Gas Rag ‎– Beats Off - 12" MLP

I'm a bit late with this one, but better late than never - just a great 12"

http://youtu.be/gCemzjOhVZM

To my ears, this is the best US band right now, totally raging hardcore punk the way it is supposed to be played. Like PYK era Poison Idea meets Shitlickers and UBR. This is a Mini LP, so not a ton of material, but it's all killer, no filler. - Felix Havoc

The anarcho-prostitutes of Chicago's GAS RAG return with the "BEATS OFF" MLP, featuring 11 more tracks of the hardcore punk that you dingles have come to know them for. Following up the "HUMAN RIGHTS" EP that that lit up all the interwebs and print media rags with a plethora of praise and hate from all kinds of bloggers, "music journalists," and other assorted dimwits; the gang is back with their first 12" that continues to pay homage to their Midwestern homeland whilst sending warm regards to the distant land of Scandinavia, all the while churning out a special brand of aggressive rock. This is a platter full of frantic yet tasteful riffs, a savage vocal delivery, and professionally executed pre-teen drumming - producing an end result that will inevitably aid in the listener's self destructive course of choice. Try not to freak the fuck out.

KNÆGT // SLÖA KNIVAR SPLIT - 7"

PRE-ORDER - HERE LATE NEXT WEEK

Two of the best bands from Malmö's thriving hardcore scene with two of the most outspoken vocalists on top of that.

Knægt once more allowed Sista Versen to release their new stuff and they spare no expenses when they riff like there is no tomorrow. The riffs are even sicker than on the demo and you can hear their old bands there as well as a lot of RKL/Accüsed.

Slöa Knivar have been around for a few years and this is their fifth release already and they still haven't changed those killer hardcore riffs a single bit. Patricias vocals are spot on and the lyrics are amazing and spot on as expected. One fast eager rager and one slower song with some great lyrics on the topic of douchebag dudes in ze scene.

Man Is The Bastard ‎– Thoughtless - LP colour vinyl

Remastered Reissue on coloured vinyl - Gravity Records -  contains two A3 inserts with credits and lyrics + one two-sided "Wacky Packages" poster. 

Gravity is very happy to announce the re-issue of the long out of print lp originally recorded in 1995. The quintessential powerviolence pioneers and originators, who have been cemented into cult status since their break up in 1997. Their sound was a brutal mix of complicated technical riffing and straight-up hardcore made by dual basses, noise boxes, and hardcore/prog drum beats. Making things even more interesting were the band member's interests in the burgeoning noise scene, something that affected their music greatly. Man Is The Bastard's brutal deconstruction of politically-minded punk, hardcore and electronics bent minds all over the globe. While similar affiliated acts like Bastard Noise, Neanderthal, and Spazz were all in the same ballpark, MITB were in their own universe. There isn't anything out there that sounds quite like this. Newly remastered in 2012 and on limited colored vinyl.

Weekend Nachos ‎– Worthless - LP white vinyl

IN STOCK NOW

Deep Six Records ‎– #157 -- limited white vinyl

http://weekendnachos.bandcamp.com/album/worthless

The most vitriolic hardcore album of the new millenium. Weekend Nachos are here to punish and destroy!

Weekend Nachos is all about their catchiness, their awesome groove parts, and their harsh vocals. There's no arguing with their unique blend of powerviolence, grindcore, and hardcore.

Hoffmann is able to masterfully twist his quick-fire vocal attacks into a twisted and frustrated viewpoint of agonizing bliss for the listener.

The guitar distortion tone works excellently throughout the album to produce a truly vicious tone and generates the desolating feedback in the album’s self-titled instrumental track. The riffing throughout the album is very consistent in being able to switch, very quickly. Take for instance the blasting intro of ‘Old Friends Don’t Mean Shit’, stopped for just a moment ten seconds in to a series of well structured chords carried along by the drums.

Bass stays somewhat hidden for some songs, as the guitar does its fair part of clouding it throughout the album – particularly with the break-neck drum speed. But give the album a few plays through and you’ll know that a great level the bass truly gives to the guitar work – adding a significant layer to the musical assault. The tone it carries reminds me of true grind, a very rough and edged sound that goes very well with the music. In the particularly dissonant moments of this album; the grooving riffs of ‘Jock Powerviolence’ or entirely throughout the instrumental ‘Worthless’; the bass acts as a clear guide for the rest of the instruments. 

All the while, the drums pick up a great, ‘run around and mosh’ pace to accompany the other instruments. Variations of fast paced d-beats and incredibly well timed snare blasts make the metal influence evident on the drums. The drums really do carry a large part of this album; cymbal speed is fantastic and all incredibly well timed and his ability to switch styles is also incredibly impressive (as shown in ‘For Life’ by the ambient to two-step beat transition). The drums give a significantly frantic feel to the songs by supplying what literally feels like anger, mirrored by John Hoffman’s vocals. 

Whether or not you like Powerviolence or have even heard of it, pick up a copy of Worthless. From the explosive opening chords of ‘Hometown Hero’ like a pack of C4 exploding to the utter desolation in the final and completely crushing ending of ‘Future’; this album is one hell of a ride, and a completely acceptable form of anger management. - thanx to http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Weekend_Nachos/Worthless/307190/

Discharge-Decontrol/Fight Back/Never Again/Realities Of War/State Violence-7" white vinyl

Set of 5 x Discharge 7" on white vinyl from Havoc records with promo poster - 2 sets where sent to me by Felix in 2011 and I'm keeping a set, so this is one is up for grabs.

DECONTROL - - Classic three song rager from 1980. Less than a year removed from "realities of war" the sound is already faster and more aggressive, leaving 70's punk behind and blazing into pure hardcore raw punk. This record has three of Discharge's best songs which are just pure blasts of raw anger and urgency. Hardcore punk at it's best - Decontrol, No TV Sketch, Tomorrow Belongs to Us.

FIGHT BACK - - Five song blast of pure anger and energy, Dishcarge is at their finest here. Pure be beat raw punk against which all the successors can be measured. This hard driving music is the perfect vehicle for the outrage at war and oppression conveyed by the harsh lyrics and graphics - Fight Back, War's No Fairytale, Always Restrictions, You Take Part In Creating the System, Religion Instigates.

NEVER AGAIN - - It's 1981, the cold war rages, threatening to turn hot at any moment as Reagan, Thatcher and Brezhnev seem poised to destroy the world in a descent to nuclear madness. Using cover art appropriated from 1930's anti fascist agit-prop Discharge links the bleak reality of Thatcher's Britain with the descent to totalitarian oppression and war of an earlier generation. A bit more polished than the first three EPs and the Why? 12", Never Again delivers three blasts of hardcore punk. The bass playing in "Two Monstrous Nuclear Stockpiles" is probably my favorite on any hardcore record ever - Never Again, Death Dealers, Two Monstrous Nuclear Stockpiles.

REALITIES OF WAR - The Classic first 7" from Discharge circa 1980. A monumental record that helped jumpstart the hardcore movement around the world. This is one of a handful of records from 1980 that pushed 70's punk into the bleak era of the 1980's hardcore scene. Discharge set the standard with their raw and uncompromising visual style and unbridled hardcore punk music - Realities of War, They Declare it, But After the Gig, Society's Victim.

STATE VIOLENCE, STATE CONTROL - Discharge's fifth 7", from 1982. The sound is a bit less raw and there is a tiny bit of the metal influence starting to show. The energy and power of Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing are starting to manifest on these tracks - Doomsday, State Violence State Control.

ALL AS NEW - - WILL SHIP BY REGISTERED POST.

The Outcasts - Self Conscious Over You - 7"

Good Vibrations Records ‎– GOT 17 - - 1979 - - fold-out cover

The Outcasts were formed in June 1977 in Belfast by the three Cowan brothers, Greg Cowan (vocals / bass), Martin Cowan (guitar/vocals), Colin Cowan (drums) and their friend Colin ‘Getty’ Getgood (guitar), playing their first gig two months later. ‘You’re A Disease’ / ‘Don’t Want To Be No Adult’ / ‘Frustration’ (It, 1978) is easily the roughest sounding early Outcasts single, ‘You’re A Disease’ stands out as the best track. ‘Frustration’ was later re-recorded for the 1982 LP ‘Blood & Thunder’. ‘Just Another Teenage Rebel’ / ‘Love Is For Sops’ (Good Vibrations, 1978) captures the Outcasts at their best, punk rock with a pop edge, both tracks are classics. Came in the trademark Good Vibes foldout poster sleeve in several different colours, a 2nd pressing was issued in early 1979 with a different cover. ‘The Cops Are Comin’ (Good Vibrations, 1979) was released as part of a double single package ‘Battle Of The Bands’ featuring three other local bands, namely Rudi, Spider and the Idiots. A nasty little tale about killing your girlfriend and having sex with her corpse.

Protex ‎– Don't Ring Me Up - 7" promo cover

Good Vibrations Records ‎– GOT6 - 1978 -  FIRST ISSUE TELEPHONE FOLD-OUT COVER WITH PROMO INFORMATION INSIDE.

In 1977, four schoolfriends formed the Incredibly Boring Band and did a few gigs playing covers of Thin Lizzy and Dr Feelgood songs. However, they were soon smitten by the punk bug and decided that they wanted to play energic pop like the Buzzcocks and the Ramones. So they started to write their own songs and then decided to change the band name to Protex Blue(the name coming from the title of a song of the Clash). The band - Aidan Murtagh(guitar/vocals), David McMaster(guitar/vocals), Paul Maxwell(bass/vocals) and Owen McFadden(drums) - played their 1st gig under the new name on 4.7.78 at Knock Methodist Church Hall.

They went on to play at various venues around Belfast and soon earned the reputation of being an excellent live band, and somewhere along the lines at this time they shortened the band name to just PROTEX. Shortly after recording a session for Downtown Radio, they were watched by Terri Hooley, performing at the Glenmachan Hotel and it wasn’t long before Hooley had them in the studio recording their debut single for the Good Vibrations label. They went on to record a session for The Kid Jensen Show on BBC Radio and shortly afterwards, A&R men from London came over to see them play live with the X-Dreamysts in Portrush. At this stage the band were still in sixth form at school, studying for their A-Levels.

Both PROTEX and the X-Dreamysts were signed to Polydor Records and during the Easter holidays in ‘79, PROTEX went to London to record “Ican’t cope” as the first single for their new label. By thistime, the A-Levels had started to take a bit of a back seat and by the summer of ‘79 they had uprooted and moved to London. They toured with The Boomtown Rats and this was followed by various club tours and two tours of the USA. During a tour of the States in 1980, the band were filmed live in concert at New York’s Hurrah Club on St. Patricks Day, by John T.Davis of “Shell Shock Rock” fame. This film was given the title “Sham rock”!

PROTEX went on to release two singles for Polydor. They also recorded an album “Strange Obsessions”

(Side A: Strange things-T’ll never stop-A place in your heart-Nigh of action-You don’t know me-Look out Johnny)

(Side B: I can only dream-Forever-Don’t ring me up-Smile and say goodbye-Private lives-Strange obsessions)

which was produced by Chas Chandler. Unfortunately the album was never releasedas nobody was particularly happy with the end result! They also contributed tracks to various compilation albums in both the UK and the USA.

B2 What Happened In Brighton?

The Ejected were an English punk rock/oi! band from Dagenham, Essex, active between 1981 and 1983

The band was formed by ex-Dawn Patrol members Big Jim Brooks (vocals, guitar) and Gary Sandford (bass, vocals) (later replaced by Paul Quain), and drummer Mick ‘Sticks’ Robinson (later replaced by Paul Griffiths). They cited UK Subs, Cockney Rejects, Angelic Upstarts and The Clash as major influences. [2] Signing to the Riot City label, their first release was a contribution to the various artists compilation Carry On Oi. 1982 saw the release of the band’s debut EP Have You Got 10p, a song which once saw the band answered by a shower of 10p coins throughout their set. The EP reached number 8 in the UK Indie Chart, and saw the band receive a lot of press coverage, including an interview by Garry Bushell in Sounds. This was followed in 1983 by the Noise For The Boys EP, and debut album A Touch Of Class, which were less well received, the latter described by Punk Lives as “completely empty of any real substance”. The band’s Jim Brooks put their failure to achieve a large following down to their live performances, saying “We were awful!”. The band’s perceived right-wing nationalist tendencies saw them ignored by the majority of the music press.
