A full 17 song LP from this durable Bay Area band. They’re varying the pace more these days, and in this case it really works well. Excellent recording, great passionate vocals and screams, and definitely worth a listen. Cool label, too. Support this!
First off, you get 70 minutes of MOTO STILL BIRTH recorded live at Jake’s last show. They’ve been around forever and yet no one seems to know who they are. They mix thrash, metal, punk, and even a little reggae and remain politically aware and totally incoherent at the same time. Plus 20 minutes of VICTIMS FAMILY, including three non-LP tracks.
Two years after the Hayseed Hardcore EP and some lineup changes, the Canadian SONS return. This is a great album of sociopolitical thrash and the lyrics are right on target. And yes, the cover of “Stairway to Heaven” is priceless.
Blistering innovative metal punk from San Jose. Includes a cover of a cover (“Psycho Chicken”) and I like it.
Put out by Funhouse Records in Germany, this features the Another Wasted Night EP, the PMRC Sucks 12″, plus “Another Bomb,” ”Sold Out Alabama,” and a live version of “Let’s Drink Some Beer.” Drunk rock for the masses.
Finally out, this second and final LP by this defunct Chicago outfit. Recorded over two years ago, this is what HÜSKER DÜ and especially SOUL ASYLUM sounded like at their best. Personal lyrics delivered with plenty of emotion. Thumbs up, dude.
“Common sense, enjoyment, respect for life and responsibility” appear on the insert for this, the sixth vinyl release from this durable Aussie band. Four well-produced rockin’ punk tunes accompany and enforce this message. “Turned to Stone” is the standout.
Two songs each from FEED YOUR HEAD and HEX. Both offer basic mid-tempo UK punk, pro-protest and anti-system. This label continues to support relative unknowns. Keep it up!
The second LP from CHUMBA is as lyrically on target as ever. They blend many musical styles, tempos and deliveries and top it off by putting it out on their own label. A superb effort with excellent results. Gatefold cover, too.
Twelve angry snarling thrash tunes crammed onto one 7″, this one has good sound quality and all of the lyrics in Finnish.
This pleasant surprise has four rockin’ pop punk tunes, with topics like Reagan, rednecks, organized religion, love, hate, and “Mental Gangreen.” This is great, so buy it now, okay?
