Rory Hates The Beatles

he really does i've been told. anyway here's a little demo i made by myself. all instruments by me and it's not really punk. i have some more punk stuff, but who cares about that, this rocks! oh and that's a picture of fear of war, for no apparent reason.
1. Beach Cat
2. The Opposite
3. Raid

Mob 47-EP 7"

(((re-post from April 18/10@10:21pm)))
(((now re-ripped in stereo so you can hear what's all going on.)))

finally i've had time to post something. i had this rip sitting around for a while so don't say it's crap, it's alright, the record is only $4 to buy so get this as a sample, that is if you think my rip sucks. i forgot about it until now, so here you go. when i bought the 7" i never knew what it sounded like. i had heard of them and the artwork looked great so i bought. i have the Havoc records re-press. the original cover has a hand drawn creature or something but i like the one above better. scans. anyway, this is another great swedish release. pretty much thrash i'd say with one amazing break-down song. apparently they are still playing and releasing records. here is their band site: KARNVAPEN ATTACK! with discography, photos and lots more. enjoy!
1. karnvapen attack 5/5 (great.)
2. rusting ar ett brott 4/5 (great guitar.)
3. res dig mot overheten 4/5 (nice, guitar is always great.)
4. vi rustar dom dor 4/5 (vocals great.)
5. det ar upp till oss 4/5 (only 15 seconds, what more do you want.)
6. dom ljuder 5/5 (great guitar opening. man i've said great enough times.)
7. ingen framtid 4/5 (short.)
8. animal liberation 5/5 (slow but the best song on here. great everything.)
9. polisstat 4/5 (nice ender.)
overall: 9/10 strongly recommended
great stuff, get the download, then buy it.

The Absentees-S/T 7"

i posted this before but it was a short and bad post so let's call this a new post. well i found out about these guys from KBD. apparently only 106 pressed. the one i've posted is the remastered to bejesus re-issue. the original didn't come with anything. but the re-issue comes with an outer sleeve and lyrics to both songs. the vinyl is also red, check out the scans at the bottom. breakmyface has a great story on these guys. there is also a cd with a bunch of other songs, but it's cd. the sound is very different to that of the original. so check it out before you buy it. the b-side isn't remastered a whole lot but the a-side is much different.
1. tryin' to mess with me 5/5 (great!)
2. F.U.M. 1/5 (still not a fan.)
overall: 6/10 recommended (because of b-side)
a guy had it on ebay for $10. i asked him $5. now i own it for $5. that's my story, now download the record.

Chronic Disorder-Fred 7"

yes more chronic disorder. i must say this is my favourite band. i think they're fantastic and many will probably disagree with me. so sloppy at times but quite talented. listen to those guitar riffs. spit with his british accent (put on if you didn't know) is a great vocalist. their best attempt was their first 7" which i posted but will be re-posting the mp3s cause with the ones i ripped before, you don't get the full greatness (well sound) of the record. then the first LP is amazing as well, it's coming in the mail now so it will be posted soon. then there's this, it's good but not quite as good as i would have expected. only because of the second song. this was released by themselves and had a higher press run of 500 (there other releases are very limited to only 300). the year was 1984. so they're back at the humour (if you read the back cover of their records, you'll see what i mean). all the lyrics can be found in the scans at the bottom. what more can i say.
1. i see red 5/5 (great song. more like i'm seeing red.)
2. point: counterpoint 1/5 (just a mash of too much talking. if they just played the music, it would be good.)
3. s.i.w.o.v. 5/5 (my favourite track.)
4. gluttony 5/5 (great opening.)
5. eileen's 5/5 (nice.)
overall: 8/10 strongly recommended
too bad about the second track because this record would be flawless without it. i bought this on ebay a bit ago. i asked if i could buy it now because i didn't know how high it would go for. we set a price of $20 even. so he put the auction to buy now for $100 bucks and offer (so i would offer $20 and nobody would buy it cause $100 is way to much for that record). anyway someone offered him $40 in the meantime (the listing said it so i knew he wasn't lying). but he still went with me, great seller! and that's my story.

False Prophets-EP 7"

(((re-post from Feb. 3/10@8:50pm)))
i had the original post to this but i didn't like it. so i'm re-writing this all different. great band. their first 7" is quite good too but not as great as this release. this was released by worn out brothers records in 1982. these guys were on the new york thrash tape and i must say, i don't really like their songs on it. Good Clean Fun is the fastest and best song i've heard by them and it's on this release. on the flip side the song is slower and has a synthesizer or something. i still like it, although it's 4:13. nice design and on the back it says "this record is not worth more than $2." i wish that were true. i bought this for $24, not bad, $12 for each song, well more like $20 for the first song and $4 for the other. the inside has all the lyrics clearly typed. it's my first scan and first rip with my new machines, enjoy!
1. good clean fun! 5/5 (labelled as VIOLENCE side. fantastic, one of the best songs in punk.)
2. functional 4/5 (labelled as SEX side. slower, longer but good, cause of vocals.)
overall: 9/10 strongly recommended
pick it up, great record to add to your collection.

RIP Hardcore Punk Scans

officially gone now. i'm sort of sad, but mostly glad.

Carpet Cabal

well i got all the updated scan zip files faster than i thought. all you have to do now is click on the "scans" in each post and it'll downlaod the zip file. then open the file and copy and paste them to the music files. well that's what i would do anyway. i forgot to mention i got a new scanner too but there's no way in hell i'm re-scanning (or re-rip) all those records unless someone asks. but all the new ones will look great!

Gorgeous Sandwich

well i've been getting some new devices so i'm a little backed up on my rips. i set up a new/old record player and with that, i needed to get a new receiver. luckily my grandfather had one. i also set up a tape deck so hopefully i'll get some good tape rips this time. well that's that.
i also had an idea recently. i hate having that ridiculous hardcore punk scans blog for my scans so i thought up a new plan. i'll put all the scans in a zip file and upload them, then place them in the post. much better and easier for me too. so i've uploaded all the scans and it will take some time to change all the links. so in a couple of days i'll be ending that site so get you're full (of nothing really).
chronic disorder fred 7" will be posted next.

Nardcore Compilation 12"

i've been on a kick about just buying original records lately. this is not the original comp but i don't care, it still rips! i bought this on my excursion to hits and misses (read here). in that post, sorry i spelt the name wrong. i thought it was just hit not hits. i still make the same mistake. anyway, it was sitting on the shelf next to reagan youth (the remastered one). this was originally released in 1984, but i have the reissue from 2009 i think it is. the cover is a little altered, but no big deal. the thing i don't like is that on the back there is a big cd ad, right in the middle, bizarre. if you read it, it says it includes a cd with some nardcore 7"s on it. decent cd, pretty decent. my copy is on white vinyl. there are 20 songs on this. i downloaded it from another source and it was missing 8 of the songs. so i was surprised how good the other tracks were. i'm not going to go through all the bands cause that will take a while and i'm not up for it. now on to the tracks.
1. ill repute-president 5/5 (fantastic song. it's the reason i bought this comp.)
2. ill repute-sleep walking II 4/5 (great band, my favourite from oxnard.)
3. ill repute-it's not gonna happen to me 5/5 (great song, great vocals.)
4. scared straight-skate to live 5/5 (doesn't sound like scared straight i know but great.)
6. rat pack-tell me how 4/5 (rat pack gives us a metal taste on the a side.)
7. rat pack-w.w. 84 4/5 (good.)
8. habeas corpus-steal you blind 3/5 (could have been tossed and i wouldn't care. but it's short so.)
9. agression-the smell 5/5 (great tracks on here by the band.)
10. agression-calling for you 5/5 (fantastic ender to the a side.)
11. r.k.l.-u.s. steal 5/5 (ooo.)
12. r.k.l.-lies 4/5 (nice tracks by this band.)
13. r.k.l.-no respect 5/5 (cool.)
14. false confession-feline 1/5 (slow and long. also bad.)
16. the rotters-men 0/5 (similar to angry samoans' homosexual. i also hate this track.)
17. dr. know-circle of fear 2/5 (too long and i don't like dr. know in the first place.)
18. a.f.u.-high on the hog 5/5 (back to goodness.)
19. stalag 13-statistic 5/5 (GREAT!!! the drum sound is amazing, followed by amazing vocals. best song on here.)
20. stalag 13-do it right 5/5 (more on the funk side, and who doesn't love funk.)
overall: 8.5/10 strongly recommended
great comp to own, only a few not so good tracks. pick up a copy today! now i'm off to buy some original records (except for that damn rebel truth album that went for $51, the guy got ripped).

The Spasms-American Zero 7"

well i'm back, Mr. Metalhater here. and this post will just further the name. time for some things that i hate (for no apparent reason), and witnessed today in fact. get ready for some randomness. i really hate when people walk slowly. "SPEED UP" that's what i say in my mind but never out loud. people walking towards me must be thinking, "what the hell is he doing." you see me there just trying to cut around the wall to pass them but then the stick out there arm while explaining there (assumingly unimportant) stories. then there is another thing that happens to me while walking down those school halls. you know when you're walking and somebody's coming toward you. they never seem to get out of the way. i always have to make the first move to the side. it's not like they don't see you or anything. one day i decided to not move and just just walking straight. and of course he didn't move. our shoulders locked and the guy looked at me like he was gonna fight me. anyway, i don't even know how i got onto that topic. today we had a fire drill and outside i tripped over this pipe that was sticking out of the ground. i looked to see if anyone saw it. obviously since the entire school was outside, a group of kids saw it and were laughing. i don't blame them, i would have probably laughed too but i was so tired. i looked at them and they stopped. and that's my story, hahaha.

The Spasms is the band in this post. i know nothing of the band and can't find any information on them. all i know is they were from chicago and this was their only release. it was sent out in 1998. yeah a weird year to be on this blog. mat dafuc sent me mp3s of this and i needed to buy it. i couldn't find it anyway though. so i emailed him to see if he knew where to get it. too my delight he found it in three online stores and i bought the cheapest one. i like the way the sleeve is made, chronic disorder style. the front and back are separate. the two sheets have both front and back on both of them and the front is spray-painted out and same on one of the back. that was a really really bad explanation but it doesn't matter. the sound is more on the pop side but very garage punk and catchy.
1. american zero 5/5 (great stuff.)
2. don't gamble with love 4/5 (i love the drum sound on this record.)
3. only 16 5/5 (i am.)
overall: 9/10 strongly recommended
get it! might as well, right?
my brother (he might read this) says to me, "how can such a young man be filled with such rage." and to him i say. "probably cause this whole universe is against me!" (if you watch seinfeld you would get the reference).

Black Flag-Jealous Again 12"

(((re-post from Sept. 18/09@7:58)))
(((i remember the day i posted this. it was right when i started the blog. i had forgotten about the blog for about 10 days then it hit my brain. it was my second review. i listened to about 80 records that night. also reviewed a ton of stuff that night. of all places i bought this record from amazon. yes there is a big black line across the cover of this record. must be the way i took the photo. maybe you have this, maybe you don't, something something something, i'm something something.)))

this isn't my favourite black flag release. call me crazy but i think chavo pederast was the best vocalist that black flag had, after morris. i liked henry garfeild when he was in s.o.a but not in black flag.
anyway this album is great. did anyone notice the last song is just "i don't care" with different lyrics.
1. Jealous Again 5/5 (best song on here. fast and tight.)
2. Revenge 5/5 (a-side is killer.)
3. White Minority 4/5 (not big on the lyrics.)
4. Values 4/5 (fast.)
5. You Bet I've Got Something Personal Against You! 2.5/5 (let chavos sing!! also the title is way to long.)
overall: 8/10 recommended (a least get a reissue. tons out there.)

Bum Kon-Drunken Sex Sucks 12"

so here it is, one of the greatest recording sessions of all time. but before i go any further i would like to say happy birthday to the man who runs political trendy. he's going on 200 posts now so congrats on that. this post is for you elliott, hope you like it.

so it's great to see more and more comments rolling in. my little canadian site some how made it's way to finland. nice to hear from ryan again. i can't wait to get that package. i'm watching Seinfeld right now. it was cool to see that erich had it as his recommended media. 2nd best show of all time, hilarious. do you want to know what the best show of all time is? no? ok, i asked.

wow, that was way off topic. so here it is, the killer 12". it's all golden! fast thrashy hardcore with a great sound and vocals. way back in 1983 bum kon recorded 20 songs (5 other songs, but they're just different versions). but sadly only released 5 of them on a 7". and that didn't even include the best track on here, Nancy Reagan Fashion Show. i reviewed that 7" a while ago but i was to harsh so don't read it. also back in 1983 there was a mass murder named Woo Bum Kon, i think you can put two and two together. they should have released all 20 of these songs as a massive 12", back in the day. luckily in my generation Smooch Records and Maximum RocknRoll re-issued this beast. it's the only remastering job i like. this will be the only re-issue/compilation of tracks or whatever you want to call it, posted here at this blog. huge record so i added a zip file at the bottom. enjoy (and you better)!

wait, there is so many songs so i'll just say that all of them get a 5/5. also that Nancy Reagan Fashion Show, Giving In, The Draft (amazing the way the song before blends with this track), This Is Art, Reagan Sucks, Go Die and Gay Rodeo are the killers on here.
16. go die
bonus alternate takes
overall: 10/10 strongly recommended
everyone needs a hard copy of this. go to the links above and get it. oh and again, happy birthday to elliott.
p.s. if the label has any problem with this post, let me know!

Necros-Conquest For Death 12"

(((re-post from Jan. 1/10@8:44pm)))
(((well here are the downloads. also i added scans so you can see for yourself and judge what pressing it is. good stuff. well i'm done. zip file at bottom.)))
now for one of my personal favourite bands, NECROS. first off, what the hell is with the cover? you can't even read the album title and it's even worse for the song titles on the back, you can barely read them. i guess it's suppose to be a guy fighting himself, but whatever, the cover doesn't matter. one pressing in the US and one in Germany. on the US press the title is blue and the labels are lime-green, but on the German press the title is green and the labels are lime-green, it also has an extra track from the conquest for death 7". on my copy the title is blue but the labels are yellow. i guess it's a boot or something. i picked it up in a local record store for $20 (the same place i picked up the first SS Decontrol 12"). i didn't know what it sounded like but i liked all the other Necros releases so i thought i'd snag it (also because i saw them on ebay go for over $50). the a-side is great and the b-side is a bit slower. definitely get their other releases, except for "tangled up" it's just metal, well actually elliott you might like it, ha.
1. search for fame 5/5 (great, fast opener.)
2. tarnished words 5/5 (great, a little slower.)
3. no one 5/5 (great, fast too.)
4. satisfy 5/5 (shortest and fastest song, could be on the IQ32 7".)
5. bad dream 3/5 (much slower, but when it's fast it's good.)
6. police brutality 5/5 (i loved this song on their first 7". this version is even better.)
7. A.S.F.B. 5/5 (great song.)
8. conquest for death 0.5/5 (didn't like it on the 7", don't like it now.)
9. count me out 4/5 (nice.)
10. change 2.5/5 (too slow.)
11. crying form 5/5 (here we go.)
12. face forward 3/5 (where did their accents come from all of a sudden.)
13. friend to all 3.5/5 (good closer.)
overall: 8/10 strongly recommended
they should have made a 7" out of the a-side. get it on eBay and visit their own label TOUCH AND GO RECORDS website (i won't say anything about them, you know what i'm talking about).

JFA-Valley of the Yakes 12"

(((re-post from Jan. 6/10@9:58pm)))
(((well i decided to post up my copy of this so i can boast about my signatures. check em out scans. go to the bottom to get the zip file or you can download each song individually, if you're crazy enough.)))
okay, okay, yes the only reason i posted this is because i have a signed copy, well it's also a great record. all the band members signed it except for bam bam (drums). back in 1983 these guys sent this copy to a friend who had the chicken pox. on the cover brain (vocals) wrote "2 Mark, the chicken pox are bad. get well soon, Brain." and on the cover he put dots on his face so it looks like he had the chicken pox. on the back michael c. (bass) wrote his name on the bass. and on the inner sleeve don (guitar) wrote "I had the chicken pox recently, it sucks. Don P." i got this on ebay for only $12, the guy didn't know what he was selling. it's so sweet. anyway, on to the record. this record sounds quite different actually from their "blatant localism" 7" (which is amazing). brain's voice in deeper on this release. also it contains some sweet surf songs. i really like the insert too, it has the lyrics to 3 tracks and then it says "we can't tell what Brain says on any of the other songs." the a-side is good but the b-side is fantastic.
1. kick you 4/5 (great opener.)
2. great equalizer 3/5 (nice slower song.)
3. preppy 3/5 (good lyrics.)
4. little big man 3.5/5 (also good lyrics.)
5. johnny d 3/5 (good.)
6. walk don't run 5/5 (best track, and it's a surf song.)
7. i don't like you 3.5/5 (nice.)
8. baja 5/5 (another great surf song.)
9. skateboard 4/5 (skate.)
10. we know you suck 4/5 (i like the change on vocals.)
11. too late 5/5 (great song.)
12. sadistic release 3.5/5 (weird chord changes but good.)
13. axed at howard's 5/5 (love the chords.)
14. I-10 5/5 (great instrumental song.)
15. guess what? 5/5 (great bass at the beginning.)
overall: 8/10 strongly recommended
this was the first punk CD that i got online. i actually first heard these guys on tony hawks pro skater 4 (best game). anyway, the CD has their first two albums and some rare tracks. as soon as i got this i searched for the records. now i own the original copies of their first two records. look on ebay and buy this now. oh i also forgot, check out their here: SKATEBOARD WE DO! it's got lots good info on the band.

Black Flag-Nervous Breakdown 7"

well i was waiting to post this for a long time. the reason being that i wanted to add the downloads. as you can see i have the 10" copy (same as my black flag six pack 10"). all the pictures seem gray but you can judge for yourself. i probably won't post the six pack record. it's alright but still. i remember when i bought that record. right when i put it on, i dropped the needle on it. i mean hard, really hard. it jumped all the way to the end so it doesn't affect play, but there is still a big gash.
well i just can back from party that my band was supposed to play at. not very many people showed up so we never even played. there was another band who did play, only 2 songs though. they played classic rock stuff. it was decent. my band wouldn't/couldn't match their musical talent, but i think we would have put on a more energetic show, if you know what i mean. we're playing in the near future, well hopefully.
so back to the record. everyone knows this, but it's getting posted anyway. is it the first hardcore punk record? no it isn't. the first hardcore record was the middle class's out of vogue 7". and nobody better say different. released in 1978 on SST records. time for the tracks.
1. nervous breakdown 5/5 (just golden.)
2. fix me 5/5 (nice.)
3. i've had it 4/5 (cool.)
4. wasted 5/5 (great but also check out the circle jerks version, fast as hell.)

(((oh sorry for the lack of posts. been busy. here is a little re-post to tide you over until i post something huge. so i just got this in the mail a week ago along with the new negative lifestyle 7". the record is massively warped, well my copy is. it also makes this weird noise every time it spins. you can't really tell when the music is playing but at the beginning of vengeance you can hear it as he says, "go ahead." this was probably the shortest post i ever did. well i'm off to the plant, then to the duff brewery.)))

short post tonight, but fantastic record. they only recorded about 7 songs and these are the 2 best.

1. Vengeance 5/5 (one of the best songs out of hardcore.)
2. In This Town 5/5

Human Mess-Anger Problems 7"

well i haven't posted some complete randomness in a while so those last two posts make up for it. well i bought more records, what's new right. ebay of course. lots of punks (when i say punks i mean one who listens to punk) hate ebay. a lot of people put up their punk records and are called, by others, to be "sell-outs." i don't see the problem here. a lot of people are looking for money. i remember seeing the fix 7" and the necros first 7" (both originals) up for sale at $8000 buy now. you might be thinking where the hell am i going with this. to be true, i have no clue, just rambling. if they want to sell them and someone wants to buy them, let them. i personally love ebay, i'm on there everyday. where else are you suppose to sell the records? people supplying punk for the world. so yes a lot are out for the money, but a lot just want to pass on these great records. if you think the auction is gonna go really high, ask for a buy now. this shows you what kind of person they are. a lot of people just say, "no. just bid." but then there's the nice ones. the ones who love a good haggle. for example, i just bought tsol ep 12", jfa untitled 12" and government warning no moderation 12" for $30. go here and buy what he has. great guy, and he also sold me the neos and graven image 7"s. ebay is a great place to find punks. also another guy gave me free records when i bought one. so you're still wondering where the hell i'm going with this. nowhere. well this is as good a place as any to end this nonsense.
so let's get to the actual music. just skip all that and start reading now. but you probably read all that to get to this. oh well.
probably the most screaming record i own. well not probably, it is. but it's good that way. great "underground" sound. great production. released in 2008 with a run of 500. apparently they sold really quickly. but i got it from my friend at flat black records this year. what label is this on you might ask, well i don't have the record beside me so i'll take a stab at it and say no way records. correct me if i'm wrong. they're from california. the songs are really short, just the way it should be. their other releases sound just as good.
1. anger problems 5/5 (best one.)
2. personal insanity 4/5 (scared yet.)
3. no respect 5/5 (great musically.)
4. i give up 4/5 (mayhem.)
5. sex addict 5/5 (great ender.)
overall: 9/10 strongly recommended

Insubordinates-1968/Rendezvous EP 7"

well the shipment of records i just got filled up the spot on my shelf where i put all my 7"s. so instead of cramming them all into the tiny spot (which i tried already) i decided to add a new shelf for them. all that's on it now are two crappy comps and a so-so record. soon it will be filled, i'm sure of it. well the False Prophets second 7" is already on it's way and i should get it sometime next week. i wish my post office worked on weekends. oh well, the guy down at the post office knows me know. i go there one a week. now when i leave he always says, "see you tomorrow zach!" we get a good laugh out of it, haha. haha, i think the last time i used haha in a post was way back on my first post/review ever, minor threat's first 7". anyway i think that's enough rambling for one post, more in the next post, haha (haha).
now here's what you came for, another record i was not aware of. i got this free from ryan of flat black records with my shipment. the shipment took a while to get but he threw in 5 free records and we were in communication the whole time, so i'm happy, very happy. i was very surprised when i spun this. not too fast but fast enough. released in 2008 on Feral Kid Records and CrotchRot Records. i believe these guys are from buffalo. i actually like the instrumental b-side better than the a-side. check it out.
1. 1968 4/5 (nice.)
2. rendezvous 5/5 (great no-vocal track.)
overall: 9/10 strongly recommended
see if it's your thing, then go buy it for pennies. i know you're sick of me saying this and frankly i am too, so from now on i'll just says scans (click on scans for scans, not those ones, the highlight scans, the word. well that made no sense).

Government Warning-Arrested 7"

(((re-post from Jan.7/10@9:05pm)))
(((just got this, time for a download.))) here's some new hardcore. this is actually really good. this was released in 2007 on grave mistake records. i can't believe that there have already been 4 presses of this, over 5000 total copies after 2 years, wow this must be popular. i have the first press. so as you can tell this is really easy to get and for only 5 bucks or under. i must say this is one of the best records post-1990. sometimes they play slower and then sometimes they play too fast for you to handle. when they play really fast they sound like Koro. they have released some other albums, which are good too, but none better than this. here's the band's site: KILLING TO GET ARRESTED!
1. arrested 5/5 (great slower, but still fast enough, song.)
2. maniacs 5/5 (fast, maniacs themselves.)
3. killing for fun 5/5 (wow, sounds like Koro.)
4. safe and sound 5/5 (nice.)
overall: 10/10 strongly recommended
no need for a download, get the record.

Friendly Neighbors-EP 7"

now another great Smokin' Barrel Records release. too bad the label is done. released in 2007, a great year for punk releases. this was limited to 355 copies. 255 on orange vinyl with a collage cover and 100 on black vinyl with covers drawn by children, the one i have and pictured above. it looks like they used the disney font. sounds very much like early TSOL, especially the b-side. the a-side is fantastic, a little off time, and that's the best part. here is the bands site. the second song's name is the longest song title i've ever since.
1. teenage guerrillas 5/5 (fantastic!)
2. an exquisite corpse cut with a kitchen knife and arranged according to the law of chance 5/5 (i spelled exquisite wrong in the download. i just realized it, so you can change it when you download.)
3. a song for bosch 5/5 (great.)
overall: 10/10 strongly recommended
another great california band. go find it.

Scared Straight-Born To Be Wild 7"

one last mid 80's stuff for a while. released on mystic records in 1985 on some really flimsy card stock. but glued together which i like. part of the nardcore series. they are featured on the nardcore compilation. but that comp is all about the ill repute tracks. back and fourth thrash. relatively short short songs with some equaling in at over 2 minutes. sound quality, compare it to nunfuckers. all these mid to late 80's releases kind of sound the same. oh well. anyway here's the songs. they all start with the same slow thing, but give it a try.
1. life 4/5 (nice.)
2. badge 5/5 (nice guitar riffs.)
3. children 5/5 (vocals.)
4. unity 5/5 (great.)
5. drug free 4/5 (cool.)
6. typical 5/5 (my favourite.)
7. another day 3/5 (meh.)
8. school II 4/5 (good lyrics.)
9. born to be wild 5/5 (i hate the original song but the way the singer sings on this track is awesome. the way he says CHILD is hilarious.)
overall: 8/10 strongly recommended
it's been re-issued and is up on ebay a lot. nice little record to add to your collection. download TYPICAL and see what you think.

Career Suicide-Signals 7"

let's jump ahead to 2004 and have a listen. one of toronto's best bands. all hand stamped labels. 2 or 3 pressings. they have released quite a bit of stuff so far. go to kbd records for cherry beach, my least favourite of theirs. it's really slow and boring to me. but not the rest of their stuff. their best 7" is called SARS (sars because of the sars breakout in toronto at the time.) but i don't have that yet. the weakest song on this record is the opener. screeching vocals, fast music.
1. left with nothing 2.5/5 (weakest.)
2. walk the line 4/5 (great.)
3. signals 4/5 (nice.)
4. lost on you 5/5 (the best.)
overall: 8/10 strongly recommended
this is good but get the sars 7" now (including this). as soon as i get it, it's getting posted.

Egg Hunt-EP 7"

this one's for elliott because i know he'll hate it. it is the project of minor threat members ian and jeff. while going to england they recorded this 2 song 7". released on dischord in 1986. i always wondered what is sounded like and finally got the chance. seeing that they were in minor threat i thought it was gonna be like that. but i was wrong. i got this free because the guy said he thought it was terrible. so i popped it on and realized it isn't that bad. if it didn't have those two guys playing this i probably would have passed on it. but nope. it sounds like generic 80's music. i even got the original press that says $2.50 on the back instead of $3.50. click on the image for massive scan to see it. don't be fooled by the price tag in the right corner. i'm talking about the price imprinted on the bottom left. the artwork is kind of obscure. ian on the front sticking his head through a vent hole and jeff lying on a bunch of candy on the back.
1. me and you 2/5 (kind of boring.)
2. we all fall down 5/5 (shoot me but i like it.)
overall: 5/10 meh
very cheap on ebay. 1000 pressed, i think. the songs are longer so longer download.
