse, NY more than 30 years ago. Teenage Lifestyle / Rock n Roll face was the bands 2nd release in 1979, and comprises heavier stones/nuggets thuggish bashers and heated vox from spike and jack and the gang. Includes fred records promo sticker on the back sleeve just as the original did in ’79. mp3 card included.
PENETRATORS, THE "GOTTA HAVE HER" 7" (WINDIAN)
Syracuse’s only, #1 Band in Town, the Kings of Basement Rock…THE PENETRATORS! WINDIAN is extremely proud to be releasing the first of many re-issues and previously un-released 45′s from these seminal 70′s garage / punk rockers. This is the single that started it all, the single that started FRED RECORDS, “Gotta Have Her B/W Baby, Dontcha Tell Me” 45. Released in 1976 on the bands own imprint, the A-side “Gotta Have Her” is a sleek groover, kidnapped from the ROLLING STONES and beaten savagely by NUGGET-ERA bashers. The B-side’s “Baby, Dontcha Tell Me” possesses all the cocksure swagger sound of early rock and roll that THE PENETRATORS perfected instantly.
CHINESE BURNS "CALCULATOR" 7" (WINDIAN)
It’s been a year or so since CHINESE BURNS [Melbourne, Australia] released their last 45, two years since ‘CAN DIG’ 7″ and the wait is totally worth it. You might remember them from a featured interview with TERMINAL BOREDOM. You might remember you have one of your favorite 7″s in your collection from these guys. This is a one-up. The latest effort features 4 tracks of broken feverish Garage Punk, from beginning to end, A to B, this 7″ is effortlessly complete. ‘Kiss Fist’ was featured on the WINDIAN SUMMER COMPILATION, and was a favored track among the voices that actually got the CD.
DEAD PEOPLE "FEEL THE LIGHT" 7" (WINDIAN)
Hailing from Gnarlins, Dead People were born on the bayou in the dusk of 2010 when members of Nü Orleans’ The Bellys and The Dives, joined forces. Within a week they debuted their dual-guitar, dual-vox, dual songwriting duel at the Big Sleazy’s Saturn Bar. Since then, Dude People’s blossomed and flower-powered into an explosive live-act, a true tour de force. Their debut 4 track 7″ Lo-Fi art damaged Garage Psych Punk. Loud beating, brash guitar treatments, and harsh heated vox punish your ears in the way we all enjoy.
SWEET SIXTEENS, THE "SUBMARINE" 7" (WINDIAN)
Second single from these party punkers outta Lafayette Indiana [aka Party City U.S.A.], The Sweet Sixteens! Two supremely Lo-Fi KeyTard synth poppers, sure to keep you in the red. Tracks good enough to weird out your biker dad and keep you in with the sweet ladies. Very fun, OK?

The Mr. California side features the classic song "Smokin' Crack" and a hilarious electronic version of a Flyin' Trichecos song that is out of this world.

SPERMBIRDS "SOMETHING TO PROVE" LP (BOSS TUNEAGE)
The term "classic hardcore punk album" must be one of the most overused phrases, but in the case of the SPERMBIRDS legendary debut album from 1986, its more than valid. Hailing from Kaiserslauten and featuring ex US serviceman Lee Hollis on vocals, the debut SPERMBIRDS album was fast and furious punk rock influenced by US hardcore bands such as BLACK FLAG, 7 SECONDS and ANGRY SAMOANS. Mainland Europe's most successful hardcore band are still going strong 25 years on, and "Something To Prove" remains the starting point / first port of call to anyone checking out the band.

VITAMIN X "ABOUT TO CRACK" LP (TANKCRIMES)

Wicked guitar solos and massive rock licks while never slowing down. Recorded by Steve Albini with cover art by John Dyer Baizley.
DINOSAUR JR. "I BET ON SKY" LP (JAGJAGUWAR)
I Bet on Sky is the third Dinosaur Jr. album since the original trio – J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph – reformed in 2005. And, crazily, it marks the band's 10th studio album since their debut on Homestead Records in 1985. Back in the '80s, if anyone has suggested that these guys would be performing and recording at such a high level 27 years later, they would have been laughed out of the tree fort. The trio's early shows were so full of sonic chaos, such a weird blend of aggression and catatonia that we all assumed they would flame out fast. But the joke was on us. The trio has taken everything they've learned from the various projects they tackled over the years, and poured it directly into their current mix. J's guitar approaches some of its most unhinged playing here, but there's a sense of instrumental control that matches the sweet murk of his vocals (not that he always remembers to exercise control on stage, but that's another milieu). This is head-bobbing riff-romance at the apex. Lou's basswork shows a lot more melodicism now as well, although his two songs on I Bet on Sky retain the jagged rhythmic edge that has so often marked his work. And Murph...well, he still pounds the drums as hard and as strong as a pro wrestler, with deceptively simple structures that manage to interweave themselves perfectly with his bandmates' melodic explosions. After submerging myself in I Bet on Sky, it's clear that the album is a true and worthy addition to the Dinosaur Jr. discography.
CONFUSE "INDIGNATION" LP (NOISE NOT MUSIC)
Ultra-raw noisy thrash is the word for the most widely loved Japanese HC band ever! Their 1984 'Indignation' demos, now available on vinyl again in all their unprecedented brutality. Comes with a printed inner sleeve.
RUDIMENTARY PENI "DEATH CHURCH" LP (NOISE NOT MUSIC)
Long awaited reissue for this anarcho-punk/death-rock classic. Rudimentary Peni emerged from the British anarcho-punk scene in the early 1980s. Lead singer/guitarist Nick Blinko is notorious for his witty macabre lyrics and dark pen-and-ink artwork, prominently featured on all of Rudimentary Peni's albums. Desperate (and mostly autobiographical) lyrics, astounding goth-styled riffings, a horrific tone throughout this entire one-of-a-kind post punk classic. Includes printed inner sleeve with lyrics.
ZYANOSE "INSANE NOISE RAID" LP (WHISPER IN DARKNESS)
The first and long awaited full length release from Osaka's Zyanose! Having spent time in such Japanese noise punk heroes as Defuse and Defector, and with 2 7"s and a number of demos along the way, Zyanose erupt with 9 noise-philia-cruster tracks of ear splitting distortion and detonation drums. Questioning the "Seven Deadly Sins of Nightmare" and general distrust as the roots of their lyrical onslaught underneath the twin bass cacophony and feedback, this brings noise-core to new vistas of chaos and aural destruction.
PICTURE FRAME SEDUCTION "HAND OF THE RIDER" LP (QUEER PILLS)
Picture Frame Seduction (PFS) is a hardcore punk band from Haverfordwest, Wales. The band's influences included their peers of the day, Charged GBH and Discharge.

ESKORBUTO "YA NO QUEDAN MAS COJONES..." LP (MUNSTER)
Reissue of this 1986 cassette by Eskorbuto, one of the most influential punk bands in the Spanish and Latin American scenes.

GOVERNMENT ISSUE "BEST OF GOVERNMENT ISSUE" LP (MYSTIC)
Government Issue hails from Washington, D.C. The band is considered to be a founding member of the DC scene. With the intense musical energy and the wacky antics of Jon Stabb, often called "The Clowned Prince of Punk," they developed a loyal following on the East Coast. After seeing a Mystic display in a D. C. record store and knowing Mystic was strong in California, they called Doug Moody, and he brought them to Hollywood to record and introduced them to the West Coast. This record is a combination of the "Give Us Stabb" studio EP and live recordings made across the U. S. It is an excellent sampler of their strongest material. The live recordings were recorded multi-track and later mixed in the studio. The Best of Government Issue release is part of the Mystic 2010 Collectors Series. Even with the collectability of the series, it is still priced to move and is a must-have for anyone who collects Mystic. 22 Songs.
CONFUSE "NUCLEAR ADDICTS" 7" (FANCLUB)
Known as one of the essential groups of Japanese hardcore throughout the 1980s, Confuse has long been a favorite for those who desire their hardcore overloaded with sheer intensity. Light years ahead of their contemporaries when it came to chaotic, raw, distorted, and blindingly noisy sounds, ranking right them beside fellow heavyweights GISM and GAUZE. Originally recorded in 1984 and issued as a Japanese-only flexi, this EP documents the first studio recordings of Confuse. This EP is an absolute classic noisecore record; abrasive rough buzzsaw thrash that took UK hardcore groups like DISORDER & CHAOS UK as a starting point, but then brought it to a whole new extreme level. This 7 song 7” EP is pressed on red vinyl with custom printed labels to resemble the original flexi. Comes packaged in a high quality glued sleeve that faithfully reproduces the original stark black & white artwork. Limited edition of 500 copies worldwide.

ZERO DEFEX (aka 0DFX) "WAR HERO - 1983 DEMO" 7" (GET REVENGE)
A couple of stock copies of this reissue from a few years back! ZERO DEFEX (aka 0DFX) were a hardcore punk band from CLEVELAND, OH in the early 80s. This is their 1983 Demo pressed onto 7" by GET REVENGE as a part of their "DEMOlition Series", and apparently only 200-300 copies were pressed! 0DFx appeared on the Ohio-based punk rock compilation, The New Hope and on the nationally released P.E.A.C.E./War compilation.
BAYONET "2ND DEMO 21/9-1983" 7" (FANCLUB)

INTEGRITY "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN" 7" (A389)
20th Anniversary collection of various tracks Integrity recorded in 1992 with David Nicholi Araca on drums before his untimely passing.
BILL BONDSMEN "NINETEEN" 7" (SELF RELEASED)
Latest single from this Detroit HC/punk band, and as on their last, excellent single their sound has really progressed to something unique, intense, and interesting. "Nineteen" is a mid-paced stomper, but unlike a lot of bands who try to write a mid-paced song, Bill Bondsmen don't dial down the complexity at all... the riff has that quirky Die Kreuzen-ish flair to it that I loved about their last single, but harnesses it toward a different, creepier energy. For those with a need for speed, the b-side punks things up with a bit faster and more traditional hardcore song. As with their previous single, this is very limited and features a hand-screened sleeve.
OCCULT DETECTIVE CLUB "ALRIGHT GENTLEMEN" 7" (DIRT CULT)
Nervous powerpop from Denton by people who have brought you bands like Maaster Gaiden, Stymie, and A.N.S. This new 7″ follows two LPs (one on Alive and one on Red Lounge) and a split 10″ with Something Fierce (Dirtnap). Fucking great stuff!
KING TUFF "SCREAMING SKULL" 7" (SUB POP)
LA-via-Vermont garage/powerpop wunderkind King Tuff presents two brand new, non-album tracks, hot on the heels of his acclaimed self-titled LP. “Screaming Skull” is a club-ready, guitar-driven dance hit, and “Love Potion” is a glammed-up rock anthem in classic King Tuff form.
KING TUFF "S/T" LP (SUB POP)
King Tuff is the new record from King Tuff—his first for Sub Pop and his second album overall. Was Dead, King Tuff’s 2008 debut, captured the attention of the rock underground and quickly blew through its limited pressing (it now resides on ebay, being snatched up for hearty sums). His gem of a new album was produced by Bobby Harlow, of The Go and Conspiracy of Owls, and recorded during a furious two-week run in Detroit. And Bobby has the following, among a great many other things, to say about it: “After investigating Was Dead I realized that, with his latest offering, King Tuff’s songwriting was stretching far beyond the thrill of the immediate dance-floor reflex and now revealed a songwriter with a keen eye inside everyone. That was the stuff that I was interested in. Embarrass me! I don’t give a fuck about your ex-girlfriend. We’ve created something here. King Tuff should not be inspected or even listened to with critical ears. Cut your ears off. Rock & Roll is meant to be blasted into your cells, penetrated, and absorbed. It’s a visceral experience. Seek solace in solitude when you’re dead. If you aren’t able to recognize the genius in this epic album, then you’re already dead. Kill yourself. Or get a job. Your choice." Please do not really cut off your ears or kill yourself. These are rhetorical devices meant to convey some variation on the following: King Tuff might just save your life AND your ears. All hail the King.
HUNX "HAIRDRESSER BLUES" LP (HARDLY ART)
Hairdresser Blues is the first solo record from front man Hunx, and features all Hunx, all the time (minus drums, played by Daniel Pitout). Listen in as Hunx sings on about love, hairspray, and rollers, all backed by contagious pop melodies with streaks of glam, garage, and the Dunedin Sound in its hair. Recorded with Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & the Voidoids) in NY. All LPs include a download code.
HOLY SHIT "K.B.D.O.O.P." 10" (CRIMINAL IQ)
Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! have conquered the 10" format! Angry from the gut art-smash punk. A killer record that should be listened to again and again and again.
CATBURGLARS "S/T" LP (CRIMINAL IQ)
Two singles out on tooth decay and cowabunga, this band kinda straddles the FC/rock n roll punk styles with Dictators style mongo-punk.
CLAW TOE "S/T" LP (CRIMINAL IQ)
Claw Toe are back with a brand new 12" EP!! Primitive and rythmic, Claw Toe sound like arty Troggs fans armed with a synthesizer. Mixing up a few styles of early punk and post-punk ala Joy Division with a rawer dirtier sound Claw Toe sound unique and pretty fucking bombastic. The Boris Karloff style vocal delivery combines with subtle humour and stylish "noir" moments that fit nicely with their druggy throb. Recommended if you like - The Stranglers, Tall Boys, Alice Cooper, Killing Joke, Metal Urbain, Ministry, Bauhaus, Chrome, Stooges, Toy Dolls.
OBITS "MOODY, STANDARD AND POOR" LP (SUB POP)
The answer to the question, “Are Obits ‘indie rock veterans’?” is yes and no. Yes, they are accomplished musicians who once fronted Drive Like Jehu, Edsel, Hot Snakes, and Pitchfork. But also; No, they are not active or retired members of the United States military. It’s good to get these things sorted out. Don’t worry—there are no dumb questions. What of Obits’ new record? Well, for starters, it’s their second full-length, and it’s called Moody, Standard and Poor. It was recorded at Brooklyn’s Saltlands Studio by Eli Janney and Geoff Sanoff. Sub Pop will release it on March 29, 2011. And how will Moody, Standard and Poor make you feel? The short answer is: great. Not Smoking-An-Eightball-Of-Coke great. But Alive-To-New-Listening Experiences great. The long answer is that these twelve songs will take you on a series of emotional road trips. Some will be as brief as a walk to the fridge. Others will be epic pilgrimages to the shady hinterlands of your subconscious. Great records can do this. Moody, Standard and Poor is no exception.
BABIES, THE "CRY ALONG WITH..." 12" (NEW IMAGES)
"Side-projects are notoriously short-lived; the world doesn’t have enough fingers and toes to count all the talented members of bands that come together, play a show, release a demo, and then disappear entirely. This isn’t the case for the Babies, the brain child of Cassie Ramone (Vivian Girls) and Kevin Morby (Woods). Separating the members of the Babies, we have a group of respectable musicians with equally great bands, but when they come together a musical child, part noise, fuzz, pop, and indie, is born. Their latest release, Cry Along With the Babies, is a 12” record of demos recorded between 2010-2011, via New Images (Real Estate and Ducktails’ Matt Mondanile’s label). The 12” is best suited for a true fan of the Babies, or a lover of all things lo-fi. And when I say lo-fi, I mean some serious low fidelity. Cry Along With the Babies crackles and buzzes like a true demo should. Then again, why would we expect anything less of the Babies and Matt Mondanile? Both are notorious for lo-fi production and bare-boned, rootsy recordings. It opens with “Big Mercedes,” a classic boy/girl duet with Ramone’s signature vocal style and Morby’s love-sick cries. Hardcore Babies’ fans will be interested in taking a listen to “Hey Mama”, the skeleton to what would eventually become “Sick Kid” on their self-titled LP. Other songs included on Cry Along play out like rough jam sessions between Morby and Ramone, in which you can clearly hear how well they flow together despite the fact that these are rough demos. It might not be for everyone. If you’re looking for a high quality produced 12” with a sense of direction, then you’re out of luck. If you want to take a peek into the writing process of best friends, making humble and catchy music together, then you can’t get anything better than Cry Along With the Babies." - getbent.fm

8 songs debut LP for this female fronted post punk band from Montreal. CVLT Nation's placed their last year demo amongst one of the six best releases of 2011 in their category "positive punk / deathrock". Come with a nice 11”x17” poster as well as a download card. Members have played in Born Dead Icons, Complications, Ballast and Preying Hands.
BONEBLACK "S/T" LP (CHAOS RURALE)
8 tracks of relentless darkened crust hailing from deathchurch in montreal. This debut LP skillfully runs the gambit of crushing mid tempo punishment to raging d-beat all in one track.
FACIALS "S/T" LP (CHAOS RURALE)
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.
PROTESTANT "RECLAMATION" LP (CHAOS RURALE)
"Here's the latest release from Milwaulkee, WI's Protestant. Protestant have been consistently churning out their brand of blackened, metallic, and crust influenced hardcore since 2004. The band has been a powerhouse of sorts and have released an impressive output of music in their eight year's existence. The band has continually impressed me with the quality of music they've put out so far, and their latest 12" is no exception. Reclamation is set to drop at the end of the month, September 21st, to be exact. Reclamation is a five song 12" that runs a little under twenty minutes. For the band, Reclamation is an evolution of sorts and shows Protestant veering slightly away from their crust leanings found on the band's earlier releases. Protestant have embraced more of a metallic sound this time around, but have done so in a way that does not take away from the aggressiveness of the band's sound. Musically, these five new songs are still dark, venomous, and brutal as fuck. All I know is this band does not fail to impress me and I always look forward to new material from the band. Highly recommended! Enjoy!" - elementaryrevolt.blogspot.com

CLITBOYS - DISCOGRAPHY TAPE
Official reissue! "Discography tape from this highly underrated Wisconsin HC band from the early 80s. Includes their We Don't Play the Game EP as well as their Detour demo tape, as well as an insert with posters, flyers, and other ephemera. I've always loved this band's sound as it couldn't be more simple really, but everything so so stripped-down and direct that it just sticks in your head... sort of like an even more raw and rudimentary version of Minor Threat. Early HC heads should definitely have this one in their collection in some way, shape, or form." - sorrystaterecords.com
BIG EYES "HARD LIFE" TAPE (DIRT CULT)
Debut full length from Big Eyes! Ramones and Muffs inspired punk rock from NJ with former members of Cheeky and Kicking Spit. Here's a nice review from Razorcake: Give this record one listen, just one listen, and I promise you will be hooked on Big Eyes. Featuring tons of wailing and noodling guitars by guitarist/vocalist Kate Eldridge, and backed by the solid rhythm section of CJ Frederick and Mark Bronzino on drums and bass respectively, the result is a collection of some of the catchiest tunes I’ve heard in a long time. Tracks, like “Your Lies,” and “I Know You’re Wrong,” have a frantic energy and tons of guitar leads, but the band also gets slow and meandering as in the tracks “Different than I Thought,” and “Why Can’t I?” Floating at the perfect point in the middle of the mix of all these songs are Kate’s hard-edged vocals, singing, and occasionally screaming, about love, loss, and attraction. While I can say that I hear influences ranging from ‘60s rock, and ‘70s punk and surf, simple genre descriptions only sell this band short. Their sound captures the best of rock music from several decades, in a way that can only be described as timeless.
EXEQUALS "SEEING GREY" TAPE
"Ripping stripped down garage hardcore from two dudes separated by distance and adulthood, but determined to still make punk happen. These six songs are bombastic assaults, pissed hardcore punk with hooks, but without compromising intensity. "Set Me Free" kick in after two break neck numbers and gives EXEQUALS a street punk tinge that works perfectly with their feisty hc attack, a vibe that is furthered with the MOTORHEAD meets '90s basement punk feel of "Why Not Now." This is music played by people who know exactly what they are doing and it's wrapped up in a package that commands your attention before you even get the tape into the deck. Killer jams, let's hope they move out of the stuido and into the basement sooner rather than later" - MAXIMUMROCKNROLL
EXEQUALS "HOME RECORDINGS VOL. 1" TAPE
Newest cassette offering from this hc punk garage project out of PA. A collection of songs recorded in the "Dave Cave" at home in Central PA.

Prepare to have your mind blown and your fingers covered in black ink!
CANNABIS CORPSE "BENEATH GROW LIGHTS THOU SHALT RISE" CD (TANKCRIMES)
Following in the tradition laid down by their earlier releases, each song on the record is inspired by a classic death metal track - this time around, Morbid Angel and Deicide are getting the Cannabis treatment! Tongue-in-cotton-mouthed-cheek titles like “Lunatic of Pot’s Creation” and “Immortal Pipes” keep the party rolling, but don’t be fooled: CANNABIS CORPSE are not a joke band. Sure, they’ll fire up a bowl and chug a beer, but then they’ll rip your face off with a brutal old-school death metal assault, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the seeds of the genre first began to grow. With a European invasion slated for August/September and many a nefarious scheme looming on the horizon, the ‘Corpse have only begun to burn.
ANS "PRESSURE CRACKS" CD (TANKCRIMES)
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.
