The Eat – CD
The Eat – It’s not The Eat it’s the Humidity – 2xCD Alternative Tentacles Records Unless you lived in South Florida and were privy to punk rock back between 1979-1985 you probably never heard of The Eat. They put out a pair of singles back then that only got about as far as their state [...]
The Locust – New Erections
The Locust – New Erections CD Anti/Epitaph The Locust to me are one of the most interesting newer bands around these days. Instead of following the latest trend of hardcore and punk, they went out and forged their own sound which has since been copied by quite a few bands, none of which can do [...]
So Unloved – Pink Black & Broken CD
So Unloved – Pink Black & Broken CD SOS Records I saw So Unloved open for The Adicts last fall and was pretty impressed with them. They are a four-piece band consisting of three ladies and one gentlemen (who plays drums). They can’t be much older than 18, they look really young, but don’t let [...]
Red Alert – The Best of Red Alert CD
Red Alert – The Best of Red Alert Blazin’ Thru the Years CD SOS Records UK punk was never my specialty. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, with some exceptions, I didn’t give a lot of UK bands a fair shake as I was always more interested in the bands from [...]
Blight – Detroit CD
Blight – Detroit: The Dream is Dead CD Touch and Go Records In the early 1980′s, Touch and Go Records put out some really great punk records from Midwest hardcore bands. Negative Approach, Necros, Meatmen and The Fix singles have become legends in the minds of hardcore punk record collectors, but there were a few [...]
Blitz – Hits CD
Blitz – Hits CD SOS Records Blitz is one of those old time UK street punk bands that went largely ignored by me in my young punk years. I always was much more partial to US Hardcore so I overlooked a lot of good UK bands back then that only now am I starting to [...]
Black Market Baby – Coulda Shoulda Woulda CD
Black Market Baby – Coulda… Shoulda… Woulda… CD Dr. Strange Records In the world of hardcore punk, Washington DC has become somewhat legendary. In the early days of hardcore, DC had so many great bands that you couldn’t help but take notice. Most of this centered around Dischord Records, however there was plenty of great [...]
Code of Honor – Complete Studio Recordings CD
Code of Honor – Complete Studio Recordings 1982 – 1984 CD Subterranean Records Code of Honor were a Northern California punk rock band who sort of formed out of the ashes of Sick Pleasure, whom they shared a split LP with more than 20 years ago. The band was formed by Michael D. Fox, who [...]
Urinals – What is Real and What is Not CD
The Urinals – What is Real and What is Not CD Warning Label Records The Urinals have their own little niche in punk history. They were an influence to some and helped create a little scene of their own on the outskirts of the “big” punk scene in Los Angeles that got all the recognition. [...]
Warfrat Tales Unabridged CD
Various Artists Warfrat Tales Unabridged CD Avebury Records If there is one problem with having a vault consisting of thousands of records is that there are plenty of them that you own, yet go ignored and damn near forgotten for years. Sometimes it takes something old being reissued on a CD for you to take [...]
Bang Sugar Bang – Thwak Thwak Go Crazy CD
Bang Sugar Bang – Thwak Thwak Go Crazy CD SOS Records Though this is their second release, it is the first I’ve heard of this Southern California band. Upon reading the bio that was included with my CD, three things caught my eye. The band is from Southern California, my favorite punk rock home Geza [...]
Urinals – Negative Capability…Check it Out CD
Urinals – Negative Capability…Check it Out CD Warning Label Records When I first got into punk rock, I hadn’t heard of the Urinals. It wouldn’t be until I got the Minutemen record, The Politics of Time, that I’d come to hear of them because of the Minutemen doing a cover of “Ack Ack Ack” on [...]
Dead Kennedys – Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables 25th anniversary CD/DVD
Dead Kennedys – Fresh Fruit for Rotten Vegetables 25th anniversary CD/DVD Manifesto Records This album and this band really doesn’t need any introduction. In the 25 years since their inception, the Dead Kennedys have been a staple of any punk rock fan’s musical collection since nearly the day they became a fan of the genre, [...]
