Nog Watt - Fear


Incredible all-female hardcore punk from the Netherlands. This EP is a true classic. I could listen to this a thousand times over and still be turned on. Released in 1985 on Revenge Records. The female vocals are really great, not weak, but with the perfect amount of aggressiveness. Nog Watt have a great sound too, ripping, thrash-esque tone with some beautiful melodic riffs and slow noise-rock dirge parts. Anyways, this is some pretty essential stuff. If you don't have this already you should listen if you like punk or hardcore at all. Oh, I've seen this rad Nog Watt shirt printed here, buying soon.

Chronic Seizure - Brainsick E.P.


Chronic Seizure are one band that play the USHC resurgence right. One of my favorite Chicago bands and I'm more than stoked to see them more often. This is Chronic Seizure's first E.P. and the first Fashionable Idiots release. I don't think there's one boring song on here. Ripping throughout, No Slow All Go. This EP is sold out and so are the other two. LP, "Ancient Wound" is still available and rips just as hard. Check the FI webstore. Ex members of legendary Chicago bands, The Repos and 14 Or Fight.

Crucifix - Crucifix


The first Crucifix record released in 1981. If you don't know Crucifix, they were a great hardcore punk band from Berkeley, California. Unfortunately they are clotted with Crass-records shit and other goofy bands. They should instead be classified with great USHC bands like Antidote, Jerry's Kids, etc. This is their 5 song 12". They had another LP, "Dehumanized" which is also a rager. Were also on Rat Music with Black Flag, Circle Jerks, etc. Sorry for the shit picture, only one I could find was the one off KFTH.

Horrid Cross - Demo I


First demo by new BM project featuring members of Florida's great Divisons (RIP) and Nazi Dust. The demo is amazing and Horrid Cross execute the raw punishing bm sound perfectly. I bought the demo with the Irradiated Corpse zine, Interviews with Cult Ritual, Grinning Death's Head, Hellkontroll. Tape reviews, and all your cult hardcore needs. Very much worth checking out. The demo is 4 tracks, spanning almost 10 minutes. There are no track titles. Contact Irradiated Corpse [irradiatedcorpse@hotmail.com] for tapes and the zine. There maybe some left.

Hail Mary - All Aboard The Sinking Ship


Underrated Vermiform gem released in 1999. Hail Mary (Albany, NY) was fronted by Mark Telfian, ex-guitar of Limp Wrist, also played in Deathsquad. An easy comparison would be Born Against and other wacky hc punk ala Articles of Faith. Artwork by Sam McPheeters himself. Hail Mary released a 7" on Prank another on Vermiform, a split with The Red Scare, and were on some Comp on X-Mist. All gone but you may find them in a dollar bin near you. I've seen this LP on ebay quite a bit. Check there. Buy the CD if you want, plus other Vermiform greatness here. Anyways, this is an all around great hc/punk record.

Obliteration - Obliteration EP



Dirty hardcore somewhere between American classics like Crucifix/Agnostic Front/Battalion of Saints/Final Conflict, and swedish hc like Anti Cimex/Mob 47/Disarm/Crude SS. Riffs to pump your fist, solos to bang your head, and lyrics to remind you of your fascist oppressors. From the idiots responsible for bands like MIND ERASER & KNIFE FIGHT! This was a request and the bio was stolen from Painkiller. This is the first 7". There is a second pressing of this available on the Painkiller site and their new 7" (This is Tomorrow) is available too.

No website that I know of.

Hong Kong Blonde - Splitfinger Fastball



Hong Kong Blonde was formed in 1999 in Victoria, Canada. HKB sounds like a cross between Poison Idea, the Accused, and early Suicidal Tendencies. If anyone has a scan of the album art, please post it in a comment. This was a request.

Harm's Way - Demo


Harm's Way is a hardcore band from Chicago, Illinois which features members of Weekend Nachos, Convicted and I'm sure some other bands. This demo is definitely a lot different than their newest album. This is very Infest influenced while the new LP is more NYHC influenced.

The Warmers - S/T

The Warmers were a post-hardcore trio from Washington D.C. consisting of, Alec MacKaye (The Faith, Ignition), Juan Luis Carrera (Lois), and Amy Farina (Lois, The Evens). As you can tell by the album art The Warmers are a simple, minimalist band along the lines of Wire. My favorite part of this band has to be the odd off-kilter drums, that somehow fit the choppy, twangy guitar. While this was their only release during their tenure as a band they also have a posthumous EP, both out on Dischord Records (like you didn't see that one coming). I don't know what more there is to say other than, you should be downloading this right now.

E.A.T.E.R. - Chaos Casette Vol. 1



E.A.T.E.R., or Ernst And The Edsholm Rebels, were a Swedish hardcore punk band that existed from 1982-1988 (I believe). Definitely one of the many underrated hardcore bands from Sweden. This is their very first release, which was I believe was self released in 1982 on cassette. They have a pretty nice discography that's worth looking up.

Ugly Law - EP



Ugly Law is a hardcore punk band from Richmond, VA. Their style is very similar to bands current bands like Government Warning and Wasted Time and takes strong influence from bands like Necros and Koro. This is their first EP, which was self released on a 7" in 2007. This was their only release until just recently, where they appeared on the South Will Rise Again comp on Cowabunga Records. There are some decent bands on this comp (Cult Ritual, Logic Problem, Socialcide and more) so pick it up.

The Homopolice - Fuck Entertainment



Noise punk band from Texas influenced by Whitehouse and the Stooges. Has every member of No Talk (check previous posts for No Talk material) plus some other guy. Their bassist, Beau, used to do guitar for grindcore band, Insect Warfare. This band sounds nothing like either. "We are a noise band, not some hippie space jam bullshit."

The Cancer Kids - Boston Cream



Some people were asking for this on Kevin's other Cancer Kids post, so I figured I'd upload. This a single sided 7" with one song clocking in at thirty-four seconds. Only pressed to 100 or 150 copies. If you haven't listened to the Cancer Kids, they play fast, thrashy hardcore punk. I've never really listened to this band, so I don't know who to compare them to. Previous Cancer Kids post.
