see you cats at the Cinnabon!

YDI-A Place In The Sun 7"

well the past couple of days i've felt like garbage. what better to do then post. so here is the bootleg of the YDI 7". remember them from American Hardcore. that short clip of the singer whipping his elbows up and down. this is the Reagan Era boot. Reagan Era has the worst quality bootlegs. they don't even try to make them look good. the photos are pixelated and stretched. the insert is cut off so that they could print it on normal size paper. at least it's better then paying $300. so i can't complain, i guess. anyway, back to the record itself. originally released on Blood Bubble records in 1983. i like the fast straight forward tracks but not so much the slower ones. his voice gets a little to harsh on the slow tracks. short songs. nothing left to say. get it.

1. not shit 5/5 (nice.)

2. 1983 5/5 (favourite track.)

3. friends 4/5 (good.)

4. mad at the world 3/5 (ok.)

5. out for blood 3.5/5 (huh.)

6. categorized 5/5 (back to great.)

7. another day 5/5 (great bass.)

8. get up and fight/zombie youth 4/5 (cool.)

9. why die? 2.5/5 (weak closer.)

overall: 7/10 recommended

get the boot. although it looks crap, it's better than spending that much dough.

The Queers-A Proud Tradition 7" 1982 & 1984 EPs

ok hard to believe this but it's my first music post of september. and for that i am sorry but hopefully this will make up for it. two great old 7"s put together in one package. but still two 7"s, not all together on some 12". this is original format. i reviewed the first queers 7" some time ago so visit that post for more useful info. these two records were originally released in 1982 and 1984 on Doheny records. 200 pressed of each and no picture sleeves. the first record had hand written sleeves, not sure on the second record though. well the package i'm presenting here is the re-issue. it was released in 1992 on Selfless records. includes discography insert, well of discog at the time. so the first record is pretty good, but it's all about the second one. their 1984 7" is one of my favourite records ever released, really! it's so catchy. great songs, great everything. great production. great backing vocals. these aren't the fastest records in the world, but it works so well at this tempo. just fantastic. enough yapping, get this now and blow your mind!

1982 EP:

1. we'd have a riot doing heroin 5/5 (all first three songs are linked together by "one two three four.")

2. terminal rut 5/5 (bass.)

3. fagtown 5/5 (vocals nice.)

4. i want it now 5/5 (short.)

5. trash this place 2/5 (weird, not my favourite.)

6. love me 2.5/5 (somebody talks the lyrics. too bad because the music itself is great. music=5, vocals=0, total=2.5.)

overall: 8/10 strongly recommended

1984 EP:

1. kicked out of the webelos 5/5 (what a great song. you'll be yelling it all night.)

2. tulu is wimp 5/5 (drums.)

3. at the mall 5/5 (mall's suck.)

4. i spent the rent 5/5 (great little song.)

5. don't wanna work 5/5 (great.)

6. i'm useless 5/5 (yes.)

7. this place sucks 5/5 (my favourite song. when that chorus hits and the backing vocals are singing too, oh man it great!)

overall: 10/10 strongly recommended

i can't began to say how much i love early queers. if i had a chose on what my band sounded like, it would be this!

One Year Old!

well it's been a year since i started my blog. lots of things have happened. lots of records posted. met lots of great people. i started with the intention to just post reviews, and i did for several months. but after the first month i remember i completely forgot about the blog until my brother made a comment about it. then i went back at it. then sometime i quit, or felt like quitting, then i got some inspiration from some comments. then i started to add downloads ripped from my own vinyl. i made another blog for scans, then deleted it, and added the scans in downloads. the weirdest thing is that i started this blog 2 days before school started up. now one year later it's 1 day from the start of school. it's gonna suck to go back but whatever. so anyway, thanks to all who have made me go for a whole year.

SS Decontrol-The Kids Will Have Their Say 12"

(((re-post from Jan. 6/10@7:23pm)))

(((here's my first request post. well re-post. here's to you elliott. i don't know why you like the other albums but you do. man i hate his voice, but it's good on some songs. pretty great album i guess. jock itch is great. well, what are you waiting for, get it.)))

alright here's the infamous ss decontrol album. first off, i have ripped all the songs from my own bootleg copy. if the band members want me to take down the links i will, and that goes for any downloads i have, or will have. ok, i just had to say that because of the comments on GBM. time for the review. this was a split release with x-claim and dischord limited to only 1000 copies. there was a bootleg, i don't know what year, but it had ex-claim and discord instead of the correct spelling. only 600 copies of that are out there (that's the one i have). this is a great release and i don't know why a reissue has not be issued, and it probably won't. i don't really like any other albums by them because they're just mainly hard rock and his voice. save the link on the song titles for the download.

1. boiling point 5/5

2. fight them 3/5

3. do you even care 5/5

4. not normal 3.5/5

5. wasted youth 5/5

6. jock itch 5/5

7. fun to you 3.5/5

8. v.a. 5/5

The Throwaways/Spastic Panthers Split 7"

first off i'd like to say i've got 285 comments. i was surprised. also looking back at some downland, and the download counts are pretty high (for what i think). thanks to all who comment. you know who you are. i also have 3 followers now. keep downloading and commenting! anyway that's done. so by looking at the two covers you may think why the hell did they do a split. well i have no idea. a powerpop (yes it is) band and a brutal hardcore band. well they did it. both bands from alberta, canada and released on Handsome Dan records on april 21th of this year. my favourite is the Throwaways side. two females and a male on drums. then you have Spastic Panthers who i'm not too into. i don't know what it is but i just can't get into them. maybe you'll like em, who knows? the Throwaways side is heavy stereo. i much prefer mono. i do. well now the music.

The Throwaways

1. mikey erg! 5/5 (great melody.)

2. pterodactyl clap 5/5 (nice.)

3. summer song 5/5 (might destroy your left ear.)

4. got a problem? 5/5 (great song.)

Spastic Panthers

1. (i'm gonna) punch you in the dink 1/5 (not a fan of the lyrics.)

2. volatile 1/5 (meh.)

3. outta control 1/5 (nah.)

4. political song for dan izzo to sing 2.5/5 (only good song on this side, for me.)

first side is great but the other side isn't. get this from Handsome Dan records, the link is above.

State-No Illusions 7"

going back to straight up hardcore punk on this post. state released this in 1983 on Statement records. they released some other stuff but i've been told that it's crap compared to this. i think this was posted at kbd but only two tracks. so here it is in it's entirety. it's been bootlegged on reagan era and re-issued by Havoc records. get the great insert in the scans, includes lyrics. not really much too say so here's the music.

1. subvert 5/5 (nice.)

2. new right 5/5 (fast.)

3. attention 5/5 (great track.)

4. hard line 3/5 (weaker.)

5. no illusions 5/5 (fantastic riff, vocals, drums. just amazing!)

6. police state 5/5 (good.)

7. girl violence 3.5/5 (weaker enders on each side.)

Recommendations

well i've spent most of my time ripping tapes. those rips are horrible so they won't be posted. i'll post something soon. for real this time. but first i'd like to make some recommendations.

first up, H.R.S. records with some great releases. two to be exact. their first is a comp called Killed by Modern Problems Volume 1. i think we all know where that came from. KBD! (oh and if anyone wonders why i call early punk KBD punk, it's because the comps, not the site (although the site is awesome.)) anyway, the comp is great. bands like School Jerks, Rich White Males and much more. just look at the track listing at the HRS blog (link below). Dave G. you might like this cause there is a Social Circkle track, "youngster on the force." i think you might know it. and The Trites song sounds similar, vocals. so green/black/white tapes. white available still. volume one, and more volumes to come! buy it here: KBMP V.1. their second release is the School Jerks/Negative Lifestyle tape. it's great from two of my favourite bands at the moment. buy it from above link.

my next thought is that you should get the Boogie Nazis pearl harbor sessions tape. great surf punk. i think a proper review is in the future for that release. ryan from the band also runs a zine called Splasher so get that at the same time. it's about skating and surf punk. send in your contributions. oh and thanks ryan for TICS tape too.

lots of links on this post, check em all out!

Computer Down

no posts for a bit as i need to take my computer in. sorry.

Ripper #6

well i think it's about time for another zine review. this one being from way back in 1981. great zine and has the best reviews i've ever seen in a zine. all the dischord 7"s and many more. great interviews with tsol, wasted youth and black flag (right when henri became singer). and lots of other stuff too. get every ripper zine, if you can find em.

the reason i chose to do this is because the TSOL interview. that is what inspired me to re-post their 12", which i did in the previous post. i decided to scan a great picture of jack dressed in women's clothing, makeup and some kind of beret. the caption reads "If we put out record after record of political stuff, it would just be boring." sadly their next record, which isn't political, isn't very good. some good songs but just doesn't sound like the same band.

so yes the real reason i posted this was to show this photo.

T.S.O.L.-EP 12"

(((re-post from Nov. 12/09@4:23pm)))

(((well i've decided to re-post something and here it is. released on posh boy records and i'm not sure on the pressings but more than one for sure. only album by them that i like. their first lp has some good tracks but mostly i'm not a fan. my copy of this is pretty thrashed so it's very crackely, but i like it that way. all in all great first release!)))

tsol short for "true sounds of liberty." this was one of the first hardcore records i'd ever heard. since then i've tried to get this album. initially i though this was a 7" because i found it on 7inchpunk (website). so i didn't buy it because all the ones for sale said 12". recently i found out it is a 12", so (hopefully there are some 7" bootlegs out there).

1. superficial love 5/5 (best song on here. fast.)

2. property is theft 5/5 (great vocals. also fast.)

3. no way out 5/5 (nice vocals.)

4. abolish government/silent majority 4/5 (not a fan of the chanting thing.)

5. world war III 4/5 (it's fast.)

overall: 9/10 recommended (easily available on CD with some other record on it too. if i didn't say it enough times already: 12" 7" 12" 7" 12" 7" 12 " 7" 12" 7" there you go.)

The Maggotz-Tales From The City Of Vomit 7"

man i had busy weekend. i'm still reading Please Kill Me (strongly recommended) every night so i was basically didn't get any sleep. speaking of books, i just bought that complete touch and go zine book thing and the new book Why Be Something That You're Not. it's about the punk scene from 1979-1985. Revelation records released it and are in the works for another punk book but it's going into the 90's so i'm not getting it. speaking of the 90's, here's The Maggotz.

i was reading a post on Last Days and it inspired me to post this (the post was a 90's punk record). this was released on Nose Pick records in 1993 (the year i was born. now you all know my age). limited to 1000 and i have #785. this is how i got it. i was looking through my itunes and came across these two tracks (track one and two of this release) by the maggots. they were great. i didn't know where the tracks came from. so i searched for the maggots but couldn't find anything (later i realized it had a "z" at the end and not a "s"). then it hit me, mat dafuc. so i contacted him a found out that he ripped the tracks from his vinyl. he sent me some pics (we have the same couch) and i said now i just need a hard copy. couldn't find it anywhere. so i asked him if he knew where to get it and he found a place. he also found me that copy of The Spasms 7". thank you mat. so i went to the site bought it along with two other 7"s and about 10 zines. anyway, this record has the two best songs to come out of the 90's then the rest is just ok. crank the first two songs, short as hell too! enough of my yammering.

1. i 8 my brain 5/5 (amazing.)

2. orange slices 5/5 (even more amazing.)

3. blitzkrieg waltz 2/5 (ok.)

4. dry heave 3/5 (a little slower.)

5. full of hat 3/5 (too slow at points. and messed up ending. it clicks and stuff. it's not my copy, it's how it was done.)

overall: 6/10 recommended

get it from Stanton Park records along with tons of other stuff. in the scans i didn't connect the inside scan because it's easier to read the lyrics this way.

Epidemics

the great swedish band is releasing a new 7". i'm trying to find a label to release their stuff on this side of the ocean (canada or usa). if you haven't heard of them, then go here and listen. if your interested contact them EPIDEMICS! or me here.

Didn't Notice

i didn't notice until now that, that last update was my 200th post. hmm.

Slobs-Demo 7"

yes another band i found out about through the School Jerks Myspace site. great band from Montreal, along with Omegas. i got this from the band. it was originally released as a tape demo in 2009. then in 2010 they released it on a 7". whether in tape or vinyl, this record kills. good old fast punk. they also have shirts out, damn i should have got one!! lyrics included. get the scans. nothing else to say.

1. memory lapse 5/5 (great stuff.)

2. no escape 5/5 (nice.)

3. hope for nothing 5/5 (when they kick it, it's great.)

4. done caring 5/5 (maybe the best.)

5. chronic disease 5/5 (more fastness.)

Negative Lifestyle-EP 7"

back to posting mode. here we go. well these guys and School Jerks just released a split tape, which i still haven't got yet, but i need it! anyway i learned of these guys through the School Jerks myspace site. they had this band as a friend and i clicked on them. listened to the demo tracks (i remember i was at school and it was lunch) and saw that they were making a 7". YES! their demo tracks were great. i couldn't wait for the 7". but i did and a couple months ago they released this on Bat Shit records (i bought my school jerks demo tape from them too). so i bought the alternate version with this x-ray cover thing, 7 out of 69, download the scans to see it. the cover above is another alternate. two inserts. uk style 7" hole, i guess. greatly put together. i think there were only 300 pressed but tons of different colours. anyway, great fast pace hardcore punk. great vocals and hooks. this and the Night Birds 7" are the best releases of the year so far. will be hard to top this. the band found out about this blog and said they'd be honored to be on here. well thanks! site.

1. no system 5/5 (great opener.)

2. hangover anxiety 5/5 (best song!)

3. in a crowd 5/5 (fantastic.)

4. same walls 5/5 (i think it was the first song i heard of them.)

5. brainwashed 5/5 (nice end.)

overall: 10/10 strongly recommended

get this now! Bat Shit Records to buy it! buy the school jerks stuff too at the same time.

thanks to NL for checking this out. they said "oh thanks alot, we just read it and we love it, /Anders." thanks again guys!

Useful Update

alright this is a good update. first i added some great scans for the EVEN WORSE-MOUSE OR RAT? 7" post. i also added better stereo rips to THE FREEZE-RABID REACTION 12" post. follow those links! and come on peter it's a good album (epidemics).

Government Warning-No Moderation 12"

alright what has it been, a week since the last post. well i'm here now. man i go to sleep at 4 in the mourning now, because i'm up all night reading. i just bought Please Kill Me and that's the book that's making me wake up late. also mrr. i still like that zine. speaking of zines i just bought Ripper #6. it was released in 1981 and is the best zine ever. it has a great review section and interviews. zines are great!

anyway i thought i'd post a new record. why? because this rips. i posted one of their 7"s before. well this is their first 12" and it sounds more like their other releases. just the Arrested 7" has chunky sound. great fast pace hardcore punk. released in 2006 on Feral Ward records. lots of presses (i have the first). can't understand most of what he says but when i read the lyrics the first time, it seemed more clear, funny how that works. well i scanned the big sheet so you all can read the lyrics (download the scans). now i'll shut my yap (mainly cause it's 1:03am).

1. no moderation 5/5 (great song.)

2. jocks and cops 5/5 (nice.)

3. cutting room floor 4/5 (cough.)

4. fat nation 5/5 (always my favourite by them. fantastic chorus, catchy.)

5. self medication 5/5 (great album.)

6. trend city 4/5 (yes.)

7. slave labor 5/5 (great guitar riff, fast a f**k too.)

8. power keg 4/5 (what drum beat is that?)

9. see the truth 4/5 (wow.)

10. sick of home 5/5 (nice ender.)

overall: 9/10 strongly recommended

get this, it's everywhere. i'm tired, now i'm off to read Please Kill Me.

Beefeater-House Burning Down 12"

i started this on the 9th but had to go on a trip early, so here is the finished product.

well i'm going away today and thought i wouldn't get a chance to post this, but here i am. what better to post then a record i got exactly a year ago on my last trip. we were in halifax and i was looking for some record stores. well i found one and bought this because it was on the dischord label. i also bought the minor threat demo tape 7". i had to wait another 2 weeks to actually hear the record. so i got home and popped it on the turntable. i thought the worst but was surprised. i actually liked it, more on the metal side, but not metal vocals or drums. mainly just the metal tasting guitar. the bass is great and funky on this. funk is the best. some throw away tracks but still. so anyway this was released in 1986 and i believe their last of three efforts. now enjoy this or die (well not really). a lot of no rating songs, because they aren't really songs.

1. introlude (inrto by ian mackaye, not song, no rating.)

2. just things 5/5 (great song.)

3. bedlam rainforest 4/5 (nice.)

4. interlude (no point to this filler tracks.)

5. move me strong 5/5 (great.)

6. interlude (another one.)

7. one soul down 4/5 (good.)

8. ain't got no time (nothing.)

9. interlude (saxophone.)

10. sinking me 4/5 (cool.)

11. dover beach 0/5 (weak.)

12. insurrection chant 4/5 (nice.)

13. 40 sonnets on plants (what the hell?)

14. with you always 5/5 (fantastic.)

15. freditude 0/5 (weak again.)

Chronic Disorder-"Spit Man And The Masters Of The Universe"/"Big Smelly Fish" 12"

yes it's time again for my favourite band, chronic disorder. another limited as hell release, only 300. silk screened cover by the band themselves in 1985. i love the stains of each colour on both sides, greatly done. see the scans/pics at bottom. the lyric sheet was scanned so you can sing along to your favourites. my goal is to get Spit to comment on this, wishful thinking. great mix of different styles of music on this. i don't know the actual title to this album but the labels say "spit man and the masters of the universe" and "big smelly fish" so that's what i'm going with. the sound varies with each song. the loudest songs being track 2 and 3 and the quietest is the last track, so crank it up on that song. one of the great bands that didn't go metal in the later 80's and thank god for it. they released another lp after this that is quite different. it has some great tracks and some weird tracks. then they released another lp on posh boy and is said to be the worst posh boy release. i've only heard two tracks from it, but they are great tracks so i don't know what the problem is.

i looked for this forever. i looked on ebay everyday. i searched on google until the 50th page. then i realized, wait what about How's Your Edge. so i went into the swap department and found 4 people who owned it. i contacted all of them and only one responded. some guy from buffalo, and we reached an amount. thank you martin krajewskri.

"spit man and the masters of the universe" side

1. the final line 5/5 (great opener. the beginning sounds off time but that's what's great about the band.)

2. not funny (fascists cliques) 5/5 (great and loud. love the cow bell parts.)

3. fire 5/5 (greatest track, loud and amazing.)

4. amnesia 4/5 (slower song.)

5. my god 5/5 (all parts great.)

6. waiting 5/5 (on one of the big city comps.)

7. a sort of serenade 5/5 (fantastic guitar soloing. catchy.)

8. i see red 5/5 (they must have recorded this song a million times and every time it's great.)

"big smelly fish" side

9. a waltz/blood and honor 5/5 (great opening to one of my favourite chronic disorder songs.)

10. the gods are laughing at us 5/5 (straight ahead punk.)

11. nostalgia 3.5/5 (slower too.)

12. cold war 5/5 (i think it's "spit rants" (from first album) with a different name and added parts.)

13. america 5/5 (catchy too.)

14. away 5/5 (slower but great vocals,)

15. starting over 5/5 (always loved this song.)

16. leave us alone 5/5 (fantastic drum beat, vocals, everything. CRANK THIS TRACK TO MAX! at the end there is a backwards part and i reversed it and i think he says "we keep getting off beat" or something like that, decide for yourselves.)

overall: 10/10 strongly recommended (had to give this a perfect score even though nostalgia is a little weaker.)

i doubt you'll find this anywhere else. i should name this site, "The Chronic Disorder Praise Blog."

Chronic Disorder-EP 7"

(((re-post from Mar. 17/10@12:20am)))

(((re-post from Jan. 1/10@12:00pm)))

(((alright i bet you won't see this anywhere, not the record, but the fact that it's been re-posted twice, two times. the first rip was bad and didn't show off the greatest of this record. added new scans, but one flaw. the first scan of the cover was from my old scanner and it was the only scan that looked great. now i scanned it on my new scanner and the scanner didn't pick up the fluorescent spray paint. well you'll see them both anyway. now add this to your top 5.)))

i decided to re-post this record and add mp3s, which i will be doing to possibly many previous posts. the reason is because this is one of the greatest records of all time and at the same time one of the rarest. limited to 300 copies and never any type of repress or bootleg. thanks to punk not profit for turning me on to this. as soon as i heard it i immediately went out and searched for it. after a long time of searching i finally found a copy on ebay. i knew this was going to go high so i contacted the seller to ask him to buy it now. we reached a price and the next week it arrived in the mail. i opened it up and since, never stopped playing it. the packaging is a little weird, for a couple of reasons, but amazing cause it was all done by the band. for one the cover is not attached so there is two sleeves. the one has a flap with lyrics on the flap. which brings me to the second reason, all the lyrics aren't written down, just some of them. the last reason is the song listings. on the back cover it looks like the first song is blood and honor, but it says that blood and honor is on the b-side. also on the back cover the last song on the b-side is called spit rants but on the record label it is blank there. anyway, you can tell these guys had a good sense of humour. there are three members in the band but only two on the cover. the back cover states "rich does not appear on the cover because he went to the beach instead." the singer was only 16 and the other two were 18 and 19 when this was recorded in 83'. their other releases don't come close to the greatness of this. download and enjoy (you better like it). sloppy, they make mistakes, but those are the best parts. it shows that the band is real. i love mistakes and sloppy play.

1. the final line 5/5 (great opener.)

2. a job, a car, a wife 5/5 (great. it's the sloppiest track.)

3. (untitled) 5/5 (nice.)

4. blood and honor 5/5 (classic.)

5. starting over 5/5 (great lyrics.)
